For me, it has not faded at all, and we've been married 41 yrs. I hate to go to work because I have to leave her, and I can't wait to get back home to be with her again. She feels the same way. That doesn't mean we've never had fights or disagreements (we've had some doozies), but the love has never faded. Even with saggy skin and creaky joints, I can't think of another woman I would rather share my bed with. Odd thing is, we only dated 5 weeks. We "just knew." She proposed to me and we were married 2 days later.

ALL relationships at the beginning involve the "butterflies"...thinking about him or her constantly, wanting to be with him or her all the time, intense physical attraction, etc.
I would say that it doesn't necessarily fade, it just changes into a more mature love. Basically, a relationship will ONLY last if what's left after the butterflies leave is mutual respect coupled with trust and communication.
For some lucky couples, the butterflies last forever. These are the couples who stay married for 50, 60, 70 years and you can SEE their love for one another.
Good luck. :)

What happens ten years later is respect and comfort at best. It is not 'love' as we know it; butterflies in the tummy and all. Intensity is fatefully destined to decrease over time as priorities change. It also depends largely on whether the couple have children or not.
Falling in love is special and normal. It is even encouraged that one should have unrealistic expectations of love, the courage to openly confess that they will love one another till the day they die and even to believe that their intensity of love will never fade.
Therefore, the trick is to keep your eyes wide open before marriage and half shut after...
Good Luck & God Bless

As time goes on, love becomes more comfortable. I dated my husband for 5 years and now we have been married almost 3. We still talk about getting butterflies. After awhile, you get over the infatuation stage, but it's not a bad thing. Sometimes I feel so much love for him still that it feels like my heart is going to explode.

RE:
When a man falls deeply in love, head over heels with a woman and get married...??
does he always feel this deep love for her, even 10 years later..?? does his love for her continue to be as 'intense' as it was when they first got married, and you still get 'butterflies' in your stomach, or does it kinda fade away over time

It depends on the man....and woman, I guess. Nothing in life is "guaranteed" but that doesn't mean that if the two married couple ever divorced, that the man would not still love her the same as he did in the beginning. Some people fall in and out of love and others stay in love.....it's really all by chance....and a lot of hard work!!! :)

In any relationship there will be ups and downs but if the couples work with each other, their will love for each other will grow more as time goes on. What happens in many relationships today, people stop communicating with each other. Then they begin to communicate outside the home. Take the time and really listen to the vows taken at a wedding. If couples stick to those vows, their love will last a lifetime.

I have been married for 5 years and I still feel the same way about my husband that I did in the beginning and so does he. We do things to keep our marriage exciting. We still date each other, send sexy text and email messages. We have our moments when we don't like each other, but it is something about the way that he still looks at me and it is hard to stay angry with him. We truly love each other and a love like this is NEVER going to fade. Keep respecting each other and appreciating each other and most importantly, we LOVE each other. Our love intensifies as time goes on. I know that he loves me more now than he did when we got married.

it depends on what the relationship is like and how healthy it is.
a relationship needs constant work to keep it going and even though your feelings wont change, they may ease in intensity over time but thats not to say that he/she doesnt love you the same, its just a greater kind of love that has grown.
i have been with my man for almost 3 yrs and i still get butterflies...not all the time, but my love for him hasnt faded and i dont see it ever going away!!!

My opinion is that nothing stays that way, not a watch, car, toy, vacation, or even a spouse...man or woman. This is regard \less of the looks or whatever, If two EXACT like-minded people should happen to meet, then possible, but I am sure it is not the norm. This is not to say love doesn't last forever, just not like it did at first.
