One point is some people don't want to have sex outside marriage for religious reasons
Another reason is that the statistics on living together and then marrying are low so people who want to marry eventually are reluctant to give up themselves and clean for the other person for nothing down the road.
Another is that taxes for a married person are cheaper.
Another reason is people will work harder at a relationship in marriage because walking away isn't easy.
Finally some people find exactly what they want in a person and want to seal the deal before they get away.

The point is the commitment you are giving each other.
You no longer look at life through your eyes only. With marriage you are as one. Without marriage there is no commitment and you are free to move on at any time. This may keep the relationship active longer but only because of the uncertainty of it.
While living together for a time is perhaps good....so that you truly get to know the other person.....marriage is a must before starting a family. If you have a family outside of marriage what do you really have? A partner that can move on at any time with no commitment. And who is the true looser then?

What the point of living together if you can just get married? What's the point of getting a job and working when you can steal? What's the point of playing fair when you can cheat? What's the point of the legal system when you can just kill someone that wronged you. What's the point of being faithful to your spouse when you can commit adultery? Shall I continue?

It's about commitment and showing your family and friends your intentions of staying with each other for years to come. It also shows your partner that you are willing to say they are the only ones.
