Christina and James met in college and have been dating for more than five years. For the past two years, they have been living together in a condo they purchased jointly.

The couple had many discussions about marriage and decided that it just did not seem necessary. Wasn't it only a piece of paper? And didn't half of all marriages end in divorce?

Neither Christina nor James had seen much success with marriage while growing up. Christina was raised by a single mother. Her parents never married, and her father has had little contact with the family since she was a toddler, Christina and her mother lived with her maternal grandmother, who often served as a surrogate parent.

James remained close with his father who remarried and had a baby with his new wife.
