not a woman but, i am a man looking for a relationship which ultimately lead to marriage without children.
Maybe i am the weird one out there, want marriage, but no children. want no children yet want to get married.
I am just the kind who doesn't like to do things without a goal. If remain bf/gf forever without any kind of knot? Nah, not my thing.
I'm on the same boat, just that 1) I'm speaking on ladies' perspective 2) I'm still undecided on childbearing. Also, I see this more practically/realistically: the knot has legal meanings/benefits.Maybe i am the weird one out there, want marriage, but no children. want no children yet want to get married.

In case of your departure, you want your partner to be able to move on with their life without you physically, but still have your support - being married allows automatic inheritance, it saves your spouse the trouble to claim and whatnot. Also, there's group insurance benefits offered by companies (assuming you work in one with such benefits). There are many things you can enjoy as a legal couple.
Above all, I also agree with you that commitment, loyalty, responsibilities all that do not come AFTER marriage. It automatically comes as you progress deeper into your relationship where you start considering your other half a "family". Their problems become yours and likewise.
