Hey,
I am just wondering what you all think about this. I have known one or two couples who still seem really, really in love after all these years (like 30 years or something).
This is what I wish I could find ever. A man who loves to just curl up and snuggle on the couch after we get the kids to bed. Someone who SHOWS their love, not just says it. Someone not afraid to kiss me while we wait in line at the movie. Someone who likes to hold me, who enjoys the closeness.
I know, a lot of people say that the romance just dies after a few years, or especially after you have kids. Does this have to be the case? Can't you still be in love and happy to see each other each and every day and be excited to have your time alone when the kids are asleep?
Or is it just that you get too tired and don't even care anymore?
Are there any romantics left out there? I am not talking expensive stuff here. Just togetherness and love.
What do you think?

I believe romance can last forever, my parents have been together almost 50 yrs and they are still affectionate with each other and I have been married for 13 yrs and been with my husband for 15 and he is exactly what you describe, I got really lucky with this one, I was married before and it was bad, but I'm glad that I gave love another try, I feel that we will be together until death do us part, I couldn't image it any other way.

There are two ways to look at this.
1. You answered your own question. You, yourself, admit you know one or two couples that have done it. If one couple can pull it off, and thousands do, then it is possible. That said, just because a couple doesn't kiss while in line at the movies doesn't mean they are not madly in love. Don't cross the line between true romance and storybook fantasy. If you are looking for perfection, you're never going to find it when dealing with imperfect human beings. That doesn't mean that true romance can't last a lifetime, though.
2. Some day, even the perfect couple is going to die. Do you believe in the soul? If not, then romance can't last forever, can it? If you do believe in a soul, then who knows?
I can't speak for everyone, and I have not been married for 30 years or more. But I've been married for seven, and we love one another as much as we did when we first got together. It takes work. It takes effort. It takes communication. It takes sacrifice. Most of all, it takes realistic and rational expectations.

Yes. I really think that romance can last forever. Unfortunately, nobody seems interested in hearing about those kind of marriages, only ones that end in divorce. I know a few couples who are very happy together and have been together many years. And yes, I'm a true romantic myself. Love to show affection no matter when or where. Love all that good romantic stuff that goes with a good relationship too. You can e-mail me if you want.

I think sometimes it takes a lot of work from both people in order to keep the romance alive. Most people are too lazy with their relationships nowadays and that's why so many relationships don't last. As for myself, I would LOVE to have a relationship like that, but do I believe it'll happen for me? No.

It does happen. Where I work, we had a husband and wife also working there. They were inseparable, work together, go to and from work together, they were together 24/7. They lived in a 19' travel trailer, in a very cramped setting.You would always see them holding hands, their love was glowing. She just passed away about two weeks ago at the age of 69. He is 74. It was gut wrenching to see that happen.

I think that most people don't want to put in the effort to romance their partner. It is just like having a second job.

I think it's hard to find, but it is possible. It also takes a lot of work on both ends.
