Anyone know of good writing with growth-oriented arguments for marriage or long-term romantic commitments? Mostly I find stability arguments, or reactions against monogamy (uninteresting), or people taking the goodness of committed LTRs/marriage for granted.

commitment is evidenced by sacrifice but after a while it doesn’t feel like sacrifice to “forsake all others”

It definitely aligns incentives for the relationship as a whole. If my base understanding is that we are staying together, everything builds off of that as opposed to it being one of the branches. It also incentives long term over short term actions.

Yeah, as far as I can tell one of the major benefits to committing to a long term relationship is that both of you expect the relationship to continue indefinitely, which likely makes it more stable. So it's a virtuous cycle thing.
