Couples come in all shapes and sizes. Monogamy has often been debated but those people that stay together like the company of another. We need people in our lives. Someone who cares about us- warts and all. Life changes us so some couples do not stay together while others find their affection and love for each other grows stronger. Sometimes it is just easier to stay in a mediocre relationship then change it. Financially it is better. No dividing property. Even the most eligible bachelor will eventually find a partner. A string of changing girlfriends wears thin after awhile. So we mate, couple up, build a nest and often a little nest egg. Some cultures allow the man to have a mistress. Some allow more than one wife. However you notice most wives only want one husband! Why is that? We are social beings. We need company. Then if lucky the couple become a family. The bragging of how many grandchildren and then if lucky great-grandchildren. Couples and relationships are a fodder for much discussion. Why a marriage lasts can have an answer that varies for as many couples that exist! There could be common themes- love, respect, good communication, allowing personal space, supporting each other through tough times, and just liking each other's company- nothing too special. Just knowing when to make another cup of coffee! So why do we mate? Well your answer is as good as mine!
