Nothing says commitment quite like the words, "Marry me." In a second marriage especially, I think it gave not only me a sense of security and completion, but also my kids. We're in this for the long haul. I don't speak for everyone I know, but for me it was very, very necessary. I think marriage is relevant.

Necessary, I mean. And I wish I had forgone it sometimes. It's giving me something to think about, this idea that maybe I'm struggling in my marriage (to a man with kids) because the institution of marriage isn't relevant/alive as it once was? I agree we're not going to give up on romance and love. But marriage? We might be able to live and live well without it! NO IT ISN’T. Necessary, I mean. And I wish I had forgone it sometimes.
