They slow dance in the kitchen, Spend all their spare time together, hold hands, and always make each other smile, it melts my heart ... Anybody know peaople or are in that special relationship after so long? Whats their story? Or yours?

There is no story it is what you call true love. If you are head over heals in love with your soon to be spouse. Keep it that way. Do what your parents have shown you. Love needs to be feed and it will grow. It is up to the two of you to talk, be best friends and never use the word but in any type of talk about one another.
Love is great. Don't let what you have die. It only gets better than you ever dreamed possible.

In March, I'll be married 18 yrs and every year is better than the last. We have five children and have never been more in love. I can't sleep when he's not next to me, When we're apart during the day, we'll leave hilarious voice mails for each other just to share the laugh later. Dinner is on the table every day at 5:30 and when there are days I'm running late, I'm no longer surprised to come home and find that he's picked up the slack and enlisted the kids into some cooking classes just so we continue to share that tradition. It's alot of little things hon and one big thing...we never stop or grow tired of doing things for each other. In doing that, we've shared alot over the years. He's beyond the love of my life...he's my best friend. The one I laugh with, the one who hands me the kleenex when I force him to watch a chick flick (I have to suffer through old war movies...it evens out), He's my permanent date, my rock, the one I count on and the one that holds my heart in his hands. I trust him with everything. To him, I'm his everything. He calls me the glue that holds it all together, but he fails to see that without him, I'd have nothing to hold together. If you have the mindset that things could always be worse, you are going to do just fine. Don't judge your relationship by all the struggles you go through...judge your relationship by how you got through those struggles. My parents were like yours. And until the day my mother passed away, they were "newlyweds" in spirit. In watching them, I've learned life skills that can't be taught anywhere else. I've learned to love with all my heart and soul. To give until I have nothing left to give...and then give some more..and I learned that if you do these things, it builds a love that lasts. I wish you and your future spouse a lifetime of happiness honey! Learn from your examples...they hold the key!

That is fabulous! There are not many of those couples left. Emphasize to your fiance that you hope that you two will be like that after 28 yrs., too. And that you're willing to do what it takes to get there. Sitting down and drafting a plan on how to handle stress, disagreements, child rearing, finances, etc. before you wed would be a good place to start.
Best of luck kiddo! It sounds like you have had good role models.

you can't let any thing come between you and your love also my parents are the same as yours.....you have to be best friends before marriage and after......my grandparents were married for 55 years and were very child like when i was younger and now they rest in peace together so it can happen and the love has to be there and if you have second thoughts i wouldn't do it or if your not best friends and can't have that kinda relationship i would put it on hold.....you have to be sole mates in order for it to work and obviously your parents are and that's why they are so close no one will ever come between them and they know that solely because of the connection they have between each other.....and that's what you have to look for and your hart will know if its right or not.......good luck

Your lover must also be your bestfriend.
