| If the question is serious, then at least one part of the answer must be 'Security'. It is also very convenient. Many things have reduced rates for members of the same family, I have the same name as Mr L and so do the children. Minor things I suppose, but in those days if one was in love and wanted to set up house together, one got married.
I've never regretted it in spite of the tax system, which certainly puts married couples at a disadvantage compared with those who simply live together.
With my tongue in my cheek I would say that it is a wonderful thing to be married at this time of year. I put all my paperwork on the desk to my left and leave Mr L to fill in the tax forms while I sit and chat on the Forum. | |

Hi there thanks for your reply. I am not sure when we are going to find time to get married and have been together for long enough that I feel quite secure but I would like to think we will get round to it at some point and was worried that Switzerland's tax laws might slow things down further. If it is a massive hit financially we would have to consider the implications. Well he would I expect, if it were just down to me and my romantic head I would probably say sod it. Its not a first marriage for either of us and there wont be any children but I was just a bit confused about why such a seemingly conservative country would make it cheaper for people to cohabit than marry.
Thanks again for your feedback though.
Em
