What will marriage change? Are you not happy with the relationship?
Although I love being married and I know to many people it is a spiritual connection, a show of commitment, really, in the end it's just a piece of paper.
Yes, if you aren't married then you don't have as many rights as a married couple do. Seeing as you have a child together it's definitely something that should be taken into consideration, but, it sounds like he's scared to go down that road again.
Talk to him about it, express why you feel the need to take this next step. Ask him why he's so reluctant to marry you.
Only he has the answers to the questions you have.
I hope it works out for you.
