marriage is legally binding. it is not the "piece of paper" that matters (good, lord, I have no idea where my certificate is) and it's not for "old times sake", though tradition Can be a good reason to do things.
There are two ways to look at it imho:
1. it's helpful to a civilized society to have people committed to each other
2. it's a romantic ideal -- people actually do "fall in love" and marriage simply is a logical union of those folks.Am i making sense?
