Two strands of DNA are held together by Hydrogen Bond, an attraction, between their nitrogen bases. There are 3 Hydrogen bond between Guanine and Cytosine, whereas 2 hydrogen bond between Adenine and Thymine. Remember the DNA runs in an anti-parallel direction. :)

base pairing
How are the strands held together in the double helix?
On a single strand of DNA the nucleotides are held together by covalent bonding between the phosphate group bonded to the 5' end of the deoxyribose, which bonds to another deoxyribose molecule attached to the next nucleotide on the strand at the 3' end of the sugar. This is what holds together a single strand. When two strands of DNA that have exactly complementary base pairing (Adenine bonds with only Thymine, and Cytosine with Guanine) the base forms a hydrogen bond to the base on the opposite strand, only if the base pairing is complementary. So, in short the double helix form is held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases present on the strand.
