Sharni that little piece of paper is much more than a little piece of paper. Have you stopped to consider what happens to your assets when you die with out that little piece of paper? While married couples should have wills having one is the only way for you two to insure that your assets go to each other and not each others parents, or siblings.

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'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.
