In the core Joomla login module there is an option for "Remember Me". When the user selects that option they stay logged in until the click the logout button. You can do a couple of things if you want users to stay logged in, both can be done with a template override.

First, make a copy of JOOMLA INSTALL/modules/mod_login/tmpl/default.php and place it in JOOMLA INSTALL/YOUR TEMPLATE/HTML/mod_login/default.php

Next, edit that new file. If you want to default the remember me as checked look near line 48 and change it to:

<input id="modlgn_remember" type="checkbox" name="remember" class="inputbox" value="yes" alt="Remember Me" checked />

Or if you want users to automatically stay logged in without having an option to turn it off, look near line 48 and change it to:

<input id="modlgn_remember" type="hidden" name="remember" class="inputbox" value="yes" alt="Remember Me" checked />

That should fix your problem.
