My bf buys me flowers for no reason, and presents for bdays and vday and all the rest.
Do you think that he will stop after he thinks he's really got me?
One of my friends and her partner have been together for such nearly two years and still buy presents and are really sweet and caring for eachother.
However another friend of mine and her partner who have been together about a year and a half longer fight a lot and he didn't even say happy valentines day.
Do you think that the love and romance gets lost from all relationships over time, or just some people.
If the romance is lost..... do you think the relationship is 2?

Yes, most couples do lose the honeymoon stage unless they work to keep it. It has less to do with either of them thinking they've "got" the other and more with allowing other things in mundane life to take over and taking for granted that you've got a partner you really dig and who digs you back.
It doesn't always happen though...some couples are honeymooners for their entire relationship, but that's more the exception than the rule.

I am taking a course in marriage counsiling. I'm cousiling a couple right now who are in the same rut. She assumes he dosn't love her the same any more, he just needs some verbal go ahead to be romantic. Instread she feels rejected and he inturn feels he isn't measuring up. Its a vicious cycle. I have learned that there are 5 definite stages of love and what you consider the luvy dovy honeymoon stage is not an actual stage. Its a series of actions that takes BOTH persons. the "When he's realy got me stage" is the real kicker. The only advise i can give you is make sure when this wonderfull stage of closness occures VERBALY confirm your need to be courted and romanced. If a man is this comfortable and loves you they will bend over backwards for you. If the romance is lost it takes two to bring it back. It takes work, not just the hope it will one day flourish again.

You get what you put into it, this is the same for both partners. The romance does fade sometimes and it also comes back. Work and family can sometimes put stress on a relationship but both partners need to help to make a relationship work. This can be done by taking the time out of a busy schedule to stop and show we appreciate the ones that we love.

most relationships do lose some "fire" after about 1 year. but then again most couples aren't together for the right reasons and just aren't right for each other. i have found my true love and i am truly compatible with him. and i believe that we will never lose that spark. call me crazy but if you find your true soul mate you will feel like your always in the "honeymoon" stage. i know i am.

The "honeymoon" stage comes and goes. It will stop and then something will happen to make it start up again and it goes on and on like this.

everyone is different. as time goes on in a relationship it gets harder and harder to keep focused on the important things in a relationship. just try and keep communicating to one another and let them know what you want and that way you know what to expect.

romantic love does change after being with each other for a time but it does not die unless you want it to
