Snippets of a reply

The Question of what keeps people together is myriad...

...marriage for many is a committment on many levels: family, economic, social...etc....Love + respect are ideals that some don't have the luxury for. There's love there - but its of a different kind. It's a kind of reliance...to be together so long they wouldn't know how to live apart...

...You spend so much time with a person that you get used to them - you become in-tune with their presence, and you entangle yourself with their presence, and this entanglement becomes an organism...sometimes it swallows and engulfs as well as feeds...

...To love and respect is higher functioning which is the rightful way for all humans, sadly so few of us either aspire or attain. Yet it is truly within our domain.

...still learning
