Young couples tend to see marriage as a path to a beautiful future, and it often is for those who survive the rigors of life. They have each other for support, and they can share the good times along with the bad. Starting a family is all part of their future plans, and those days can be a trial.

Other couples with a long history could find they will suffer a loss of income if they choose to take formal vows.
