For the first time in my life, I have experienced an "extended love". Not only loving this person, but being actually head-over heels in love. This has been going strong for all of six months.
Is there anyone out there that still feels this way about their partner over an extended period of time? I would hate to NOT fell this way anymore.

Sorry....six months is not even close to being considered an extended period of time. Get back to us in another 20-30 years and let us know how that's going for ya.

Just thought I'd give an answer, even though I've only been married for 5 years. Relationships take work. Real honest to God work. You have to be willing from the very beginning to keep your love alive. You need to embrace your bf/gf and establish good communication between yourselves. I recommend you buy the book 'His Needs Her Needs' and read it together or take turns. Especially if you think there is a chance for your relationship to lead to marriage.
Don't ever go to bed angry.
I believe that in order to make any relationship last you have to work at meeting your partners needs above your own. That is what true love is. True love is selfless and kind. Most couples end up in a divorce because someones needs were not being met by their partner. So, in comes someone else who meets those needs and hearts/homes are broken.
Love is a great and powerful thing. My wife and I dated for over two years before we married and we were best friends before then. We are still in love today as much as back then, actually I love her more now then ever before.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

At 6 months, you're still in the heady, lusty newness of a relationship, and that head over heals in love feeling is great. Now what do you think it'll feel like 10-20 years down the line after real life sets in? What if someone dies, or there is an illness? A car crash or two? What about a kid or two? What if your mate gets fat?
My point is life happens, and with time that newness wears off if you let it. If you want to keep that head over heels feeling, you have to make it the priority in your lives every day. Say I love you several times every day, and mean it. Kiss her when you leave for work, and when you get home. Every day. Let her know that you appreciate her with every glance, and every comment. Don't fight over things that can be worked out like money. When s... happens work it out together. Let it strengthen your bond, instead of letting it tear you apart.

I am absolutely in love with my hubby. We've been married for almost 15 years (on November29) and we're all over each other. Before that we dated for 2 years and well we get along very well. We rarely fight (thank God) and we love doing things together and with our 3 kids. I really hope your relationship lasts a long time. Good Luck!

Heres the plain truth no matter what anyone says you will always love a person until the either one cheat on you or two you want to be with other people... but i am gonna answer your question with a question if it makes you happy being with this person why do you want to know if it will last?

wonderful person... why do you feel this way... are you are afraid to feel more then he or she ........ you are the life of love and this is rare... embrace it as you have .... and field the world with the possibility that others may soon feel this shamelessness love of two decades .. sometimes life finds that the love is hindered and sometimes it finds otself blossomed... i hope your partner can see this and send it back to you.
Peace!1 G

Sorry, honey, you don't "feel" that way forever.
But the deep love it is replaced with will outlive your current enamoured feeling, and will satisfy you more than you can imagine.
