Good grief.
Well, I remember a while ago seeing a thread about if people on here had children or not, so I figured a marriage poll would be fitting.
What's your marital status?

Married. My husband and I celebrated our 13th anniversary this past January. 
I have been happily married for 13 years. It will be 14 years this June. It's my first, and hopefully only, marriage. My main reason for wanting to get married was because of the legal benefits, but I did enjoy planning my wedding and it's nice to know that my husband and I both felt strongly enough to commit ourselves to each other.
However, I also completely understand why some people feel no need for marriage. I've had several friends who felt that way. Honestly, being married did not change my relationship at all, so if you don't feel like it's something you want to do, it's not like you're missing out on anything.
I was in a relationship with someone else for 8 years before my husband came along, and although we talked about marriage, we never made it official. Especially during the last few years of that relationship, I started to resist the idea of marriage. When the relationship finally fell apart, I was glad that I had followed my instincts. It was still ridiculously difficult to disentangle our lives after being together for so long, but at least we didn't have to go through the legal aspect of a divorce as well.
Moral of the story, marriage can be wonderful if it's with the right person and it's something you both want, but don't rush into it and don't let others pressure you into thinking you have to get married. It's a very personal, individual decision.

Never have, not sure if I ever will. It doesn't help that I also don't date.
From personal experience, marriage is a contract that allows partners legal access to stuff like car insurance discounts and hospital visits (like apparently you can't visit your spouse in a hospital unless you are legally wed?) I know people who did the all out wedding and those who've done the courthouse wedding. It's a paper that legally says you are married, as opposed to common-law married. Nothing much really.

unmarried. I'm happy to see others not planning on getting married at all. I thought it was just me. Ever since I was 4-5 I told someone who asked me if I wanted to get married that I didn't. She said I'll change my mind when I get older. 28 years old and I still don't want to get married. I feel like a fish without water just thinking about it. It makes me feel tied down and that I won't be free. Then again men are trash now a days why bother getting married when I already get the intuition its going to end. I rather be a free butterfly. If you're married you truly love that's great, congrats but it ain't my thing. but funny how I want a ring on my finger but don't wanna be tied to a piece of paper.

I've been single since birth, and I'm only looking for a matesprit/partner via the real world, since those dating sites/apps mostly contain catfishes. (Or is that a mindset of mine because I was somewhat forced to watch along with that weird show for most of the time? )

not married (im 18 so-) i dont know if i want to get married at all anyways. its a tradition i think gen z and even millennials are straying away from wanting which is a good thing imo. it sucks when people think as they age they need to get married to fill some void or be accepted. if i find the man of my dreams when im older i think i’d rather just keep a really close relationship. buuut id love to have a wedding for aesthetic reasons so idk
Unmarried, but my bf and I plan on marrying in future since we've been together for nearly 6 years, and he's religious so marriage is a big goal for him. I don't have very strong opinions on marriage itself, I'm just very not into the idea of having a wedding because I'm very shy and would rather get married in private :''')
It used to be like that back when I got married, specifically for critical or intensive care situations, and that was one of my driving reasons behind wanting to get married. I was afraid that if something tragic happened to either myself or my husband, we would be prevented from seeing each other if we were't married. I also wanted him to be able to make decisions in the event that I was medically unable to and he wanted the same for me.
I believe there is now a federal law that at least states hospitals cannot restrict people from visiting as long as the patient gives permission for that person to be there. But of course that is only good if the patient is conscious and cognizant. If you're in critical condition, you may not be able to tell the doctors or nurses who you want with you.
