A marriage *is* a commitment.
No, a marriage is an ungainly amalgamation of a contract and a religious
ceremony entered into for various reasons. Commitment to partner is
simply one of the many reasons (and, sadly, often not the most important
one); this is part of the reason for the high divorce rate.
If some guy told our daughters that they were committed but "didn't
believe in marriage" we both know that's a bunch of crap
You have a profoundly narrow view of human social interaction.
Of the people I know who ever identify as committed but not married, a
quick count on my fingers places the separation rate at 12%.
Whereas the separation rate amongst my married friends sits just above 50%.
Funnily enough, the people who actively choose to be with their partner
every day seem to do better than those who are merely married. Go figure.
