I wonder always, what makes two people decide to spend their lives together, forever. Is it mere attraction or desire for sense of security or need for companionship or something else?
I am not questioning the institution of marriage. The institution works, i know for sure, even though today's generation is more liberal in thoughts and enjoys much greater freedom then the previous generations did.
My question is more of an attempt to understand what makes a marriage work. The common place rational that many give fails to convince me. Real relationships cannot be based merely on basic human desires. As the fact is these desires are too sort-lived to base the decision for lifetime on it. The attraction fades out as quickly as it had built up and the desire of companionship whither away when you have had a load of it.
What then makes two people spend their lives together?
