Daters/spouses, what are your motives for wanting to be in a relationship?

[grapefruit11]

Wanting to feel understood, intimate connection, consistent sex, to have someone to love, a co-parent, etc…

[HighValue]

Someone to share experiences with, someone to create and raise a family with, someone to play board games with, knowing that I have a permanent teammate in life that would be there for me during emotionally stressful times and also be there for me to celebrate good things in life.

I would fall under the "Dater" category because I'm definitely not married yet!

I want to be in a relationship so I can share life with someone. I want to make her happy and make her feel loved. And hopefully also entertain her and give her joy and excitement about this thing called "existence."
(And my hope is that it would also be reciprocal. But she doesn't have to really do anything. Because I will get all of those benefits just by being with her.)

Thanks for the MHO! :)

[LazerBean]

Because I love going though life with my husband, and I love being with him.

All of what you mentioned really, a strong sexual attraction is key tho. i admit i have a higher sex drive then the majority of men, so i can be a full time job ;-) no pun intend, sex & intimacy builds trust ;-) and bonds you closer together,
i can definitely say my most enjoyable relationships had strong sexual energy ,

Having a companion. Someone to do things with. Heck, sometimes the simple idea of having someone that you know will actually want you around.

God created Eve from Adams rib, symbolic because... The rib is under the protection of a man's arm, always at his side, next to his heart...

To love and be loved, regardless of what will be.
