What Binds A Marriage More? Love, Sex Or Friendship by olasworld(m): 6:09pm On Jan 21, 2015
What makes a marriage stronger? Is it the love, sex or the friendship that exists between the couples.
I believe the order is friendship, sex and then love

Friendship

"In the voyage of life the boat of friendship is the best"

Love and sex wares off sometimes but what keeps the relationship strong and bind is FRIENDSHIP smiley

Love and sexuality have crossed centuries unchanged, so the two are the two stronghold of marriage.

But most men who cheat are in search of good sex not love

Friendship keeps the marriage in my opinion. Love will not always be there and there's a thin line between love and hate, friendship makes that line thicker in my view.

If only couples learnt to be friends first, the rate of intolerance and divorce in marriage will reduce.

Very true, but you just described friendship. I personally believe friendship is the hallmark of marriage. Romance which I believe we all confuse as love fades and dies a natural death. Sex? This we can get from anywhere, at a point it becomes boring to both parties for constantly doing it with one person(I honestly don't know how married people maintain fidelity, cos as they say variety is the spice of life grin ) But friendship? That ishi is forever.

Xup bae? Longtime, where have you been?

All the three mentioned are ok then tolerance too

Sense of responsibility,more than anything, sustains a relationship. That's not relegating the importance of love/friendship and s*x.

When love fades, friendship not going so well and sex not as it used to shark you, then RESPONSIBILITY sets in.

How much am I willing to stand by my decision to marry this person? Do I go out and find a substitute? That's where responsibility comes in. Your spouse becomes your cross (which you must carry every time) once you marry.

Hey, it might not make any sense, but that's my opinion.

It's informative to know that responsibility is also a factor just like the trio. By responsibility you mean that a husband or wife would rather suffer under the marriage vows than look out. I see it as discipline.

Relationship is first, then love. Sex will cement the investment you guys have put in place.

Hello sir,

Good evening to you. I am boye, i stumbled upon your profile while taking a surf through nairaland on network engineering.
Please pardon me if i take a bit of your time.
Though still in the very early stage of my preferred career as a network engineer, i happen to need a lot of mentor and guidance which is why i messaged you.

I am a recent graduate of electrical and electronics engineering, lost interest in engineering after graduation and then ventured into programming (Data Analysis) before i got employed as intern with an ISP which was where i got really interested in networking.

I still currently intern for the ISP and i have certainly learned a lot. I have been thinking on next steps to take after my internship, going for masters, taking certifications is on my list, but i still want professional advise.
I am currently taking some CCNA trainings on youtube with jeremy in anticipation of taking the CCNA certification, still dont know if this should be the first step or i take COMPTIA +, but Comptia + seems outdated to me. I really don't know which is why i need professional advises.

I would be glad sir if you could spare little time to give me few tips and mentorship.

Thanks for your anticipated response.
