When couples can't agree on marriage after years together

My partner and I are both in our forties and have been together for six years, but lately we keep having the same circular argument about marriage — they want it and I'm not sure I ever will, and we can't seem to find any middle ground that doesn't leave one of us feeling like we're compromising who we are.
