If you don't 'get' what the point of marriage is, then most likely, no one will be able to make you 'get' it either. Because, frankly, most of these 'reasons' are based on emotional factors than having a solid logical basis to them.
Personally, I like the concept of marriage. If I ever wish to settle down with a person, I'd get married as soon as possible. People may wish to ridicule my choice, call me or my view on life 'outdated', but that's just the way I prefer it.
That said, marriage is not the start and end of life. Neither is divorce the end of the world - it's just the beginning of a new life. I see no problems with healthy and committed live-in relationships either.
