If couples feels the obligation to each other then why marry?
I mean why do people vow by ceremonies for commitment. I think it not necessary if they really mean it, what's your idea?
I believe we have one body and one life and obligation forced by law and religion is just not working. your idea?
Marriage nowadays seems like an institution in which both parties has their own benefits, of course a wide definition for benefits( including children , properties, finance, etc) so where is the sacred part that people are talking about?

I agree that marriage changes nothing in a relationship that is already committed and strong. However, in society now, a legal commitment is needed for many things that might arise in the relationship. If your spouse ends up in the hospital or dies, you have no legal rights over their funeral, medical care, of belongings. You also have no security or protection from the house you shared being taken away or a car that you might both drive but belonged to your spouse.
My husband and I have an amazing relationship, but we did get married because we wanted to protect each other and ourselves, should something bad happen.
Also, if you have children, it can be complicated legally if the parents are not married. Many times problems can arise with schools and even parents of the child's playmates just not understanding the situation. It would be better for your children if you had a legally recognized relationship.

I don't believe marriage ceremonies are meant to be done out of obligation. They are a celebration of two people's love. If you enter into it as a forced obligation, then you are not entering into it in the right spirit.

How is the "obligation" forced? You decide whether or not to marry. Law and religion don't force you to marry the person you love.

Because its a choice that people make. Regardless of what you think about it or anyone else. Everyone has the right to marry or not marry as a personal choice. Its no ones place to judge their choice.

to each their own.
some need the formality of it all.
others have been burned by it and never want see any paperwork in regards to commitment again.
just depends on the individuals involved, how they deal with mature love and take responsibility within a relationship.

I understand what your saying. I was with my husband for 9 years before we married....we felt married already. BUT...since we finally did tie the knot, it has given us a new strength in our relationship and made us even closer. I recommend it.
