Answer 1

I am recently married, but lived with my partner for 8 years prior to marriage. We have got to know each other inside out before marriage so there is instantly a trust and strong bond between us. We are like brothers in the sense that there are no secrets and lies, we would do anything to help the other and we have a key understanding of each others inate needs. These are needs that transcend sex and other such things and go to a deeper spiritual level, We have absolute faith in each other and our beliefs, It is not blind trust it is all enhancing. We make each other stronger in our love and are happy and secure in that knowledge.
