Do all married couples eventually fall out of love?

Answer 1

No, but both parties must work hard to keep the love alive. If they do, it will only grow stronger with time.

Answer 2

No.


There are a lot of couples out there still in love. Sometimes, they are even more in love today than ever before. But it's not an easy road. Being married is more difficult than being single.
Marriage takes commitment, communication, understanding, patience, a want to constantly work at the relationship, etc.
Love is mainly an action, chemicals fade, but they can also come back. Keeping things new is important. Sometimes, counseling works.
Abuse in any form is reason to get out of a marriage.

Love is an action.
Love must be worked at.
Love takes energy and time.

Answer 3

You don't have to be married to fall out of love. Look at the questions that come up on this site. People are falling in love and out of love all the time. Marriage doesn't change human nature. All marriage does is place a legal blanket over a relationship. The blanket is as heavy or light as you want it to be. You can thrown it off or make it warm and cozy. The real question probably should be "what is the secret for maintaining a happy, loving relatinoship with someone for years and years?" Answer; there is no "secret". Both parties have to work at it. Both parties have to love themselves in order to love another. So learn to honor yourself, love yourself, be your own best friend...and then you can truly love another. And they can love you.

Answer 4

Not all. Only about 90% eventually fall out. The initial fire of the "love" goes out and the novelty of the whole thing wears out after a period which different for everyone. The lucky ones are the ones who can keep the fire burning.
Then ones who are still staying together, do so because of either being used to each other, security and comfort of an established home life or kids and are mostly cheating or having other partners on the side...to keep that internal fire going which is a basic human desire.

Answer 5

No, it just changes. As people change over the years, their love changes. Yes they could fall out of love, if one person changes drastically and the other can't cope. But, No, all married couples don't fall out of love.

The love you feel when you first get married is not the same love that you feel 50 years later. It could be just as strong, but different.

Answer 6

Marriage is a relationship built on love. I think if you can differentiate love from lust or sexual attraction the love for each other is an ever lasting. even if after some time you don't continue with the same phase of love making that you used to have before mar rage. but the bond between the two is very strong which is a mixture of love ,trust,and companionship.

Answer 7

I wouldn't go so much to say that ALL married couples will eventually fall out of love. My grandparents have been married for 70 years ..

Answer 8

No, my husband's grandparents are in their 80's, have been married for almost 60 years and they still hold hands. They are always touching each other. She even still sits on his lap! Not all couples fall out of love, only those who didn't truely LOVE in the first place.

Answer 9

Marriages go through phases. People who don't work on their marriage and just give up over trivial stuff fall out of love. Its not an easy thing. The key to a good marriage is picking someone you know before you marry. Then be adult enough to work out your differences and try harder to keep it spicey. Sometimes you have to suck it up and ride through the rough parts.

Answer 10

Not all couples. Sometimes people drift apart, the relationship loses it's spark or it was a mismatch from the start and they were confusing lust for love. If you are truly in love with someone despite all their faults, care deeply about that person and you keep the passion alive, I think you will be in love with each other for the rest of your lives. Take care : )

Answer 11

It depends what you call love. I think most couples start to focus on other things in their lives (career, children, etc) rather than courting and these things can make them too tired to concentrate on each other. Many couples still value their spouses very highly though. My parents have been married for 36 years and while they are not super-silly or affectionate, I can't see either without the other.
