Some people like the commitment of marriage and see it as a foundation for a family. A serious relationship usually precedes a marriage but doesn't necessary evolve into one if both partners are happy with the status quo.

Marriage is: A covenant between a man and a woman before God! Serious Relationship is: A relationship that is serious with/or without a development of a marriage. I view marriage and (serious)relationship totally different from other people. I was raised differently, and my thoughts about the situation can be contradicting; but not to me. :)

A marriage is a serious relashionship gone more serious:) with both parties willing to share legal and societal and financial consequences...and sometimes a solemn vow before God...I think it's the ultimate "Put your money where your mouth is" in more ways than one.

Legal paper that is about the only difference, you can still marry one another in the eyes of god without all the paperwork, just means you cant file jointly and if you do leave each other it is usually alot easier. There is such a thing as common law marriage though, not all states have this btw.
