How true is Love ?

Question

Why does love fade away once a couple have been together
in a marriage for say two Decades ?

Answer 1

Love doesn't always fade away but if it does it is because the two people that fell in love years earlier allows life to get in the way. Kids are often put in front of the relationship. So when the kids leave home you have two people looking at each other across the kitchen table and wonder who that person sitting there is. It can be fixed but both people have to want to fix it. I'm going on 20 years of marriage and I love my children but they know they aren't first, my husband is the one who I go to bed with and wake up with until death parts us. Don't give up on love!!!

Answer 2

Love does not always fade away for every couple. There are a lot of couples who have been married for more than two decades and they are still going strong. I think the key to a successful marriage is keeping the spark alive and satisfying your spouse sexually, intelectually, etc. Anyone would get bored and tired of the same thing day in and day out for years on end!

Answer 3

You know that is a good question. I wonder that same thing myself. When my husband and I were dating we used to make fun of his parents because they would watch movies sitting on opposite couches or they never showed affection. We said we would never be like that. Here we are about 7 years later and we sit on seperate couches or were always doing something opposite of each other. The only thing that I can say is that I think everything isint new anymore and sometimes we take our loved ones for granted. I can honestly say me and my husband still love each other very much but the spark that we had when we were younger isnt there anymore.

Answer 4

It doesn't always, sometimes it just changes. But I always love hearing things like "After all these years I still get butterflies when she walks in a room" Too bad we can't all have that.... but don't be mislead, even couples like that have their tribulations... it's how you deal/react to them that makes the marriage "good"

Answer 5

Love never fades. it's one of those things like if you end up quiting you will always remember what you had w/ that person. you should try something romantic........take her out or make dinner yourself....she will see how much you want it to work.

Answer 6

Love stays the same it's people that change

Answer 7

Sex, or lack thereof. Thats my going theroy, there is no smoke without fire and likely no love without some sex. Because sex actually creates a chemical connection between the two of you, also its highly addictive :)
