You want commitment, but you hate commitment. Is what I see you're saying there. You want marriage, but you don't want marriage. We already have words for those things, but because of the negative connotations, you reject the word.
"I think the 'commitment', the 'promising' the 'marriage' is trivial and superficial compared to the actual feelings and love...to actually caring about your partner."
They just happen to be what we call love borne out.
"But I think if two people can show their love without having to ATTACH things like 'commitment', 'marriage', etc, - then I think that's a mark of true, natural and free love..."
I call it denial.
