Committed to what? And why do you assume that commitment is an eternal
state, unchanging regardless or new information, new and unforeseen
personal and social changes, environmental, governmental, financial,
health changes?
Because of the part that goes "until death us do part". If you think of
this physical life as eternity, then yes, marital commitment should be
an "eternal state, unchanging regardless" of sickness or health, richer
or poorer, good times or bad, etc. Although, in regard to governmental
changes, I seem to recall that there was a period in history somewhere
where marriage was banned. What did the Christians do? They paralleled
marriage as closely as they could without it being officially that which
was banned.
Is their relationship a secret?

Depends on who's asking. And why.
In the setting I just mentioned, I think that was their feeling too.
