Anti marriage
Watching reality TV tonight we came across 2 similar, typical stories. They go like this:
1. Guy and girl are attracted to each other.
2. They more in together.
3. She wants to get married.
4. He doesn't.
5. He gets his way.
6. She doesn't.
7. It remains an area of contention for years.
I am glad to have a man who, by his actions, told me I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I will make a legal and spiritually binding commitment to demonstrate this to you.
I cant' imagine living with a guy, being sexually involved with someone, who so easily dismisses that desire for a woman to be cherished, upheld, honored.
And what of guys? Why is it that so many of them do not want to get married? What is the fear?

It's not just guys who don't want to get married. It was Mae West who said, "Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet."
True, it's not just guys. My impression is, though, that it's more often women who want to get married and guys who prefer to live together forever. I base this only on anecdote, though, so it is possible my impression is wrong.
