Wouldn't love weaken over time? Would arguments spoil a relationship? Even if you do get married, what actually keep that spark alive? What is that single element that brings a couple right to the end?...

Of course it is. I think it only weakens if you let the spark die. I've been married a long time (4 kids in their 30's) and I honestly believe I love my husband more today than the day we married. It takes more than one thing to keep you going to the end. You have to communicate though, without that your in trouble, but you also need honesty, mutual respect and trust. And family always has to come first.

Yes i do. My husband and i were highschool sweethearts and been together for a total of 12 years but married 7 years and we have 3 children now. I don't believe that love will weaken over time because during that time u move foward and built a life with that person so the love will just grow stronger. Don't get me wrong not always is it peaches and cream at times i feel like ringing his neck ( lol ) but when all is said and done u realize it's just an argument and u move foward. In my family we have saying that we say it's kinda hard to translate the meaning but basically it says, a husband and wife r two enimies sleeping in one pillow, to sum that up for u what it really means is yes husbands and wives always will argue but at the end of the night still they will lay there heads together and share one pillow sleeping together so i guess to me thats the element that always brings the couples right to the end.
Happily Married

Yes, 35 years and counting. Love strengthens over time. As you live your life together you are making memories and sharing history. Happy memories to make you laugh and bad, sad ones that you got through, strenghten your bond. Arguments do not spoil a relationship when you are in a grown up loving relaitonship. You resolve your issues and get past them. There are as many things to do to keep the spark alive as there are people to think of them. There isn't a single element to keep a couple together. It's a combination of love, respect and always, always making your spouse #1 in your life.

Real love doesn't weaken, arguments will always reach a conclusion if both of the people involved communicate with one another, life is the spark and sharing in each other. The single element is true love, when its true its very possible to love someone until death and then some I would imagine.

Loving the other person unselfishly probably helps. I hope to be there. With my fiance I always think about not what I can get, but what I can give. This works equally in communication and the bedroom. We never tire of telling each other how happy we are to see each other. Only time will tell at the end. But it worked for my grandparents. I don't think arguments spoil a relationship. You learn through each bump in the road. If arguments spoiled a relationship, we'd have no friends let alone loved ones.

even when 2 people are in love(whatever that means) It can weaken over time, however it also means that this love can deepen over time, but you must put time into making this to work. Regarding "spark" Life is a spark, caring and nuturing the spark so it won't go out.mutual affection,loyalty and being each others BEST Friend.

If you love each other it will get stronger not weaker. I do not think that there is a single element rather all of them put together. You both work at it by helping the other through all the good and the bad that may come and go.Love and support.

Love strengthens through time. I mean that is for certain. When everyone can believe what they want in this world (most of the time), it comes down to what you feel and how you interpret your feelings in the present, past, and future. If you lived your life and had 5 passionate lovers all equally spaced, would you be as happy if you spent all those times with one passionate lover? It is a great question. The act of sex itself is overrated, the interpretation and emotion attached is the true beauty.

I believe we take 3 seconds to fall in love, but may take up more than 30 years to learn staying together. Thus, I believe it's possible to love someone till death, but not staying together without arguments. You can still love someone even both have different views.

oh yes definately you can love someone till death do you part, but truthfully, love continues for the person, even once they're gone!!
i believe that if 2 people put God first even before their spouse or loved one...it's the best. my parents have been married for 27 years and God is number one in their lives.
relationships have to be worked at and not just by one and not the other.
putting the other person before yourself is definately a key.
