I'm not sure that what is hard to get out of is really the institution of marriage. In fact, it's easy as well.
Where it's "hard to get out" is all the intricacies of a partnership built to last, with children, house, professional orientation etc. But this is not dependent on a formal marriage. You have essentially the same intricacies if you are not married but do have the same projects. You get intricacies with whatever bigger undertaking, making an education, buying a house, a car, furniture etc. That's unavoidable if you want to reach bigger goals.
I also would consider that most satisfying. And because of that one should never stop someone that wants to leave.
OMG, yeah. But this is not how it works. Habit, laziness and investment (of life time, emotions and money) are other important factors that will keep you together - if you stay together. Precautionary: nothing of this does mean that you must feel uncomfortable.
