100% the easiest way to find out what a man is really about is to look at how he treats the most important relationships in his life; the one with his wife and kids.

No offense Rob, but this is a pretty narrow view of the world. I accept that it is the way you see things, but some people can have commitments without a marriage and kids.
Many people get married because they feel "incomplete" or are looking for a "soul mate" or companionship. There is nothing inherently wrong with that...maybe. I know plenty of people who are married because they are afraid/unable to be alone. I was one of those. They manage to convince themselves that it is the "right" thing to do, and perhaps the only thing to do.
I know many "shacked up" people who are in fact winners. And there isn't any whining going on about a ring, etc. Not everyone has bought into that social convention. And I know plenty of people who are single and perfectly happy - and in fact are totally committed to other things in their lives. In fact there might be a few clergy out there who aren't married and know something about commitment...
