I see people who don't get married just so they can dip out easier if something better comes along... as insecure. It's much more than that. For example, I am 50 years old. I will not remarry without a legal agreement that my husband will not go after my home, retirement, other assets, etc. I don't have a lot and can't afford to lose what I have. Marriage is legally-binding and it is risky, especially for those of us who are too old to start over again. There are ways to reduce the risk. I can have an intimate relationship without having a piece of paper from the state testifying to it.
