Marriage, like any commitment, is something we decide each day. Not that we think about whether we will stick it out every time it gets rough, but we make choices each day to support our pledge to keep what we have pledged. For instance, wise couples protect their marriage by never allowing themselves to be in circumstances where they could be tempted to betray it. Some things must be preemptively decided if they are to be permanently decided. To stay together we should stay away from situations that could harm our fidelity with our partner.
