much more. not so much the gasping, bosom-heaving variety of "in love", but definitely more. it becomes a deeper, wider kind of love, born of an intimate knowlege of the other person - their wit, wisdom, humor, loves, peeves, fears, hopes, dreams...the whole big package. all the little stuff that makes up the whole person you are still getting to know on your wedding day. it is an amazing ride (notice i did not say easy), and worth all the time and hassles that go with it. my wife and i have been together for 17 astonishing years, yet she never ceases to surprise and amaze me. she totally rocks my world! we have a wonderful friendship, lots of laughter, and all kinds of good stuff. but even with such a marriage, we have what we have because we work really hard at it. we've had our share of troubles, fears, and problems - some pretty big ones here and there, but we chose not to blame each other for anything. laying blame is the death of any good marriage, as is saying hurtful things, the silent treatment, withholding sex, and going to bed angry. if you want that "in love" to last, avoid these things like the plague. real intimacy is all about communication, not sex. sex is gravy; friendship is the meal. and that "in love" feeling? well, feelings come and go, and come again. you will never have the deeper love without that feeling first fading a bit. but the cool thing about "falling out of love" is that if you stay at it, the feeling comes back in little bursts out of the blue, and you realize all over again, and more completely, what it was that made you love them in the first place. don't let feelings determine your actions toward each other...feelings are fleeting, and sometimes downright false. go with what you know, not what you feel. you know you love your spouse, so don't get worried if you don't feel in love sometimes - that is just part of the process - let it roll off. i know sometimes my wife feels like loving me with a brick :) but that always passes.
hope this is a good answer!

When you go thru life and stick together thru the hard times and share the blessing of the good fun times you grow closer to each other.
