Ronbee,

- Marriage requires commitment and sacrifice from both partners.

- Driving regards a great deal of concentration.

It´s a formal use of require, but I guess it can be used this way!

What do you think about this ?

Thanks.

- Driving requires a great deal of concentration.
This is fine. ;-)
