I agree. I think the promise is important. The commitment to each other. I hate the idea of relationships that don't have that. At any moment either partner can walk out.. it doesn't support 'family'. I had a mate who always used to say marriage is about babies. I didn't like that at the time but I see the sense of it now. If your intention is to make that sort of relationship then commitments are very important. It follows on into your future together.
This is what marriage should be about IMO. Luckily my marriage started like that.
