Do you know anyone who has been married for a really long time and is obviously still head over heels in love with their spouse? Do they still get caught making out in the kitchen; do they still go on dates; do they make sure to not let the kids get in the way?
I'd like to hear some encouraging answers...

Yeah- my parents are that couple. This year was 29 years, and they still make out and slap each other's asses all the time. They call each other lover, they go out on dates- the whole thing.
I think that some parents get caught up in viewing the kids as something that pulls them apart, instead of together. Make time to do things as an entire family- have fun together!
Also make sure to spend time alone- go out overnight alone every once in awhile. My parents left us w/ my grandparents or a neighbor every year for at least the weekend.
Now that most of the kids are adults- we still love hanging out all together- we have soo much fun! I love that group- but I know what I'm looking for in a husband... a best friend. Someone you know you'll fight with, but will never be mean to. Always respect each other.

Yes, I think it is rather inevitable. At least with the married crowd 38 and under. Today there is something going on where women lose all interest in providing for their man's needs (or vice versa with men, but very rarely) in the bedroom. Old married couples still can be found obviously infatuated with each other, but read through enough Q&A on Y! here and you'll read about how there is supposed to come a time when the romance wears off and 'real' love sets in. Bullcrap if you ask me.
I'd love to give you encouraging news, but I'm heading there myself. To that point when it becomes inevtiable. I surely don't want that, but what to do when your wife no longer wants to have sex, or no longer shows you any affection, especially in public/ Like I said, there is something going on today. It sucks, it really sucks.

yes to all of the above
been married for 15 years plus together for 6 years before that so guess that classifies as a long time
we are still in love with each other after all this time - felines change over time but usually mature and become deeper
we do huggles in the kitchen much to our sons chagrin and yes to dates whenever we can get the opportunity
kids become very much a part of your relationship but making sure you have quality time together every so often so you can both take care of your relationship

No honey. The emotions ebb out but the responsibility of marriage doesn 't. That is why marriage is not for kids or the immature. It is for adult who know it will not be easy and there will be temptations to over come and maybe some set backs, etc. Don't dwell on emotions, they just get you started, its your commitment that keeps you going. It's not that bad unless you make it bad. Both of you have changed and have adapted and have nothing to regret. Hang in there. Go on a date together if you want, do what you want with each other. Make time for each other. Make time for the kids. Make time for yourself. It is up to you what you make of it. Good luck

My parents are actually just what you described. They have been married 30 years and are probably more in love now than they were when they got married! My dad goes to my mom's office to eat lunch with her every day, they hold hands, cuddle on the couch, and a few years ago I actually DID catch them making out in the kitchen (although they don't know I saw them!). Marriage can last forever, but you have to keep your commitment to each other, and continuously show your love for each other throughout the years! :)

Both of my grandparents have been married for over 50 years. They are happy and sweet to each other.

Most couples are like that..
They are too busy enjoying each other to tell other people about it...
You have to constantly work on your side of the relationship to make it work....
