Marriage, in Sickness and for Health Insurance - On Health and Money (usnews.com)

After 12 years of unwedded bliss, two friends of mine recently got married. The reason: Her job offers health insurance benefits to married couples but not unhitched cohabiting ones. Now it turns out these two may have been at the leading edge of a trend. According to a new poll, 7 percent of respondents said they or someone they lived with decided to get married in the last year in order either to have access to health insurance benefits or to give their new spouse access.

MARRIAGE AND COMPATIBILITY

~C4Chaos — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 18:41:56 GMT

MARRIAGE AND COMPATIBILITY

During our ten-day courtship, which led to engagement, my wife and I discussed most of the questions presented below. (We have now been married 14 years, and counting.) To our surprise, many of our close friends and relatives have never discussed some of these important issues openly and honestly, even couples that have been married for years. So how did they decide they were compatible? I have no idea! Apparently they never made such a decision, at least not at an intellectual level. According to the songs on the radio, "Our love will see us through." But life is rarely that simple. We believe couples planning a longterm relationship, or already immersed in one, should answer these questions separately, in writing, and then discuss their answers together. Try to understand your partner's point of view, and think of ways you can meet in the middle.
