Do we do this for companionship or it is actually love or other reasons?

There are so many answers to this question. Sometimes it may seem that they are miserable but really aren't most of the time. That lovey dovey thing forever and ever is only tv and movies thing. Many times people stay together for many years because it didn't start out that way and throught the years, things changed and they aren't as dreamy eyed with each other anymore and feel that it's in their best interest to stay together. As we get older, our lives intertwine more and more as we have children, buy homes, get grandchildren, etc. Sometimes it's not as easy as some think to just give it all up. Yes, I agree with some here that say some are afraid to be alone but I think it's more because our lives are lived as 1 for so long, it's not easy to separate. We have friends that would be very uncomfortable seeing the couple not as a couple anymore. These are just a few of the reasons. I hope that it makes sense as it is late4 in the night for me!

1.There are certain things which do not appear outside.
2.If a couple are quarreling with each other, and suppose a third person interferes to support the lady, then what happens do you know. The lady says, "you have no business to interfere. It is my husband, and what ever he has done is alright for me. Who are
you come in between us?". The third person gets astonished and feels fooled.
3. In the companionship, there is a security, an understanding beyond quarrels, beyond miseries caused by each other, there is a pity and kindness for the other partner. That's why the institution of marriage has been successfully in existence since ages old.
4. There is a kind of security in the companionship. The pair of the couple, in spite of differences, do worry one for another, and there will never be selfishness. If there is not sufficient quantity to be shared in between, the wife sacrifices her share and thinks to feed her husband. The husband telling some story tries to give his share to his wife. What I am speaking is about the normal husband and wife, not polluted by the society at large.
5. Love sprouts out of companionship. The love which you were meaning by physical attraction doesn't stand much longer.
I hope your answer has come now.

I think every relationship goes through periods where you're less than thrilled with eachother, but that doesn't mean that it's not worth staying together....especially if you're married. Once you're married you promised eachother forever-for better and for worse-and I believe (and luckily, so does my husband) that once you make that kind of committment you can't just walk away because you're bored or miserable for a second. You have to work it out together-that's what marriage is all about.

Because once we are together for a while we begin to grow comfortable with each other. We let down our guards and open up too much exposing things perhaps we have never exposed before. Thus creating the fear of having to open ourselves up to someone new, and start over again.

People don't stay together to make each other miserable; however, when people argue and fight they become stronger as a couple/friend. Arguments make people overcome struggles in a relationship.

Fear. Inertia.
I divorced my wife when I was 38. It was a financial strain, paying alimony and child support, but it gave me peace of mind at home. I do not want to be in a relationship with someone who takes my peace of mind; I want to be in a relationship, if at all, with someone who improves my life in some way.
It took commitment to break away from a bad marriage.

because misery loves company and that is the only thing you know is that person and you feel like you wont make without them. and that you wont ever meet someone else, and you think that you dont deserve better so you stay. GodBless

Because they think that they can eventually make it work and because they're probably just "used" to being with that person all the time.

There is something there that is unexplainable. Believe me I know. Sometimes I wonder why I put up with my bf, but I see good in him too.

Because some are afraid of the unknown, the fear of being alone
