What's the difference if you're married or not?

The difference is that you are meant to wait until after marriage to have . It is because people sleep around before marriage that has made marriage seem pointless. Of course if you can live together, sleep together and have children without being married, marriage seems pointless. But if you do things right, there is a reason for marriage. And people try harder once they are married because they have made a promise to God. If my husband and I didn't make the promise to God I highly doubt we would be together today.
