   That's because \\ is for prematurely ending a line, not for combining them.   
      
   It's also used (differently) in tabular setting to signal the end of a row.   
      
   Can you explain what you want to do, with a worked example?   
   "want 2 lines to stay together" doesn't give enough information.
