In my experience, some of the couples of 6+ years who still aren't engaged are thinking about the impact being married has on their identities. You can avoid having friends and colleagues think of you as someone's wife by just waiting a while to tie the knot. This seems like a bigger deal for women.

They said marriage was "too bourgeois" but has anybody ever been more bourgeois than François Hollande?

Also, if you’re a couple, say, in your 30’s, and neither wants kids, getting married just might not be that important.
