Marriage shows maturity. That you are willing to promise yourself unconditionally to another person because you love them that much. It takes a big person to enter into a an infinite union. I don't think that people who live together love each other any less than those who have gotten married, but I think marriage is just one more step up the ladder. No one ever said making a commitment is easy, but keep in mind how it's much easier to walk away when you aren't legally binding. Commitment is everything when you're thinking long-term.
