FYI: “I DON’T GET IT.” That’s what my friend said when I told him I would consider marrying my significant other.
“Why do you feel you need to get married?” he continued. “You’re both in your 60s. You’re not going to have any children. There’s no reason you should get married. If you did, you would make the relationship more complicated. You both probably would want a prenuptial agreement protecting your assets. That, in itself, could create some hard feelings. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.”
Is he right? Is marriage unnecessary for an older single person who’s retired or close to it?

Ted
