I don't believe that a married couple is any more legitimate, committed, or loving than any other long-term couple who doesn't want to get married, CMV.

I think marriage is kind of BS, obviously it's beneficial b/c of tax breaks and benefits, but I don't think it will change the way I feel about my SO.

it's like how certain cultures have a ritual of adulthood. it represents a passage from one phase to another. it is up to the person to feel a change or not. but to many, such a ritual can effect their view. "i'm married now, i have to be more dedicated"  or "i'm a man now, i have to act like one" etc. it might not be that way with you but it does have an effect on many.
