What do you mean by committed? If a couple is really committed why would they be against getting married? If they're committed then they've made a commitment which sounds a lot like marriage.
This whole discussion has been about marriage vs. non-marriage. But there are many kinds of marriage, including civil, common-law, in the religious institution of your choice and, probably, many others. A committed union could well become a common-law marriage, depending on the rules in your jurisdiction. I've known couples to have triple marriages: a civil marriage, a Buddhist marriage and a Protestant Christian marriage, to make sure all bases were covered. But their marriages might not be recognized in other countries.
