"I wanted to know he felt I was worthy of being his missus, but I didn't want the sacrifices, the compromises, the day-in-day-out commitment required to make a marriage work. My life with the show was my priority, and we both knew it. He and I agree that had we tied the marital knot, we would not still be together," Winfrey said in the February issue of the O magazine (Oprah Winfrey Magazine).

On Wednesday, Rian van Heerden asked if "it is still necessary to get married?" 

Our listeners weighed in on the conversation - and this is what they had to say.
