IS MARRIAGE for everyone? What's the next step after dating for 5 years, 7 years? For whom is the marriage for? What is the intention of getting married? For the woman to have security, for the man to  claim legality, for the parents and their religiosity or for tradition and social construct who dictates that marriage is decency, otherwise you're indecent, an outcast. 

In modern times today, some couples CHOOSE NOT to get married. How did this new norm come about, how does this arrangement feel like for the woman who bears the child and for the man who has to support the child. Is not being married but living as a family the new norm of most couples in modern times.   Well, people change, and the person you married 15 years ago most likely is not the same person now. 

What if you dont like to be with that person anymore? And in the Philippines, there's no Divorce.  How would you know if marriage is for you or not?
