No. Faith, love and trust..they are the "result" of communication, truthfulness, empathy and the ability to bear routine duties.
Think about the good times, how you fell in love, the sweet things you did for each other..
Can you find another person whom you feel as comfortable as when you are with your spouse? Even so, with your spouse:
You don't have to pretend.
Even sitting silently for hours, there won't be a moment of awkwardness.
There's someone taking care of you when you're sick.
Even without words, you already know what the other is thinking.
Is it worth it to give all these up for a moment of pleasure? But we can't resist. It's in our nature to crave for fluttering of hearts, a moment of ecstasy, ephemeral pleasure.
We want understanding, we want love, we want comfort. But it takes work, routine work and reminder.
But, what will I know? I'm single and I plan to stay that way.

No way. Love is great. Faith is wonderful. In order to hold a marriage together it takes a great deal of communication, trust, often a common set of ideals, and a lot of work.
The outside demons that interfere daily are going to be present in most marriages. Intrusive relatives, money issues, neighbors, whatever all can present problems. You have to work out how to handle each of them together. The working it out part is the important one. Working together means that you grow together.
Of course, if the demons are drugs, acohol, addictions, etc, then it is going to take even more work, as then the demon is within. At that point, detox, counseling, and a lot of support are also needed.
Good luck.

when you don't give way to those demons to come between u, this way only will it be enough to hold the marriage... faith is a very important factor and love as well but it has to be from both parties. shower each other with love and have faith in each other and don't let anyone affect that

YES you better believe it! Demons only win when you give up on faith and love.....HOWEVER both persons in the marriage must be willing to fight a good fight against the evil forces and demons....
I recommend you try out kabbalah

what kind of demons? somewhere along the line bad choices are being made by someone and if thats the case then no it isn't enough, the only thing that will do is make the one who is not inviting the 'demons' home to quickly become a fool.

I am not sure. I used to believe it but now I am not sure. Communicating honestly is the key.
The outside demons sometimes destroy the trust. Have faith in God.

If your mate is strong enough, with his faith and love, as you are, you both can go the distance. If you both attend church then you'll certainly guaranteed a longer lasting relationship.

Probably not.
You can love and love and give and give until you are empty inside.
You can only be responsible for your own actions.
Sounds like your spouse isn't honoring the marriage vows.
When you have done all you can, then move on.
Sad, but sometimes it has to happen.
