Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy will not marry

In a recent interview, Jim Carrey said great things about his current girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, but he said that they will never marry. There are other famous Hollywood couples that are doing the same. Oprah and Stedman Graham, Brangelina, and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Stars like Geri Halliwell have even given up hope of finding love again. And of course, there are millions of couples that are living together before marriage and even becoming parents.

This is understandable considering the high rate of divorce and all the legal and emotional complications that result from it. And it is not just couples who have been married before; even couples who are with their highschool sweethearts are finding that if they don't get married, they won't have to deal with divorce.

Jim Carrey has been married twice before to Lauren Holly and Melissa Womer, while Jenny McCarthy was married to John Asher.

What should you do?

My recommendation is that do what works for you. In any case, a wedding is only for entertainment purposes now, and the major benefit of marriage may simply be the tax breaks, if any. Otherwise, you don't have to be married to enjoy "marital bliss" as long as you are in a monogamous relationship, though some couples find happiness even in polyamorous or open relationships.
