My thoughts on marriage is that establishing and maintaining a healthy relationship is difficult enough without the obligation of the ring keeping two unhappy people together.
I know from first-hand experience that you can still stick with an unhappy arrangement for an unhealthy amount of time with or without a ring, but at least you don't get slapped with a stigma of failure.
