I am married to a wonderful man. I am very much in love but we have only been married a year. How do I keep from falling out of love and staying the way we are forever?

They say.. couples who play together stay together. Just never stop trying to have fun and check out new things Your relationship needs to evolve the sames as your life does. Just keep re-inventing your relationship along the way!
(I'm not just talk about sex here either.... so get your mind out of the gutter! lol. It could be simply things that you do together.. like you both join a gym, or play a sport together (we like beach vball in the summer)... or take a trip once a year to keep it real! Any kind of project that keeps you moving & growing and not idol).

Everybody has some great advice. Just remember that love is a commitment...there will be times that you won't like him or you will feel hurt...but at the same time you will still love him. Remember communication is key, if or when you have kids make sure you make time for each other, be open to new ideas, don't ever try to make him do something he isn't comfortable with and the same goes for you, don't do anything you're not comfortable with and make sure you tell each other " I Love You" everyday.

I believe that if you truly wish to stay in love with your spouse, in my opinion, would be to have the following in your relationship:
1 - Openly express your feelings - open communication is a very significant key factor to a successful relationship.
2 - Honesty and trust.
3 - Be each others best friend.
4 - Keep the romance alive - be spontaneous.
5 - Be sure to admit your mistakes, if you know you are wrong - nobodies perfect.
6 - Don't keep bringing up past mistakes - leave the past in the past, where it belongs.
7 - It takes two to make a marriage work - most problems can be worked out...see a counselor if need be.

You wont stay the way you are right now forever. You will get closer if you allow yourselves. You will, ideally, continue to love each other as you get comfortable and settle into your relationship and become not just lovers but companions, and lifelong companions if you let it happen. You will, I hate to say it, fall out of love, but if you look for them, you will find reasons to fall back in love again and again. Good luck and congratulations to you.

Definitely talking to one another often,trying new things together outside the home as well as inside the home and in your intimate life it will keep you close and growing with each other,always be considerate of each others feelings and needs and try to fulfill them all the time also you need to remember compromise and to remember that lifes not always gonna feel wonderful and either will the relationship thats why it takes work oh another good thing to do is never let your finances cause you to fight its one of the leading causes of divorce

Never, never,never forget why you fell in love. Never, never, never let him forget and most importantly........YOU must never, never, never, never forget what made you fall in love with him. Find little ways to remind him that you are in love with him......put his socks out for him for the next day's work......mail him a letter telling him how much you love him, and you think he is sexy, you could even pretend you are a secret admirer. Put post-it notes all over the house telling him that you love him, or to meet you in the bedroom in 15 min. Do not take for granted this wonderful human that has stood by you when you were cranky, held you when you cried, and loved you when you were so difficult to love. I know that I am lucky to have the man in my life that I do and I will never let him or ME forget that. As long as YOU remember why you fell in love and married him, you should be o.k.

Love isn't just a feeling, I believe its something that takes effort, commitment and its also a learned trait. Learn to love him no matter what and it will last forever!

Go on dates, keep that up, regularly (at least one set night a week). But also keep doing the stuff you normally do alone and with your own friends... too much time together can make a great relationship weak. Keep a journal now, so you can reflect back later!

Well it depends on your deffinition of love. If by love you mean the warm fuzzies and highness you get then well your sol. Marrige is a series of highs and cool downs. I dont always get the warm fuzzies after five years but I always love my wife. DO NOT THINK WARM FUZZIES AND LOVE ARE THE SAME! Warm fuzzies are a high and no matter what the drug you always come down.
