I don't know one simple answer to this question? I do know that age, maturity play a "BIG" part of it! I have always loved my husband, I was instantly attracted to him when we first met. I have always been in love with him but I have never loved him as much as I do now, I have never appreciated him as I do now, I have never respected him as I do now, I can look back and see how we have actually grown together, we have developed into a couple a married couple. My husband has become more than my lover, my best friend, my confident, my worst enemy at times, he has actually become a part of me, he knows me the best inside and out. He seems to know exactly what I am thinking. He knows when I am feeling down or am sad, he knows when I am happy or mad, sometimes before I do! I guess the secret is just growing up and maturing, being able to see things in a whole new way at times, also from a different point of view or angle. Life with him was fun when we were much younger, now we not only have fun but it's comfortable and secure.

We have been married for a very long time and I believe our secret is not a secret. It is common sense.
We married after we discussed what we truly want out of life and found that what we want is not only possible but that we are willing to keep our feelings alive and never finding excuses to harm each other. We made it a point to discuss details and hammer out things such as who would do laundry and under what circumstances and so on and so on. We made it a point to discuss in good health and in bad so there would be no excuse later about selfish natures taking over when compassion is needed instead. We made it a point to discuss money, work, family, children, likes, dislikes, hatreds and so on. There are no bad surprises that way. We pay attention to what we say to each other.
The only thing we did not discuss was sex. We saved all of that for after we married.

CONGRATULATIONS! Wow, 27 years. Been married for 11 myself, together 12. I am so in love with my wife. She is the most super duper bestest. Okay, so I know I went childish with that one. I think my wife and I have a great marriage because we have learned how to compromise, we understand one another, and listen to one another. We also made a rule a long time ago: sometimes you have to agree to disagree. Your opinions don't always match, and that is fine! Don't argue over it. We also spoil each other. Sometimes I get home and I see something I mention wanting sitting in the house as I walk in. And I do the same for her. Just at random I will have flowers sent to her work, or chocolates...I could go on for days.
To sum it up, though, we have a truly happy marriage because we put each other first.

Complete trust. I have never once felt the urge to snoop through my husbands wallet or look at his contacts on his cell phone.
When you love someone you have to make a conscious decision to committ to always do right by that person
Never say hurtful things
Make time to be silly
Do not fight, you just don't have to. God did not put me on this earth to fight with my spouse. My first husband and I used to fight all the time. I will not fight. It is pointless (unless you are after the make up sex)
Respect each other, and respect yourself
and above all else, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
love, love, love each other. even when it is the "for worse" part of the marriage. We all have them.

Congratulations!
I make a point of telling my husband every day that I love him. We don't make a lot of romantic gestures - it's more the little courtesies and kindnesses by which each of us lets the other know that we are loved.
And we NEVER put each other down. That's an absolute no-no. Once when we were dating I said something mean to him and I saw a hurt look in his eyes that I NEVER want to see again.
Of course, my husband is easy to love, and that helps :)

Give more understanding, love and kindness! have open communication. Do not sleep on the night when there is misunderstainding between you too. It will make a big issue to destroy your relationship when left undone.
Try to broaden your mind on the bedroom topics such as sex to enhances individual desires. Have both of you try sex experiement to spice up your sex life not to be bored on regular sex activity. Have planned sex date at least every once in 3 months outside your home.
Happy 27th anniversary to both of you! May you more anniversaries to celebrate. Good luck...
