Is marriage the only way to prove your commitment?

The idea that you have to be legally bound to a person is becoming less popular. Is it because we view the girlfriend/boyfriend dynamic as less of a commitment? Is it just easier to be with someone for years and years without getting married and when things go bad, it's just another breakup, or do you take the leap, get married and face the possibility of divorce? Is marriage still a relevant concept in 2021?
