People meet, people fall in love, get married - words from an old, my favorite song). In our modern world, it is the norm when a man and a woman, before getting married, decide to live together a little and get to know each other better. This is completely normal, because if a couple in love does not go through the experience of living together, then in the future the man and woman may simply become disappointed in their partner. A future married couple simply needs to go through this path, since family life is a very responsible undertaking! It happens that people have known each other for a long time and have been living together for several years and building their own life, but they are in no hurry to make their relationship official. As a rule, the person who resists getting a “stamp in the passport” is a man. Because of this, the procedure is postponed until later. There is nothing wrong with this if such a desire is mutual. Maybe people feel much better and calmer this way. But what to do when a woman wants to become a wife officially and is waiting for a marriage proposal from her beloved man? A protracted sentence clearly offends a woman! Let's try to highlight the "pros" and "cons" of civil marriage! Pros: - Time spent together will allow you to find out if this is your person. - You will find out whether you can rely on your chosen one. - Will you be able to agree on how you will distribute your finances. Now about the cons. I would like to note that there are fewer pros than cons. For a woman, a civil marriage is still an unequal marriage. Since a woman bears all the responsibilities as a spouse. But for a man, nothing really changes; he remains a bachelor as he was. According to statistics, men behave worse towards women with whom they live in a civil marriage. Of course, not everything, because it depends on the person himself, his character and human qualities! But still, in civil marriages, a greater number of insults and assaults were recorded. Negative impact on children and their future attitude towards family life. There is no protection from a legal point of view. And finally, our society is more trusting of a married man and a married woman! These are all general points, everyone decides for themselves how to live. The main thing is that the decision we make is honest with ourselves. And we felt so comfortable, not anyone else!
