Anything is possible, you just have to want it. It's not up to just one person though. "Love" is a partnership. And just as with all partnerships, both parties have to work toward their common goal. Fifty years is a long time, but I would much rather spend fifty of my years, being a part of something strong enough to stand the test of time, then to spend my life in some sort of habitual, empty and unfullfilling relationship. I guess the key is to find that special someone that shares the same opinion.
Smoking is a habit... biting your nails is a habit... Love is FAR from a habit!

I do think it's possible. Of course there are ups and downs in any relationship but that is what commitment is all about...staying together through the tough times as well as the good. My wife's parents were married for 55 years and I have no doubt that they loved each other. That kind of love is much deeper than most relationships today.It's too easy to throw in the towel when the going gets tough and get divorced. True love respects the marriage vows and stay in it for the long haul. It is a wonderful thing to love someone that deeply and be devoted to each other and the relationship.

Well, you probably won't be swinging from the chandeliers! But when you're part of a couple, you belong together. And surprisingly enough. some people are happy that way. So yes, you can easily love someone for fifty years.

I don't know about fifty years, as I have not gotten that far along in life, but I have been married for 31 years and was in love with my wife three years before we are married, as I still very much am. Tomorrow is promised to no one of course, but I am hopeful.

I am speaking from experience here, yes it is possible
Habit has nothing to do with it!!
We care and look out for each other now. OK the drama of
being "in love" has gone but it has been replaced by something
SO SO MUCH more. After 50 years together we still like spending
time together we respect each other and what we feel is so much
more than love its undescribable.

Yes, it is possible. My great grand mother was in love with her first husband from the time she was 15 until she died at the age of 84. He passed away when she was 40 and he was 42 and she never lost the love for him. He was long gone before I was born, but she would always tell me how proud of me he would have been and always told me about how they lived and loved each other.

I don't know much about hobbits, but i think its possible in humans. My parents are married for about 40 years and still they are in so much in love.

I certainly hope so. My grandparents were married for 58 years and my gran was ill for 2 years before she died. My grandad took care of her every need, every day of those 2 years and never left her side, even at the cost of his own health. He was so sweet towards her that he must have loved her massively.
He is my hero, and I hope that in 50 or so years time that me and my hubby will still love each other that much.

That's more than possible or else in the New Testament, Jesus would not create marriage if he thought you couldn't love the person forever. I'm loving my husband till we both can't love no more, that's for "ETERNITY" my friend.

In the many conversations i've had with my dad who is working
on his 55th year with the same woman, he has indicated to me
on several indepth conversations that he still loves her dearly....
So yes....it is very possible and highly probable....
