I believe you can be committed without taking the legal steps but at the same time it means a lot to me to have taken that step and to be able to call him my husband. Plus there are certain credit, legal and tax benefits from doing the deed :) Food, Booze, & Baggagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975014929164134881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167834856235410392.post-71468919465230046842014-05-29T13:33:58.142-05:002014-05-29T13:33:58.142-05:00I think marriage to me just represents another ste...I think marriage to me just represents another step and formally committing to one another.
