My assets will go to my partner and kids....Married people arent the only ones that have wills you know 
By Australian law we have the same rights as a married 'piece of paper' couple!

I personally hate the "It's only a piece of paper" statement. It's a legal, binding contract. Besides that, the whole belief that it is just a piece of paper, is sort of contradictory. If it is such a non-issue what's the big deal about going down to the court house and getting that little means nothing piece of paper?

I personally hate when people think they can tell others how they believe they should live their life! My life, my choice, build a bridge and get over it!

I've heard a lot of people say that they don't want that little piece of paper because they're afraid of how it will change their relationship. Yet these same people will go and have kids without seemingly a care in the world about how doing that will change their relationship. Also if you don't think relationships change on their own with or without a piece of paper you're deluding yourself. My wife and I got married hoping things would stay the same but knowing they wouldn't.

Kids change your relationship, married or defacto, and i know many of both types who have the belief their life will just cruise along merrily the way it was when they were kidless. So your point is?? What does this have to do with having 'the piece of paper'
If that was pointed at me personally, i certainly did not think having kids was going to be a complete walk in the park, and i knew things would change.
Bilbo and I behave no different to a married couple, we are seen in the eyes of the laws to be a 'married' couple. I do not see the point in a 'piece of paper' nor do i see it making a difference to our relationship!
