They don't have to. It really is just a legal/religious thing. You can choose to partake in the states/your faith's affairs, or not. It bares no relevance to your emotional commitment to a relationship. People who love each other get married all the time. People who want to get married for other reasons, get married all the time. Society needs a benchmark, legally speaking. That is it. Unfortunately we have not reached the point where the benchmark is accessable for all.
