It is an old adage that counts here, as regards long-term relationships:-
"If you put a gold dollar in a jar for every time you make love in the first year, and then take a gold dollar out for every time you make love every time after that first year - you will never empty the jar."
People entering into a long-term social arrangement such as a marriage should do so with their eyes wide open, and realise that it's not going to be personal satisfaction at any time day and night for everything, so any such relationship should be based on a host of other solid foundations, rather than on sexual interest and desire.
Human reproductive desire is based on about a twelve month period - sufficient time to develop and produce offspring, and then the nature of the beast is to move on.... that is why these things happen .. humans are not monogamous individuals by nature - and that applies to both men and women.
Hence the difficulty in maintaining fidelity in a long term relationship. Two factors - human nature and the demand to 'move on' and diversify the gene pool - and the wane in interest after that twelve months or so, lead to that difficulty. The problem with both of these factors in human behaviour is that, in our 'modern' times - a society is based on the 'nuclear family' and the need for the parents to remain together for the best good of family and society, and not just be part of some 'extended family' troop of baboons.
Sense and sensibility, innit?
Now, Poppets, we need to consider why governments respective, Western and certain religious based ones (sic), are seeking so desperately to destroy that 'single nuclear family'. Surely such an attempt is detrimental to society and civilised order and is a retrograde step back to the primate level?
