Well do you mean as in wedding?
No the party it's optional
But marriage it is important (well for me)
Some people just get married but no have a wedding

Um...I guess marriage is a way of putting it out there that you have a good stable relationship and plan on being together for the rest of your lifes or marriage. But I guess it all depends on you.?
Nope, despite improvements recently (same-sex marriage etc.) I don't see marriage as a good thing at all, it's based on a religious institution that favours heteronormative relationship roles and has been discriminatory to many different groups of people throughout history. If people are happy together, they should not have to marry to prove that, or get couples/marriage benefits, many people just marry for the benifits now, and that shouldn't be needed.
People being in a relationship, specially long term, should have all the same benefits as being married. Being married doesn't mean you love your partner more than if you were not married, it's just tradition now.
I personally don't know if I'd ever marry, but I don't place a massive importance on it.
Edit: it's completely okay if you think marriage is important and strive to be married, I just don't.

I think that depends on both people's personal preferences. It's all about being unified, and if marriage is something that you both think will make you more unified then they should. If they think they are fine the way they are, then that's fine, too. However, a lot of people do use marriage for the benefits: taxes, hospital care, etc.
In some countries, being married has some advantages, so that might be a reason a couple will choose to get married. It would be up to the people in the relationship to decide together wether or not they want to get married. However, Marriage shouldn't be some sort of quality label on your relationship as a lot of people see it nowadays. Whether or not somebody wants to/is married says absolutely nothing meaningful about that person's relationship regarding trust, quality or anything like that.

It's actually so unimportant it's ridiculous.
It's made out to be way more of a big deal than it actually is. You can celebrate your love for your partner in so many different ways without bringing the law and religion into it.
Honestly the only pros to me is that you get to wear nice outfits, have a big giant cake, and you'll have infinite blenders.

I mean... I've been with my partner for a while and we have a child together. It's not like I still want to keep my options open, but I definitely don't feel the need to have a piece of paper, expensive ceremony, and a ring just to be together. Though we have discussed it on multiple occasions and it's something we both would like to do eventually. Knowing that is enough to keep me 100% satisfied. Nothing would change if we got married. There are certain financial and social benefits to it, but those can wait because it's a huge commitment. I would, however, really love to have an engagement ring as a visual cue that I'm taken and commited.

Depending on where you live, being married can mean not only tax breaks but also hospital visitation to automatically being their beneficiary on their bank accounts. So there are some perks to it.

eh, not really. i'm not totally against marriage, i just don't see much of a point in it, and it kinda annoys me how people seem to hail marriage as being a necessary stepping stone in a relationship that magically makes all relationship problems disappear and act like any relationships that don't get married aren't serious.
but that's just my 2 cents.

Marriage is a solidifying bond between two people. I guess it's there for the idea that you're stuck with the other person "through sickness and health" until one of the two dies. I'm not quite sure why it's so revered, considering there isn't anything special with marriage that a normal couple can't have. I guess it's frowned upon to have children when you aren't married. I've never seen two people who weren't married raise a child (correct me if I'm wrong). I suppose it's a milestone. You either want it or you don't. It's like the build-up of a relationship.
honestly, a piece of paper wont make me love anyone more, and a lack of the paper wont make me love them less.
as far as tradition goes, its nice to have a record that would outlive us, showing the world that we once were. its very sweet in that sense. is it necessary? nah, of course not. its just nice.
