"Living in sin" (as our parents, and some denizens of the net so
inelegantly put it) is not a copout from responsibility.  When two
people are living together without the legal restraints that a
marriage gives, it is infinitely easier to "pack up my goodies and
leave".  After all, unless the partner is well-motivated, they
wouldn't pursue the other in repsect to support (monetary or
otherwise) in a legal manner. I do realise this has been changing in
the past few years, but how many people do you know (mostly women,
I'm afraid), who have said they are happy to get married because it
feels more secure (ie, the other person can't skip on a whim).

Besides, how can you tell how you *really* feel about each other
until you've both had rousing cases of influenza?  :-)
