    Why do people live together for years and years and avoid the altar? I guess because the person that has more money does not want to have to be forced to share it with their former beloved if things go south?

    Mainly because marriage vows are considered temporary anyway these days. Texas allows “Common Law Marriage” meaning if you spend a night together, you are married! How is that for handy , , , ,

    Get it right. Just spending the night together does not constitute a common-law marriage in TX. The “couple” actually has to represent themselves as married (i.e. introduce the other person as the proverbial ball & chain) and live at the same residence.

    Thank goodness there are those limits, or I’d be married to an awful lot of people right now…
