for all the people that are in long term relationships (10 years plus). Do you wish there was more affection in your relationship or are you happy with the way things have doled down? Do you miss all the excitment of the new love? Do you just wish there was more in your relationship.

I cant speak for anyone but myself but there is as much if not more excitement now than the day we married. I wouldnt change a thing. we are soulmates, friends and lovers. Now that the kids are grown the world is ours. Married 30 years and the honeymoon isnt over yet :)

My relationship doesn't apply to any of those things. We are still in love today like we were 10 years ago. Only thing I wish there was more of was money :) My husband and I still kiss, hold hands, snuggle up together at bed time and during movies. We still flirt with each other as well. I still get excited (happy) when I know he is pulling in the drive way after just going to the store for bread. I think we pretty much have everything the same as we did when we first started dating before marriage. I wouldn't change any of it.

I haven't been in my relationship for 10 years yet only 8 but for me I have started to feel that way for the last year or so. We do love eachother but there is nothing like that new relationship feeling. I feel that even this far on in the friendship you need to experience new things. Go on dates to something completely wild. Just do things that you have never done before. Thats what I'm trying to make my hubby do. It does really work. We went out on a date the other night to the beach for a drive and had a bottle of wine while watching the sea. It was very cold and I got sick and we got that drunk that we had to sleep in the car. We had never done that before and prob would never again but the point is it was different. Thats all that I can suggust. You don't want to get bored after 10 years because what would happen after 20?

Yeah, for me I'm married more than 10 years ago, and I'm thankful because of having a kind, supportive and understanding wife. The way we spice up our relationship, we regularly date and scheduled sex sometime out of town and without the kids around to be alone with her to recover our time for each other, we are open and share everything. There, we can refresh, talk, plan and asses our lost times. We talk about our respective jobs, friends, relatives, family matters and anything that came into our minds. If you think that your relationship will getting bored and do nothing to experiment how to rebonding again, then your relationship will fade up and I'm afraid one of you will cheat and find new friend to give you what you feel missing in your relationship. That time will endanger your relationship, and the most affected are those young toddlers...

After 25 years yes things have changed, but thats because we grew together in so many ways that we could not have possibley had in the beginning.
I would not change a thing, Our love is stronger now then it was when we first married and nothing will change that, things just get better and better the longer we are together.
We have grown past the stage of Lust, now we make love, there is a big difference. The affection is stronger now then it ever was. Affection can be shown in many ways, its more then just sex!

Certainly miss the excitement of being loved. Marriage becomes a cold routine after 1 or 2 years.

OK, so lets be honest, talk to your other half. Be honest, love I feel is something that we must work on each day not once every 10 years. Treat each sec as if it were your last. Never go away from each other mad or even to bed at night. Really the grass isn't greener on the other side...I no cause that's were I am.
Good Luck in Love.

Sometimes I am so in love and content. Awesome sex, lots of affection and intimacy. Don't want anything else. Other times, wish I never got married and want the freedom and excitement of something more. Marriage is a rollercoaster, learn to ride it.

It is not possible to maintain the same level of love over a long period of time. That is not to say you love each other less, just that you grow into a deeper love and instead of being Kylie's hot pants it becomes a careworn cardigan and slippers - comfortable more than exciting.
