Then does that really qualify as living and practicing marital love?

I mean, aren't these people just looking for someone to hunker down and ride out the storm of life with...and aren't they going to be VERY out of practice when a marital hurdle comes up and they have forgotten how to interact and problem solve together?

Need to do more than watch TV.

Unless this question is about yourself, what qualifies you as an expert on this couples relationhsip? How do you know all they do is watch TV? Are you in bed with them at night? Are you there to hear the conversations that occur in the morning? Older people don't feel they have to be entertained outside of the home every night as young people do. Older people are less materialistic and can be very happy with one another.

um.. well, when you're dating someone, couples who date usually go out to movies and all the do is going out to places, and eat and stuff, to show that they're in love. Married couples are different, they're madly in love that's why they're married, and married couples can't afford to go out to places like before marriage because they have to save up for house, paying the bills and getting ready for having kids, so practicing marital love isn't just going out to places, you do things together as a couple so yes watching tv together as married couple qualifies as living and practicing marital love, because they're watching tv TOGETHER!

It's called nesting. Being comfortable with each other and enjoying home life is a sign of a serious relationship.
So yes, it's practicing marital love.

It takes two to tango. If they are both couch potatoes, I guess sitting in front of a tv all the time would be heaven.
If one is a couch potato and the other is a go-getter, this was probably something they should have noticed before marriage. What was your expectation of marriage? What activities did you expect you and your spouse to do? Did you guys do these activities before getting married? Is s/he resistant to doing them now? It might be time to have a heart-to-heart with your spouse or get an annullment for false advertising.

It depends.
If they both genuinly love eachother, and all you happen to notice is them watching TV, they are practicing marital love.
If they really only watch tv (not possible), then they aren't truly in love, and need some counceling of some sort.

this is normal in a marriage, quality time with someone is only what they feel is suitable for them as a couple, sounds to me they are content with each other that doesn't mean they aren't practicing marital love. you shouldn't know what goes on behind closed doors.

there really is no set definition of marital love. its whatever makes yall happy. if all yall want to do is sit and watch tv, then do it. its a lot better than going to a bar everynight and getting plastered, dont ya think?
