Love IS a feeling, but it is also a commitment. It takes commitment to keep the relationship strong when the 'feelings' aren't there.
You can keep the romance going- it doesn't have to fade, nor do the goosebumps...but you have to work at it. A relationship does not have a life of its own...it takes two people who are committed to each other to give it life.

It can be an action caused by a feeling.
when the goosebumps and romantic feelings fade away, you move on.

love grows and changes over time .. the excitement goes very quickly and this is replaced by a caring love
what people have to be careful of is growing also with the love , because if they don't then they will long for those goosebumps feelings as you call it
i am going through it just now with my husband .. we have kind of got used to each other and the romance is fading .. but we know that we will always be together and have grown and changed as the love has

ACTION. True love is a verb.
When the romantic feelings fade away you are left with a decision to love and that's when the action kicks in.

Those "feelings" are not Love. Love comes from God. It's an action that you have to commit to. I have been married a very long time (Over 30 years). I can say without hesitation that I love my wife. Are there still butterflies.. Sometimes and that is wonderful. But Love the action the commitment I hold for her is much deeper than feelings..

you need to find something that will bring back those feelings.... start dating again. pick a day of the week and get a sitter if you have kids and go out on a date. dress up, do your hair wear your good shoes and throw on some sweet smelly perfume. the extra time you put into it will deffinatly catch his attention and the attention you get will be pleasing to you. you will find those fireworks and goosebumps come back stronger than ever :)

Love is a thing of the will. If you will yourself to do loving things toward somebody, the goosebumps may come back.

The feeling subsides, then it must become an action. I think the good news is that when the action is taken enough times, then it is felt again, but in a new and deeper way.

Love is an emotion. Love is the actions to keep the emotion alive.
Love is the caring and respect that improves the quality of our lives daily.

Love isn't an emotion, love is a decision. You love your children even when you're angry with them, and God loves us even when we sin, if love were an emotion, God would've killed Adam and Eve the moment they sinned bc He was angry and wouldn't have loved them at that time. Love is a decision, it shouldn't be based on emotions, that would mean we couldn't love our enemies. like Christ commands. It's a decision to have the characteristics listed in 1 Corinthians 13
