Protons are subject to the strong nuclear force. This keeps them together in small numbers, but their alike electric charge pushes them apart. This is why atoms with more than one proton always have neutrons, which have no charge and do not repel each other, but attract each other and protons by the strong nuclear force.When the nuclear attraction overcomes the protons' electrical repellance, you get a stable nucleus.

the nucleus is a very small region of space iots diameter is of the order 10 ^ -10m. at such a small spaces the protons and neutrons are at such close distances that it attracts each other. this is what keeps them together

The Strong Nuclear Force, one of the four fundamental forces in nature, keeps them bound together. It only works over very short distances, but it is much, much, much stronger than electromagnetism.

Neutrons have a very fast motion around and between protons and they make a strong net and lattice wich can keep protons together

The "Great Force". no, really, that's what it's called
