is it okay to marry someone because you love this person's company so much that it is hard for you to live without seeing him?

If you will not leave him some day and break his heart when you find your soul-mate.
MAYBE he is your soul-mate and you don't even know it.
Hope so. I married for love, lust, and all that. I am so lucky that I have it all. I do not think anyone should settle.

Sure, why not, old people do it all the time....and as we found out a few generations ago, you don't have to love some one or even know them before marriage (arranged marriages as an example)...BUT, though you sound like you are in love and not acknowledging it, at some point (or points) someone of the opposite gender just may cross you path, and the animal passion will stir, oh yes, stir it will...and then your friendly companionship may take a serious hit by comparison. I think there has to be at least some passion and desire to go with the companionship in a marriage.

Marriage is about companionship....I like the advice that has gone out for years, make sure you marry someone you enjoy being around, someone you can talk to, because if you are marrying for attraction and sex, those two aren't guaranteed in a marriage. You age and the looks sometimes go with gravity, and the sex drive diminishes. Marry your best friend, then you know you have a lot in common and that your marriage is what everyone would hope to have, you just figured it out first!

Loving someone's company so much that it is hard for you to live without seeing him sounds like more than companionship. It sounds more like one of the stages of love, and a very important one. If you want a reason for marriage, companionship of the type you describe makes more sense than just sex. You'll spend half an hour a day in sex, 7 1/2 in sleep, and the other sixteen in misery, UNLESS you have someone whose company you love so much it is hard for you to live without seeing him.
I hope he feels the same way about you!

To each it's own but , just to marry for companionship I can't get with that . Marriage is sacred and shouldn't be taken lightly . Look instead of marrying for companionship , why don't you become roommates . Or you could adopt a nice little doggy or kitty to keep you company . Please don't marry just for companionship , unless the other person can live with just being companions .

It sounds like a good idea to me. Solid friendship, good companionship are wonderful reasons to marry. And, because you feel like you can't live without seeing this person, it seems to me that you may love them as well. Lust passes but love, friendship and companionship can provide a lasting foundation for marriage.

companionship and freindship is what you have left after lust and sexuality have gone by the wayside, good company goes a lot further in my book than hating someone to have sex with them. I cant understand how somepeople fight to have makeup sex, in my opinion, that is just stupid, I could never be in a relationship like that, but many people are, to each his own, I guess, But I think companionship is an indicator that you truly like someone and thier company, so yes, from me!

You should marry someone because you want to spend the rest of your life with them, no matter what circumstances. If the other person becomes horribly disfigured in an accident and you wouldn't stick around to take care of them, you shouldn't marry them. Marriage should be forever and taken seriously... so only consider marriage if you can see yourself loving them forever :) and yes a big reason for marriage is that you want to spend your life with that person, share your intimate moments...

Marriage is a life long comittment. You need to ask yourself is it the companiioship that you want, or do you really love him. Maybe the reason you can't seem to live without him is because you are in love with him and admitting that scares you. It' snot okay to marry just to avoid loneliness, but if you really love him and can't live without him, (for the right reasons), then go for it. Good luck.

Companionship is 50% of it in my opinion!
