100 Reasons to Stay Married

Marriage isn’t always easy, and anyone who says it is might be skipping the real talk. I’ve been there—the seasons of deep love, awkward silence, inside jokes, and even frustration that makes you want to scream into a pillow.

I will give you over 10, 20, 50 reasons why you should stay in the marriage, even after challenges such as infidelity.

It means recommitting when the butterflies are gone. It means investing in connection when the schedule is full. It’s knowing that storms pass, but so do moments you’ll miss if you walk away too soon. Staying married means you’ve decided that what you have is worth it—not perfect, but worth it.

Here are a few ways to get through the challenges:

• 💬 Go to therapy—individually or together.
• 📚 Keep learning how to love better. Books, podcasts, and courses help.
• 🧘 Take breaks. Breathe. Heal. Reflect.
• 👥 Surround yourselves with couples who encourage you, not pull you apart.
• ❤️ Never stop dating each other—flirt, laugh, remember why you began.

Marriage isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present. And sometimes, that’s the bravest, most beautiful thing you can do.
