I've never considered marriage something for me. Even if I were seeing someone - which I'm not, I think marriage is an artificial happening, done to please the outside world. Sure enough, if you like all the ceremony surrounding marriages, it may be for you, but I never got the whole idea about getting some official paper that states that two people love each other. If it's about the legal paperwork, there are a bunch of other ways to accomplish the same and that being said, I for one am very happy that same sex people can legally marry in some (but not yet enough) countries.
If you want to get married, do so... but a lot of people also break up and then end up with a divorce lawyer. Who knows, maybe you have been considering the option of divorce, maybe you even looked up Divorce Lawyers online yet. All I'm saying is that you are prepared to tie the knot as they say, and you've put a lot of preparation and effort into that, you have to be realistic and take into calculation that the same knot may need untying someday in the future.
I've been in a long relationship before, and while we were not married, we were living together and then we split up. How do these things happen? Apart from some paperwork, there were no problems between the two of us, and truth be said : I often don't understand that two people can give each other such a hard time, but maybe I just have a too positive look on things.
If you're looking at a complicated situation, and you want to unravel the closely knitted fabric that both of you been working on for years, you don't just take scissors and start cutting. A lawyer that specializes in divorces may be a good source of information and help along the way. Don't use them to hurt the other party though, revenge may be a sweet dish - at least that's what's being said - but you never know who gets the bigger portion during the final serving.
