Los últimos momentos de Jenni Rivera antes de morir (VIDEO)
Singer Enrique Iglesias has been dating retired pro tennis star Anna Kournikova for more than 11 years, so why haven't they gotten hitched yet?
According to an Us Magazine report, Iglesias doesn't feel marriage is necessary to be committed to your partner.
"I've never really thought marriage would make a difference. Maybe it's because I come from divorced parents, but I don't think you love someone more because of a piece of paper," Iglesias told Parade.

i have always felt and wondered why people put so much emphasis on a piece of paper in a relationship. sometimes that little piece of paper does more harm than good.

Do you not think calling marriage a "piece of paper" isn't the least bit insulting to those who are in a happy healthy marriage? Marriage is far too deep for people like you to even understand. Let me guess...you're divorced?

laura, is it the piece of paper or their relationship with each other that makes them happy? how many people do you think are saying or thinking to themselves, "oh, i cant be happy unless i have a piece of paper granting me permission to be happy"?

Except that it isn't "just a piece of paper", it is what it
represents. Gee, how do we spell this out for you?
The committment is genuine enough to stand before God and
one's family and declare it so. It is also for the benefit
of the children. Just shacking up...allows a much easier
"out" when things get rough...and they always do. Easier
to give up than to WORK like us married folks do...to repair
and prune and nourish and nurture to keep the marriage intact.
It may be happening more these days, but co-habitation is still
not morally acceptable. Only people who are selfish and
cowardly speak as does Iglesias here.

How old are the people replying to this post? Are you male or female and do you have a job to support yourself?
These answers make a difference on your opinion on this matter.

Everyone seems to be either offended by his comment because they themselves are married or because he doesn't think he needs the piece of paper. Get over it. It's not like he's telling you that you shouldn't have the piece of paper, just what he's comfortable without it and that's only because he's in an interview. That's between him and his partner. Live and let live. When the bottom line rolls around, how does it impact anyone after all except the two of them? I'm married and happily 30 years; his statement didn't offend me, why should it? I wouldn't dream of pressuring him to get married; he's in a relationship with a consenting adult and who the heck am I to pass judgment? If we'd all just decide to be the best each of us could be and shut our yaps about other people's relationships, it would be a nicer place to be in.
Oh, and BJones, don't use words like "Only" and "always"; you're can't be right using those words. I know many people living together many years and very happily; some are actually heterosexual. I'm guessing that will make your head explode but I couldn't resist. As far as selfish and cowardly, I think you lack some Christian characteristics that you believe you have.

If this "piece of paper" isn't that important why the hell are guys trying so hard to get gay marriage legalized?

To mature people, it's more than a piece of paper. Someday you may grow to appreciate the significance of marriage. But, probably not. You may be doomed to a life alone, pretending you're happy and it's by choice. Sad

Marriage is so much more than a piece of paper it is an institution created by God himself between Adam and Eve.
