Is marriage outdated?

Marriage is not outdated, I think people realise it's a big commitment and they want to be sure they can fulfil the responsibilities before tying the knot. That's why a lot of people prefer to live together as partners for some time to see if they get along well and if they don't, there's less pressure on them to move on and find a better companion.

This said, I'm old school and believe love should be followed by marriage to seal the deal :)
