That's true, and fine when you have money. My husband of 44 years passed this April 2023. Worked for the government over 30+ years. Died before he could retire. We were married 44 years. Because I'm his spouse I got his retirement. I had to provide his certified death certificate AND our marriage license. Without that just living together for 44 years wouldn't have been enough. It also allowed me to take half of my social security and half of his, which means my social security is now higher. I'm not able to work, and for those that can, if you take social security you can only work part time. He also left me life insurance we carried, and life insurance through his government job. That wouldn't work either without a marriage license. So, I'm happy for them both and understand why they've chosen not to marry, but for most of us it just isn't practical.
This comment should be pinned. This is so important for people to read. Marriage is more than just a “piece of paper” everyone keeps referencing. Marriage is a symbol of deep commitment and gives both partners spiritual AND legal rights.
I know there are no words of solace at a time as this while you are in the throes of grief. My condolences to you and your family over the loss of your spouse and the father of your cherubs. Prayers up to you and yours. 🙏🏻😇
I thought they were married this whole time. Not only are they an amazing couple but I have only heard nothing but the best at how he was the best father figure for her children. He made sure he was going to be there for them. That is amazing love to not only love your woman but to love her children fully!
@@choosethewright7652she’s only been married once… not sure where you got the number three. she broke off a proposal after that which only proves she was smart enough to break it off before signing a legally-binding contract lol
My two daughters met Kate while she was filming a movie. They just happened to walk by and Kate spoke to them when she didn’t have to. She invited them to watch after they had a conversation. It was very positive so unlike what many people have experienced with other celebrities.
@@MichelleMatthews-ei8ir I agree if they find a person that works, some rush in and don’t find one that works and they feel they have to stay even if abused
I love these two together. Their love for each other has stood the test of time. Congrats you guys. I'm waiting to see so much more of this great love. 🎉🎉🎉
We've been married for 49 years & dated for 3 years before that. We would do it all again. Friendship, love, laughter, tears, commitment to each other is what it takes. It either brings you closer or drive you apart. I'm glad they remain together & are happily in love. Two couples make different choices, but both couples still in love. Sweet life.
That's so beautiful ❤congratulations 🎊 I lost my husband in accident he was 47 4 years ago but I know if he lived we would still be going strong we were friends as well ❤️ he was beautiful. Blessings to you both ❤
@@CS-mf5unno, people hold on to the relationship when they're married because they are married. Even if it would be better to leave. It's the same with staying together for the kids. That's unhealthy.
My partner and I have been together 26 years this last Christmas and have never gotten married. We don’t feel the need to have to to prove our love for each other or our commitment with marriage. But we also share everybody else’s joy when they want to get married to do those things. In our hearts we are married, and that’s all that really counts to us ❤❤❤
Just maintain that same attitude while married and there won't be a divorce. I think when people get married they feel this enormous pressure to not fail that they sabotage themselves. I've been with my husband for 11 years and I can understand because everyone in my family from my grandmother to Aunts and Uncles and my parents and my cousins are all divorced. I'm the youngest and am the only one who has made it work so far. And that's because my husband is my bestfriend. I talk to him about everything and when these apprehensions about marriage come up I don't plan my exit I discuss with him my fear and we resolve it together one day at a time.
Yes, I agree with you. People who get divorced are often the ones who dont respect, or even hate their significant other in some way. Always making jokes about hating the married life etc. From the beginning! Ive seen it happen. My husband is my best friend as well and we treat each other with respect
I’d like to give people a break. People are human! people are a work in progress. It takes years for one to understand them selves much less understand what they want or what they need from another. Finding the right person right away, maybe sheer luck , maybe it was destiny, maybe it was pre-planned. That we are all on our journey and everyone is doing the best they can.

Those who think marriage is just a piece of paper don't really understand marriage. And Goldie and Kurt have had a common law marriage for the last 33 years. After 7 years you are considered married in many states. My husband and I will celebrate our 50th next year! Three children and ten grandchildren have enriched our lives beyond measure! We have been so blessed! It's what I would wish for anyone!
I am sure Goldie had to suppress the desire on some level. Most women want the security of a marriage not just the benefits of having a partner...but Hollywood sells sin loke it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Wow, what's it like to think you're smarter than everyone else? (sarcasm) We understand marriage just fine. Get off your high horse. Your husband probably cheated on you just to be around a less pompous woman for a break.
There is no common law marriage in California. What works for some people may not work for others. I love that they prove that you don’t have to be married to have a stable, loving marriage with beautiful children and grandchildren. No they’ve never walked down the aisle and with no common law in California no they’re not married. To each his own but it goes to show that no you don’t need to marry to be true to one another.
WoW! Congrats on your 50 anniversary, that's amazing I hope your love for each will continue to thrive as now days relationships don't last very long. So far Hubby and I will be celebrating our 28 anniversary next year ❤❤❤
@@nonamejane3590your point is very null and void. They didn't separate, so they both didn't opt for the easy way out. It's why you think it has to have a license biding them together for it to be sacred.

Breaking up after years together unmarried isn’t really much different than breaking up after being married. In both cases material belongings and feelings come into play.
Lol you don't buy anything together when you're not married, you come with what you have and you leave with what you brought in. It's not rocket science. I've been in a long term relationship. We didn't buy anything together.
Everyone’s arguing that they have true love because at any time they can walk away but they’re also saying “at any point in time if someone better comes along I might leave you for them.” One could argue that they’re constantly not choosing each other because they’re not committing. A marriage represents a bond. A promise. That means something. I heard a lot about not wanting more divorces. It sounds like she’s scared of marriage because she doesn’t think they’ll last. So she’s avoiding the divorce by avoiding the marriage. That doesn’t sound like true love. True love would be willing to commit. We all know this.
Easiest answer is…it’s not necessary. Marriage as defined by law is an economic commitment / legal union and why do either of these individuals need that? If i’m wrong, please show me a law that regulates feelings…which is what likely got them into the relationship.
They have a beautiful relationship. My Mommy and Daddy have been married since Mommy was 18 and I believe my Daddy was 20 or 21 and my Mommy is 80 and my Daddy passed away in 2022. Every year we celebrate another year they have been married because in my eyes, they didn't get divorced. I love you both so much Rest In Peace Daddy❤❤❤❤❤
That is so amazing and wonderful. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. My husband and I met when we were older, but we are the first marriage/only children for us. So, while we were 25 and 38 when we met, one day I plan on being 80 and 93!
@thatsauce882 I didn’t say they were committing adultery! Someone made that comment and I questioned the comment “adultery???”. I’m well aware of the definition of adultery!!!!
They are truly one of my favorite Hollywood couples. It works for them. It isn't for everyone, but they are happy and enjoying their lives. Blessings to them both-🌺
Been married 41 years to the love of my life ! What a wonderful life I have been living . Two beautiful daughters and a great dog!! Marriage is a give and take you know a two way street bumps along the way but I would not change anything . So blessed for all that I have!!
@@peggyclause8847protect each other from what exactly? If you need that protection you should not be getting married. Marriage is a business contract that has no place in true love.
Nobody needs a piece of paper to defy your Love, if y'all truly love each other y'all stay together with or without paper, the fact y'all did and it's been 40 years is amazing 💕💕 congratulations 💐💐
@@ceeejay9112they’re probably some 13 year old trying to sound older or interesting in anyway possible. Let them learn the hard way like everyone else.
I personally think that a paper is just a technically that allows one to help the other be the one deciding health issues. The need of having a stable, respectful relationship and the will to choose one another dose not change nor the commitment if there is a particular paper. My partner and I got married to celebrate our LOVE and Commitment to each other, plus it gave each other respectful rights under the law.
The only thing though, is that even if married, if one or the other had debilitating health issues, the courts could step in and appoint a guardian or a conservator. Guardian takes all. Everything.
@@monarene44 That is so sad. I truly don't understand that or why. I know that my husband would appoint my oldest daughter. She is not his blood daughter, but he trust her judgment.
@@crybebebunny I agree it’s sad and one of life’s sad ironies. It’s important to have estate planning papers in place: will, durable power of attorney, health care surrogate, and advanced directives. This all by itself can prevent minimize the risk of a guardian taking over.
Reminds me so much of my mom and “step-dad” aka her boyfriend of 10 years and counting. They got together at age 55 after each being married to their exes for 25 years. They don’t live together (not until they’re too old to be apart safely) and they won’t be getting married. I think that kind of love is so sweet and genuine.
But there are legal, cultural, and often religious ramifications to marriage, overlooking that is purposefully avoiding the point of her statement. The only thing tethering them together is their commitment to their relationship, which holds weight in itself.
As someone who has also chosen not to get married, I think theres a comfort and a sense of added security that you are together because you are both actively choosing it on a daily basis rather than possible insecurity that either party is staying only out of duty, feeling trapped, financial security etc. Getting married with the view that if it doesn't work out you can get divorced (which many hold) seems to negate the statement of commitment that marriage should bring. However I do believe that all relationships, married or not, require daily work.
So true. My hubby and I never walked down the isle of matrimony. He and I were together since I was 18 and he was 25. He passed away August 18, 2020 at 10:05 a.m. in my arms.

Right on Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn.. it's all about loving each other and enjoying life together..I'm happy for both of you..I was with my daughter's father for 30yrs..but some people have it some people don't..Antioch angie
I'd say the reason they never got married is slightly less romantic than what they tell to the world.... But it's their choice and I can only respect and admire they lasted for this long. Not so common these days, especially for celebs
This relationship is so real that Kurt is like a father to Goldie's daughter Kate, she gushes about her dad Kurt, i love their commitment to each other and their extended families.
I remember watching the movie “OverBoard” knowing that they’ve been together for years already and that movie has stayed with me all these years... in fact, I’m gonna go watch it again soon with my love ones
They both lucked out finding one another. Fabulous couple! What works for them may not work for others. I personally think it’s awesome! Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and everlasting love & marriage.
I live in Gravenhurst Ontario its a great tourist area they used to have their son here in the summer for hockey school..they seemed very down to earth. And normal people..
One of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood and the longest lasting relationship I’ve ever seen you can tell that they love and respect eachother so much.
I LOVE these two. A fabulous love relationship. They belong together. Very few people find real love. They make me smile every time I see them. I've been laughing with Darling Goldie since her Laugh In days. She's FUNtastic. AND Kurt well, aaahhhhhhhh. Since his Disney days. Perfect song for them. So glad they found each other!!!😁 🌟💞🌟 A Colorado Mountain Grandma USA 💜✌️🌏🌍🌎🤣
I get what you’re saying and you’re not wrong but I think her point was about the divorce process itself. She mentioned how divorce makes people hate their spouse even more than how they felt before they filed. These things can get nasty. And people may do and say things they wouldn’t originally have. Kids typically get caught in the crossfire of this. When there’s less of a process, less to lose, less uncomfortable court proceedings, less to stir up animosity; cooler heads tend to prevail and there’s more cooperation and that can go a long way toward making the separation easier on kids. It’s not for all situations, of course. It depends on the people involved.
@helvaxh8348 exactly. I've been w my partner for 20 years, never married, but we did split for a year after having kids. Bc we didnt have to divorce, it was very easy and the kids hardly noticed, other than having less stressed parents. Obviously we were both able to remain civil, sane, rational etc which is a big deal regardless of marriage but I honestly think that if we had married and divorced, we wouldn't have ever gotten back together bc it would have been so traumatic, expensive, stressful, scary, life-altering etc. Bc we never married(we were engaged at one point though), we were able to drift apart and then drift back together peacefully and naturally w no court, 3rd party, fighting, financial loss etc. We even bought a property w 2 houses on it so that we could live separately but raise kids together. Eventually we got back together, he moved in w us and his grandma moved into his small house lol
At the end of the day, marriage is just papers, at least for me. They really are like a married couple, the only difference is a paper. The important thing is love❤❤
Well, marriage is very important. Yes, to some it's just paper but for me being married means you and your spouse will become one flesh and don't forget the love.
@@tainteddreams9117do you mean if you and your spouce weren't married you'd forget to love each other??? you really need a sealed marriage to be able to remember why you are together? That's sad, really sad. Goldie and Kurt don't need that,they remember each other everyday without having to check in the drawer for the paper that says they committed to each other, they remember because they still love each other because of the love itself.

A marriage represents a bond. A promise. That means something.
I heard a lot about not wanting more divorces. It sounds like she’s scared of marriage because she doesn’t think they’ll last. So she’s avoiding the divorce by avoiding the marriage.
That doesn’t sound like true love.
True love would be willing to commit. We all know this.
Because she doesn’t think it will last?
Easiest answer is…it’s not necessary. Marriage as defined by law is an economic commitment / legal union and why do either of these individuals need that? If i’m wrong, please show me a law that regulates feelings…which is what likely got them into the relationship.

Except that people walk out of marriages all the time so....
They are committed to
They have a beautiful relationship. My Mommy and Daddy have been married since Mommy was 18 and I believe my Daddy was 20 or 21 and my Mommy is 80 and my Daddy passed away in 2022. Every year we celebrate another year they have been married because in my eyes, they didn't get divorced. I love you both so much Rest In Peace Daddy❤❤❤❤❤
didn’t princess leia say no ones ever really gone.
I don't understand, they divorced? A death loss isn't like a divorce
That was a different generation that doesn’t exist nowadays anymore
That is so amazing and wonderful. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. My husband and I met when we were older, but we are the first marriage/only children for us. So, while we were 25 and 38 when we met, one day I plan on being 80 and 93!
You mean that in your eyes they’re still married despite his death?
I love it! They choose to stay together every day. That’s more romantic than a wedding!
Adultery???
1 You don’t need a wedding to be married.
2 that is what a married couple is supposed to do, they choose to love and to cherish each other every day
@@ginamcdonald7854adultery is when someone cheats in a marriage. They are girlfriend and boyfriend.
@thatsauce882 I didn’t say they were committing adultery! Someone made that comment and I questioned the comment “adultery???”. I’m well aware of the definition of adultery!!!!
@@ginamcdonald7854 okay. I didn't see the comment your were commenting.
Same here 25 years boyfriend n girlfriend, raised 7 children and going strong 👍😁👌
They keep playing “Overboard” on TV lately. It’s the cutest Goldie and Kurt movie ever. ♥️
No theirs is a true commitment of love, honor, loyalty and respect.♥️
They were and remain ADORABLE
They are truly one of my favorite Hollywood couples. It works for them. It isn't for everyone, but they are happy and enjoying their lives.
Blessings to them both-🌺
My all time favorite couple. I've always loved them together. They are a true inspiration! ❤
love these two together ,they just fit
50 years for us ❤❤❤
I loved them in "OVER BOARD" It was so Hilarious!!!❤ Laughter is so Healthy for all of us!😊
They have been a beautiful couple forever, so they are basically married.
Agreed!
Very true, divorcing costs $$$. They're pretty smart! And if not being married works the best for them that's great! ❤
Been married 41 years to the love of my life ! What a wonderful life I have been living . Two beautiful daughters and a great dog!!
Marriage is a give and take you know a two way street bumps along the way but I would not change anything . So blessed for all that I have!!
😊🎉Finally!!❤your love is something I always wanted. Go u two!!❤❤
True love is not a contract......it's a decision ♡
Marriage is a way to protect each other.
@@peggyclause8847protect each other from what exactly? If you need that protection you should not be getting married. Marriage is a business contract that has no place in true love.
Absolutely
Have faith in Jesus alone to be saved.
It IS a decision, every single day, married or not ❤
Nobody needs a piece of paper to defy your Love, if y'all truly love each other y'all stay together with or without paper, the fact y'all did and it's been 40 years is amazing 💕💕 congratulations 💐💐
They're actually so adorable, been together 40 years and still going strong. That's Love❤️
The way those two look at each other says it all. True love, admiration and respect.
If it ain't broke...❤
Exactly 💯
Yup!!!❤
It's not going to be broke because it was never manufactured! They never got married! It's called a broken marriage,not a broken relationship.
@@darnells.1558 you obviously don't understand the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" ffs
@@ceeejay9112they’re probably some 13 year old trying to sound older or interesting in anyway possible. Let them learn the hard way like everyone else.
ALWAYS N FOREVER GOLIE N KURT WISHINGU BOTH THEBEST OF LOVE N HAPPINESS ALWAYS TOGETHER💑👫💘💘💘💘❤💖💖💕💕💜🧡💛💚💙💙💗❣💤💞💕💖💓💓💓💗💗💝💝❤❤
What a smart, adorable couple❣️🪷🐬
There couldn't be two more deserving people of true love and real happiness❣️
Everyone “deserves” true love and real happiness. Your statement is strange.
I personally think that a paper is just a technically that allows one to help the other be the one deciding health issues. The need of having a stable, respectful relationship and the will to choose one another dose not change nor the commitment if there is a particular paper. My partner and I got married to celebrate our LOVE and Commitment to each other, plus it gave each other respectful rights under the law.
The only thing though, is that even if married, if one or the other had debilitating health issues, the courts could step in and appoint a guardian or a conservator. Guardian takes all. Everything.
@@monarene44 That is so sad. I truly don't understand that or why. I know that my husband would appoint my oldest daughter. She is not his blood daughter, but he trust her judgment.
@@crybebebunny I agree it’s sad and one of life’s sad ironies. It’s important to have estate planning papers in place: will, durable power of attorney, health care surrogate, and advanced directives. This all by itself can prevent minimize the risk of a guardian taking over.
@@monarene44 Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge❣️
@@monarene44that's not really true. A guardian cannot rob a spouse of their marriage rights.
Reminds me so much of my mom and “step-dad” aka her boyfriend of 10 years and counting. They got together at age 55 after each being married to their exes for 25 years. They don’t live together (not until they’re too old to be apart safely) and they won’t be getting married. I think that kind of love is so sweet and genuine.
I love these two. Both brilliant actors
Goldie is the cutest girl from that time. I love them both, my childhood movie heroes ❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love Kurt and Goldie …true love right there ❤️
I love these two. I feel you don’t need a wedding or a piece of paper to prove how committed you are to someone you love. Love is Love ❤️
Their chemistry was undeniable in Overboard; still a super fun Rom-Com
In a marriage you can also choose to stay...
Thank you! I was looking for the comment. That part made no sense to me. Marriage doesn't stop or hinder you from "choosing" to stay together.
But there are legal, cultural, and often religious ramifications to marriage, overlooking that is purposefully avoiding the point of her statement. The only thing tethering them together is their commitment to their relationship, which holds weight in itself.
The whole thing was answering the question “why to not get divorced” not “why not get married.”
As someone who has also chosen not to get married, I think theres a comfort and a sense of added security that you are together because you are both actively choosing it on a daily basis rather than possible insecurity that either party is staying only out of duty, feeling trapped, financial security etc. Getting married with the view that if it doesn't work out you can get divorced (which many hold) seems to negate the statement of commitment that marriage should bring.
However I do believe that all relationships, married or not, require daily work.
So ? They seem pretty committed to each other so who cares if theyre married or not
I loved Overboard 🤣🤣🤣 he named her "Annie". They look happy ❤
Yea Love That Movie too 😂😂 They do belong together ❤❤
So true. My hubby and I never walked down the isle of matrimony. He and I were together since I was 18 and he was 25. He passed away August 18, 2020 at 10:05 a.m. in my arms. And I will never love anyone else... because we have an EVER LASTING LOVE ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know tons of couples their age that never married for similar reasons! I find it beautiful.
Right on Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn.. it's all about loving each other and enjoying life together..I'm happy for both of you..I was with my daughter's father for 30yrs..but some people have it some people don't..Antioch angie
They are great together. I remember her saying something like, sure, I'll take a ring, but a wedding isn't necessary. And they have great kids.
Some times a piece of paper can't hold it together. Happy for you both. Your still a beautiful couple. Many more to come. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
2 OF MY FAVORITE STARS. KURT FOR "THE THING" GOLDIE FOR BEING GOLDIE.
Best decision ever , a piece of paper is not love it’s a contract .
Verbal or written, they still have a contract with each other.
I'd say the reason they never got married is slightly less romantic than what they tell to the world.... But it's their choice and I can only respect and admire they lasted for this long. Not so common these days, especially for celebs
Adorable couple. So lucky to have found each other. ♥️🌹
They got it down!! This is a genuine relationship built on love, loyalty and respect.
Great couple and the power of love
This relationship is so real that Kurt is like a father to Goldie's daughter Kate, she gushes about her dad Kurt, i love their commitment to each other and their extended families.
I remember watching the movie “OverBoard” knowing that they’ve been together for years already and that movie has stayed with me all these years... in fact, I’m gonna go watch it again soon with my love ones
Hope springs eternal. Thankyou both for loving each other so wonderfully that HOPE flowed out and smacked us in the HEART!
They both lucked out finding one another. Fabulous couple! What works for them may not work for others. I personally think it’s awesome! Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and everlasting love & marriage.
They're priceless & share their endless & eternal love together!! So special!!
They've always looked like such a loving couple. Happy for both of them. :)
I live in Gravenhurst Ontario its a great tourist area they used to have their son here in the summer for hockey school..they seemed very down to earth. And normal people..
Yes I like the fact that they stayed together because of them and not because of money, or legal papers ❤
Divorces hurt children the same as when the couple part after years of marriage.
Yeah,and car wrecks hurt your insurance premiums after years of driving but you still get your license to drive!
Not sure what that means 🎉
Did you mean to use marriage at the end? It would make more sense if you said "after years of a relationship"
Love these two. Live your life how you want not what others expect. Go Goldie and Kurt ❤
They have amazing chemistry🔥🔥🔥
The true meaning of “if we aren’t married, we can’t get divorced.”
Yep. Love is a choice.
One of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood and the longest lasting relationship I’ve ever seen you can tell that they love and respect eachother so much.
We should each be so fortunate to have an everlasting love. It's the souls that bind, not the paper.
Love them together for so long. He, a great actor; and she, a great actress.
I LOVE these two. A fabulous love relationship. They belong together. Very few people find real love. They make me smile every time I see them. I've been laughing with Darling Goldie since her Laugh In days. She's FUNtastic. AND Kurt well, aaahhhhhhhh. Since his Disney days. Perfect song for them. So glad they found each other!!!😁 🌟💞🌟

Even if you weren’t married and split, it’d STILL hurt the kids! This reason sounds more like a reason to not marry AND not have kids!
They've been married before so there's no point to getting married
No, divorce can exacerbate the split
I get what you’re saying and you’re not wrong but I think her point was about the divorce process itself.
She mentioned how divorce makes people hate their spouse even more than how they felt before they filed. These things can get nasty. And people may do and say things they wouldn’t originally have. Kids typically get caught in the crossfire of this. When there’s less of a process, less to lose, less uncomfortable court proceedings, less to stir up animosity; cooler heads tend to prevail and there’s more cooperation and that can go a long way toward making the separation easier on kids. It’s not for all situations, of course. It depends on the people involved.
Sure but it will cost WAYY less money and the split can be quicker and seamless than divorce which can literally take years to settle
@helvaxh8348 exactly. I've been w my partner for 20 years, never married, but we did split for a year after having kids. Bc we didnt have to divorce, it was very easy and the kids hardly noticed, other than having less stressed parents. Obviously we were both able to remain civil, sane, rational etc which is a big deal regardless of marriage but I honestly think that if we had married and divorced, we wouldn't have ever gotten back together bc it would have been so traumatic, expensive, stressful, scary, life-altering etc. Bc we never married(we were engaged at one point though), we were able to drift apart and then drift back together peacefully and naturally w no court, 3rd party, fighting, financial loss etc. We even bought a property w 2 houses on it so that we could live separately but raise kids together. Eventually we got back together, he moved in w us and his grandma moved into his small house lol
She looks so much better now then she did back then! She looks great!
We've been married for 40 yrs and we feel the same you do unmarried.
Blesses to you both! ❣️
Both are in love truly,handsome and beautiful. Happy holywood couple ..❤❤
That's Love and Respect ❤❤❤❤
They just show us that we all don't need a piece of paper to be kept happy. A forever lasting Love I must say. 💜🙏🇱🇷🤠
Everyday knowing you continuing to choose each other 🙂 thats a really sweet perspective
At the end of the day, marriage is just papers, at least for me. They really are like a married couple, the only difference is a paper. The important thing is love❤❤
Well, marriage is very important. Yes, to some it's just paper but for me being married means you and your spouse will become one flesh and don't forget the love.
Dollar bills are just paper 🤷♂️
@@tainteddreams9117do you mean if you and your spouce weren't married you'd forget to love each other??? you really need a sealed marriage to be able to remember why you are together? That's sad, really sad. Goldie and Kurt don't need that,they remember each other everyday without having to check in the drawer for the paper that says they committed to each other, they remember because they still love each other because of the love itself.

I first saw Goldy Hawnon another (I feel anyway)ahead of its time tv show called "Rowan N.Martins LAUGH-IN". Itwas still is sensational.
