If the laws were tweaked a little so that both gay and lesbian commitment services/weddings/taking of vows were legally recognised, then perhaps there might be more incentive to take a life partner.... if you are not going to be recognised as a couple committed, then why make the bother of acting like one. I know some do, but I know several others who don't. They do it for different sex couples who choose to live as partners without the certification, why can't it be so for same sex?
