Just 1 question

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?

Heard in shall we dance movie .. liked it. dunno if it makes sense to u..

Why is it that people get married?
Because we need a witness to our lives.
There’s a billion people on the planet.
What does any one life really mean?
But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything…
The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things,
All of it… all the time, every day.
You’re saying “Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.
Your life will not go unwitnessed - because I will be your witness.”
