to married couples.?

Question

do you still love each other like you did when you first met or has the novelty worn off
and knowing your married to whoever make you happy?

Answer 1

I have been married to the same woman for 31 years, so to answer your questions it's different for every couple.

Yes we still love each other, and the novelty never wears off.

Sure you will have your peaks and valleys, but at least you know your partner will be there for you through thick and thin ... and sleeping next to you when you wake up in the morning.

Answer 2

To say the novelty has worn off is already starting down the wrong path.

Instead it's more likely that you take for granted what you have. You (mistakenly) no longer feel like you have to court or show your best side or provide for the other's needs.

If you keep providing for each other's needs (and those needs will be different for each of you) then your love for each other will actually grow more than when you first met. With hope your weaknesses will be their strengths. Great question!

Answer 3

The only thing that's different in a huge way, is that we use to stay up all night talking! We still talk, but not all night anymore. We still do things for each other, just like we did early in our relationship. The novelty? Yes, after 15 years it's more comfortable, like a warm blanket on a chilly night.

Answer 4

Novelty wears off everything eventually. There's a difference between love fading and love dying. Love loses it's luster at some point in all relationships, but it's when you have grown apart and eveolved in different directions that it's time to reconsider the relationship. Life's too short to be miserable and stay just for the sake of staying.

Answer 5

I married a man who had been married before and the first and best lesson he ever gave me was the only thing you can expect out of marriage is CHANGE. Everyone changes as they get older, you've changed I'll bet, and to expect things to remain the same is absurd.

We have now been married nearly 12 years and we are more excited to spend time together than ever before. Our relationship is not the same but it is so much better. I wouldn't want it to be the same as it was. I like the change. :)

Answer 6

If your not careful it can ware off by both sides neglecting their relationship. But in my case I have been very lucky with hard work I have been married for over 9 yrs and I am more happy each day then the previous day. I love my wife very much and could not be happier.

Answer 7

"novelty" always wears off.
We still love each other deeply, as deeply as we did at the start.
But as you grow and mature, love changes and grows and matures as well.

We periodically do things to startle and amuse each other both in a loving way and in a sexually playful way.

Part of how he renews my knowledge of his love for me is that he tells me on a regular basis what I do that is so special for him, that makes his life happier and better and easier. I do the same for him.

Answer 8

I still love him as much, but it is diferent. In the beginning it's all about the passion and the newness, but then evolves into security and partnersip. We still have passion, and a great love life (we've been married 8 years now). I'm not sure of the word I'm looking for here. It's still great, but most of the discovery is over.

Answer 9

We just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary and 5 years together, I love my husband more today than I did the day we got married. There have been unhappy days but you have to work work work to keep a marriage going.

Answer 10

I still love my husband the same. But he's very different than he was. I am happy being married to him.

He would not say the same.
