Marriage and a sexual partner are not the same thing. No matter what the media tells you about. Marriage is about building a relationship with your best friend. If this statement is not true, consider some self examintation and ensure that you have not fallen into step D of the ABCs talked about previously.

There are also many benefits that marriage has that a sexual partner does not have. Studies have shown that marriage corresponds with happiness, health, prosperity, and well being of the communities and children.

As you are compatible with partner and working on Step C of the ABCs it will become clear to you that marriage, while a commitment, will bless the life of you, your spouse, and everyone you interact with.

Not every moment will have that spark, we have to understand that the little things can build up this relationship as well. Showing and developing to be the person to care for and encourage interdependancy rather than a predator of your spouse's independence. Go the extra mile and your spouse should recognize and hopefully return it unto you.
