I am assuming your question is supposed to read like this:
Apart from their sex life, what keeps husbands and wives together?
Well if all you want from life is sex then you'd just find someone for that. But if what you want is your best friend to share all your ups and downs of life with you then a spouse is better. Why marry rather than co-habit? Because you know that any problems can't just be walked away from, that you are effectively part of your spouse's family and you'll spend longer trying to work it out and get through the bad years and onto the good years. Marriages have their good years and bad years but are worth it in the end, however if you're just living with someone you would be more likely to leave them during a bad year.

When you want someone special in your life for life you consider marriage. Sharing your life with the opposite sex thru commitment, experiences, good times, bad times, compani onship, having children, simply working together towards the same goals is a wonderful thing to do. But some people dont want this so marriage is not for them. Marrige involves committment and trust.

I didn't really believe in marriage until I met my husband!! I think in today's society with soring divorce rates and co-habitation marriage is even more of a commitment than it was twenty years ago. Being marriage has increase my confidence because I know my husband is behind, supporting me in whatever I do, the security of it is comforting and knowing that I have a soulmate with whom I can share all my ups and downs with, somebody who is angry when I'm angry, excited when I'm excited makes my life so much more worth while. What makes it extra special is that when we first met he thought marriage was just a piece of paper but 6yrs of being the very best of friends before our relationship developed into something so much deeper made me feel so wanted when he suggested we married. unless you find the perfect partner marriage is not important but if and when it does happen its the best thing

I don't think you have to be married necessarily and this is maybe just me but I think its a couple of things....I think the things that keep us together are why we love each other. So I cant say that love is the reason we are together more that love is the byproduct of the other things.
Its kinda hard to give it a name....I just know that I can depend on him always
I can trust him with everything...my heart ...my secrets....my ego...my life.
He knows how to make me feel like I'm worth something and never makes me feel like a waste of space.
We support each others dreams and goals
We leave space for one another to be individuals as well as a couple.
He doesn't want to change me, I am what I am and if the things that maybe aren't that great about me could be taken away then he knows I wouldn't be me so he likes those things too.
That's not to say we are the perfect couple and never fight, coz we do.....but that's why they invented "make up sex" ;-))

pure love. In spite of so many difference of opinion between them their pure love lasts for ever. There is no other relationship that last long except the relationship between husband and wife. It can be very well understand by observing the old age couples. They shower on each other their parental affection, friendly affection, they are teachers to one another etc etc. I found no words beyond this. there is no other relationship much greater than this.

You go to school often? Dont think so but anyway....Sex is not everything but marriage is held together with lots of little things, start with a good bond and friendship.
