Wow...I wish I could help you but your question is so open-ended. I wonder how long have you been married and the circumstances surrounding your situation. Are you both overwhelmed with work and kids and keeping house and such? Are you just bored with each other? Is your marriage Christian based?
I would just say that marriage has to be based on mutual respect. The warm fuzzies are bound to fade after a few years and then the REAL love kicks in. It helps to try to re live the first days of your courtship...why did you fall in love with this person in the first place? If that doesn't help, think about what you have learned about your spouse that makes you love them more than when you met. Focus on the positive. Try to find the positive in the situation, even when it seems hopeless. If your marriage is Christian based, check in the Bible to see what it says about marriage...I recommend the Song of Solomon. ;) Try some romance...what is it that your spouse loves to do that you have not done in a long while? Surprise them! If it is the kids and work and the house that are getting to you...have a date! Have a date once a week...time for you and your spouse to focus on each other. Hire a sitter and go dine somewhere and just talk to each other. Gaze into your spouses eyes like you used to when you first got together. I wish I could help you more. I sincerely hope your spouse also wants to preserve the love. I wish you all the best.

let the little things go. Always communicate but don't be afraid to take a minute to cool off. Honesty is always the best policy but to an extent..... What I mean by that is that if its something that could hurt the other persons feelings have some tact in expressing yourself and go through it lovingly. Don't criticise each other. Support each other. Learn from each other. Don't degrade or disrespect each other. When an argument arises talk it out without cursing out the other person even when you are so upset you feel like ripping their face off...... ha ha. There are always go and bad times but my husband and I have 4 kids and the best thing that keeps us happy is affection and laugh at the little things laugh anytime you can. Don't forget about the little things like flirting even if your spouse sometimes forgets be the initiator and blow their mind. Make breakfast in bed for them..... its really the little things.

Love never dies....the proof of this fact is manifested each day when the sun rises or you stop to hear a bird chirp. Love is all around us. What happens in my opinion is that people give up searching for it and longing for it. If you subscribe to the philosophy that 'the possibilities are endless', than so will your love grow over time. But two people have to be on the same page, working together to keep what they have fresh and new.

Just act like friends - best mates. Everything develops along from there. Even if you have a blazing row, you can still talk as mates but without the stress of pretending to be married. Its a good back stop.

For me, I remain thoughtful like giving gifts for reason, being spontaneous, go to an Inn or bed and breakfast. but if it's not there or if your partner does not want it anymore move on. If your married remember before you got married and use your imagination. If it's is important to you make the time.

I loved my husband until I divorced him. It takes 2 people to have a strong and loving marriage.

The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.
It's greener where you water it.
