God Made us Couples from the very beginning, thus its much better to have a spouse, rather than living alone, that said, I will try to answer the question without in my personal and very own prospective:
Living together is fun, hence no responsibilities or demands from both parties that can torture the relationship, but after quite some time, life is going to get a little complicated and one day or another you will be forced to take your SHARE, at least to feel normal human being, and then eventually it will turn into marriage.
BUT, God, differentiated us from animals, with this secret relation (Marriage), and he has a plan for it, that's why I guess we should be bonded together in front of him in holy matronly will very much STABILIZE life and will wash your fears away.
Giving a great feel of security, and peace of mind.
Imagine you grow old with someone, and suddenly after emotions are less vigorous, than the first months, he/she decided to LEAVE this Partnership for whatever reason.
Only then it will be very easy for him/her to do it without any obligation
and on the fly.
END RESULT: you will fell very much deceived, you will feel greatly that this is unfair, but you will not be able to do a thing except some talking.
Otherwise in Marriage, things are different as I mentioned earlier, you will enjoy peace of mind, future (Long-Term) Mutual planning, HOLY Matronly, and will be blessed from God, and he will lead the way.
