Judgement Day said:The combination of all three. But if you're asking what makes marriage stands up for long, then I vote love. Based on God for your responsibility to God, and based on legal documents for human affairs.

Draka said:Love. legal papers are just that...papers. God doesn't even exist for a lot of people and there are plenty of marriages in which the people don't believe in god that make it. Why? Love.
Draka said:I don't even believe that marriage is necessary. I think people can be together and love each other without the paperwork. Marriage is a legality really. Also, to stay in a loveless unhappy marriage just to appease a god which may or may not exist is really living your short life miserable for a "what if". We are to be happy while we are here in my belief. Why doom oneself to unhappiness if you don't have to? I personally would rather be divorced than stuck in a marriage where I felt unloved, abused, tormented and whatnot simply because of "god". Love is the only reason to be together...period.
michel said:"other(please explain)" From my personal point of view, Love, companionship and a lot of hard work. I believe that attraction is the first 'spark'. As the relationship develops, love grows, and friendship. I don't suppose we are all the same, but for us, there came a time when sex was no longer high on the list of priorities. By then, you have 'made your bed', and the hard work begins........the rough and tumbles of life, children growing up, and that's where the companionship comes in. There's nothing like it.
