The people in my circles tend to value people who stick around out of desire to help eachother than from some vow or perceived obligation because you’re married or whatever.

Maybe this is a cultural or generation difference, but I do not expect my partner to stick around because of some vow, I except my partner to stick around because of love. If the day comes when that love is gone, I would not want my partner to live with me. Marriage is out of love, not need, for me at least.

Bluntly, I don’t see how a legal document could make what we already have any better than it already is.

I see it as way for me tell my partner how much I am willing to commit, to say that "I REALLY want to be with you". Call it a proof of our love, if you will. Another way to express our love.
