I will be in love with this person forever, whether I like it or not.
He's there, imprinted in my mind and heart for all time.

Technically... no. One or the other of you will die, leave, get fed up. But barring that, yeah, it's possible but highly unlikely. Having experienced a 25 year marriage, i can tell you that it is not all hearts and flowers. You cannot possibly understand what life does to love, and love simply is not enough... not ever. There are a million and one people out there you COULD love, and i don't buy any idealistic notion of "soul mates"... love is a decision, not an accident that you need to hunt down. Those who have only love in common do NOT last, and after years working with couples i can tell you it takes FAR more than just loving someone to live with them. ALL passion fades and dies if left to it's own natural course. It takes effort, commitment and devotion to keep it alive and should it expire anyway, you had best have more than that to start with. The money spent on marriages, half of which all in the US fail anyway, would be far wiser spent on counseling, getting advice, information or spending time together in REAL LIFE, not in bridal shops planning for one day when it's the rest of your life that makes the REAL memories. My theory is that if weddings were outlawed, 75% of the young women in this world would think twice before saying "i do"... because the majority of them "just don't. gentle thoughts... edit... and "caring" for or even loving each other is not the issue. When people go thru illness, death, losing children, raising children, bankruptcy, addiction and growing old... or whatever may come their way, they change. Sometimes one grows and the other gets stuck, sometimes they both grow, but not together or in the same direction. i wish it were as easy as "just love and care for them", but i was young and didn't understand it either at one time. Of course you will find those here and there who remained married, but for every one of those there are ten who won't (or didn't) make it, and a 20 year marriage is not yet over, nor a fifty year one... not so long as they are living. People in their 60's can get divorced, tho i admit that by then it is more unlikely, but it does happen. A handful of 25 year marriages does not make a trend and the reality of it is that it IS highly unlikely. It's not so hard to love someone forever... but staying is a whole different thing. We can't live with all that we love, nor always continue to WANT even who we love or live with. Life is a moving dynamic thing, not a static promise and no one knows the future... still gentle thoughts...

Well that's what I vowed to do in my marriage vows.
People need to realize that 'falling in love' is easy to do. But after you get married you have to 'make love'.... it's a choice you have to make every single day and you choose to love your partner.
Therefore if you would not like to stay in love with the same person until the end of time (as in... you're not willing to make that daily choice) then you probably should not ever get married.

Yes, I would and I have. My husband has loved me since he was 17 and I was 19. We have been married for 37 years. We were married when we were 18 and 20.

I have thought I was in love many times. But never have been in love. I hope this time is different. I'm older and I know that it doesn't happen over night. And this time I didn't go looking for it. It found me. The best kind.

Absolutely, don't you love to see a senior citizen couple holding hands and you can tell it's been a lifetime of love? It would be wonderful to have that.
