From my perspective:

PROS
Depends on the country or state, but certain legal rights and benefits a couple might not have otherwise.

In some places it means the right to see your own partner at the hospital. In other places is just the option to do your taxes together if it benefit you more than split. In certain situations it can mean that your job recognizes or not you are in a relationship and gives you free days in case something happen to your partner or a very close family member of your partner.

CONS
Laws and paperwork that might become a tedious problem in case the marriage is unsustainable and you want divorce.

SOME PERSONAL THOUGHTS
Some people may say as a pro that it means several years of affection an sex. However marriage isn't necessary to get that, therefore is not a benefit of marriage but of committed relationships. There are people who stay together 10 years or 20 without marriage. Anything that you relate to marriage but you could actually have it without marriage, is not really a benefit of marriage. Same for the cons. You can be unmarried in a commited relationship for 15 years under the same roof and you'd experiments same problems as any married couple, from arguments to finantial stress.

The only strict difference between married or not in commited relationships is laws.

Oh, and I didn't thought about religious marriages. In those cases the pro is having a blessing of a God, Goddess, Gods or entity you believe in, and the blessing of the religious community. The cons usually is that religions normally look down on divorce, so in case the relationship go wrong they'll have to work on the relationship seriously, or do nothing and stay in a bad marriage, or divorce risking to be bad considered by the religious community.
