or lets say ya stayed together for four years and that person is in a condition in the hospital where they are only living because a machine is acting as if it was their lungs to give him/her air.. and then you know that person is suffering and u can't stand to see her suffer.. so wen if you were married.. u could have the choice turn off the machine and stop letting him/her suffering by dying immideatly.. but then if u wern't married.. you would have no choice at all and see em suffer for as long as possible...
