Marriage is one of the most complex and difficult institutions to maintain today. Going by the high rate of divorce cases all over the world, marriage has lost its former glory. Research has shown that a married person especially a man lives longer when in a marriage set up than when he is not married. A married man is at a lower risk of heart ailments and other related diseases which gives you a good reason to stay in your marriage. Many people relate marriage with stress which is wrong and untrue. It is meant to pour cold water on the marriage institution and the people who question the integrity of a marriage set up are people who have failed in their marriages. A marriage brings about a sense of belonging, comfort, goodwill and satisfaction. This influences your health positively and it is the reason why you will live longer.

There is nothing that compares to marriage when it comes to reaping benefits. The reason why you should stay in your marriage is the unlimited sex. It is the only pleasure in the world that was not created by man. Good sex triggers hormonal discharges that can only be as a result of sex. Sexual satisfaction makes a woman's face to radiate and she looks more beautiful than a woman who is not reaping such sexual benefits. The pleasure derived from sex sets the pace and rhythm of the heart. It gets your old heart up and kicking. The intimacy during sex and the hormones that are released after sex makes you feel so emotionally and physically close to your partner. You start wondering whether it is possible to just open your heart for your partner to get in, lock it up and throw away the key. You want to feel your partner close to you at all times.

The companionship between a wife and a husband is golden, heavenly and found nowhere else. Your partner in marriage is your friend, lover and husband/wife. You derive so much from your partner in terms of physical and emotional support. Your partner offers you a shoulder to lean on every time you feel low. That is the only person you are assured that you can get a shoulder to cry on. The one and only person you can count and depend on during those turbulent times in life. You develop such closeness and fondness that makes you feel on top of the world. Stay in your marriage and nurture it to levels that would make you cry a river if it ended.

For the sake of your children you should stay in your marriage. Single parenthood seems to be in vogue today but you do not realize what you would be denying your children if you raised them alone. They need all the love from both parents. Children need a role model in their lives, a person they can look upon and depend on. The kind of person who would give them all the attention that they need. A single parent is so occupied and busy that no quality time can be devoted to the child.
