The unemotional answer is that Meridith Wilson wrote "The Music Man" as a family show in the 1950s. As such, the only ending for such a show was a happy one, and the only way to have a happy ending was to have Harold Hill stay with Marian.
The emotional answer is a bit more complicated (of course)...
At first, Hill had every intention of treating River City, Iowa, as just another of his conquests -- and likely Marian as just another of his "girls left behind." However, Marian is almost certainly smarter than the girls Hill has "befriended" in the past, and in her he sees something that he realizes is missing from his life. Thus, he does not take the next train, choosing to remain in River City even though he knows this means he'll be discovered as a musical charlatan.
In fact, a better question would be, "Why didn't Marian leave Hill?" Once she realizes who he really is, and what his plans were, she would have every right to turn her back on him forever. But she doesn't. In both cases (Hill's love for her, and her love for him), "The Music Man" shows that love, even 1950s-era quaint love, is powerful stuff.
