Your choice of wording is odd, like "problem", and "better." I am 30 years old. I have been with my partner for 15 years, and we have an 8 and a 6 year old child together. We live together in our 4 bedroom home. Yes, we are black. No, there is no struggle associated with us being unmarried.

Congratulations on 15 years together.

In the US, there are legal and financial advantages to marrying your partner. It sounds like you're in it for the long haul so it's worth thinking about. Have a chat about it with your lawyer or accountant, they'll make the case much better than I can.
