I was waiting for Kyu to step in here but I guess I'll just have to chip in... 
Commitment is very important. Love is more than the fleeting feeling and rush of a new relationship. That rush is the natural attraction that draws people together. IMO you're not meant to crave that rush forever. It serves it's purpose in that initial phase.
I appreciate where you're coming from though Evie. I used to struggle with the same questions and reasoning. Are we like Whales and built to have one life partner, or polygamous like those lucky Mormons.
Then you start thinking like it's natural for blokes because blokes produce sperm till late in life.
I've grown to hate anti commitment. It's incredibly selfish I think. It's also a blokes dream, and abusive to women, even if women aren't unanimous in condemnation of it, I personally hold that it's a blokes dream to be a kid forever and have no commitment.
The natural process of mating: the strong desires, the total absorption of another person. Leads to the purpose: reproduction.
The anti commitment bollocks breaks all that and goes anti evolution IMO. People think broken families is fine for kids, when the evidence shows the opposite.
I'm not advocating religion, just natural law. Anti commitment may be another evil perpetrated by religion.
Oh and congratulations Kyu! (Y)
