They are in love and think they can buck the odds...also, there are (legal) advantages to marriage that dating or living together doesn't offer.
Married people pay lower taxes.
Married people have each other's work insurance benefits to consider.
Married people inherit their spouses "estate" when they die.
Considerations for children.
And the list could go on...
Non married couples basically have the benefit of companionship (which married people also have) and an easier out if they decide to part ways.

Because there always has been and will be exceptions to everything in life. Besides a good challenge beating the odds as an underdog is a great confidence builder

Beats me if you would have asked me that five years ago I would have given you a long list of things but now I just stick it out

That's just like saying consider the fact that you'll die, why do you live!!!!
Marriage and life are both leaps of fate!
