It's empowering to form your identity independent of a spouse – whether that means reaching career goals, becoming a single parent, volunteering for social causes or whatever it is that enriches your life and makes you "you." If you do choose to partner up, the advantages of not getting married are plentiful. When relationships hit rocky patches – as they all do sometimes – it's reassuring to know that there isn't a messy divorce waiting down the line, should it come to that.
