I'm happily married k? I feel free to be myself because I have a person that loves me so much that they placed trust in me in the form of commitment. They said you're the one for me, let's live life from now on as a unit. I can say I'll love my wife till I die and trust her completely in every way.
In a partnership without commitment (notice I don't mention marriage.. marriage may be meaningless ritual. It wasn't to me. Commitment in a partnership is equally valid IMO) I would feel that the other person doesn't trust me. They can't trust me enough to take the relationship to the next level, to make it solid. Something to build on.
BTW Did you know nearly all people living together state a desire to marry?
