1) Your age? 18.
2) Do you plan on getting married? Maybe someday. Marriage has evolved over the years to where if two people aren't married, they don't receive certain benefits from the government. I don't see a reason why a piece of paper should dictate whether I love someone or not. Also, I find it discriminative that two people of the same gender cannot marry in the majority of the United States.
3) Are you going to have any sort of cohabitation? I would like to. I spent a week with someone before and I'm glad we did because we were very comfortable around one another and I'd gladly live with him knowing he isn't a slob.
4) Do you think cohabitation helps to avoid divorces, or increase the chances of divorce? Explain why. I think cohabitation helps avoid divorces. I'm not religious; I believe living together before marriage allows you to know your partner better on many levels.
5) Do you think love is essential for marriage? Explain why. For my marriage, yes. I want to be married to someone because I love them, but also for stability, which has a more minor role.
6) Do you plan on having children? If so, why, and how many? I'm afraid to give birth, to be honest. I'm also afraid of needles and other medical instruments. In fact, thinking about the process of bleeding and intense pain during child birth makes me feel sick. As for adopting a child, I don't know.
