It's about being able to make a lifelong commitment. Nobody is forced into it. It's chosen. It's saying you love someone and trust them completely and enough that you want to be committed to them for life because you know they'll do the same for you. It's about family and creating something bigger than yourself. Some people choose to have more shallow relationships with no commitment. That's a choice too. No relationship is deeper than a good marriage because it's the only lifelong one that is chosen by your own free will. There's no bailing out in a good marriage. It's something that you build for life. It can be tougher, but ultimately it can be the greatest thing in life.
