My colleague Wendy Lu wrote a wonderful story for HuffPost Personal this week about her and her partner’s nine year relationship and why — despite societal expectations and prodding — they’re not married. “For us, getting married doesn’t mean proving our commitment to each other — we’ve already done that over the last nine years. Getting married, for us, means celebrating all that we’ve gone through and everything that’s to come,” she writes. “In the end, it could still be another week, a month or a year before we get married. The important thing is that it’s up to us.” |
