People aren't against marriage. People are scared of the legal ramifications of a failed marriage. Before the gov't came in and decided it was their job to decide how people are to obligate themselves to each other I'll wager things weren't so bad.
The ring is a tangible indicator of that.
Also, getting married always changes the nature of the relationship. Just not necessarily negatively. Sometimes it can cement a bond even further.
