Long lasting love

I've been totally completely in love with my husband since the very first moment I laid my good eye on him .. he was well worth stalking for those two weeks . 35 yrs later, I still want him ! It hasn't always been easy but we learned early on to talk not bitch, to stick to the problem at hand, not what happened 2 months ago .. to put up a united front with the kids and to make time to have alone time with eachother and to realize that with age comes change and accept those changes with a smile on our face. Choose your battles ! It"s crucial that you choose your battles, squeezing that tube of toothpaste in the middle or putting the toilet paper on backwards is nothing ! No reason to bicker or fight over that petty bullshit. When it comes to money , sit down with a cup of coffee and figure it all out together . Its really common sense if you think about it, treat the other person the way you want them to treat you and believe in karma , cuz its real ! LOL As for sex , it only gets better ! Who else knows you and your body better ? Who else can you completely be yourself with ! No awkward silences, no one telling you " NOT LIKE THAT ! " , no wondering when they'll get up and get the hell out HAHAHA .. Sex is best when its with someone you are comfortable with :love:
So I have to say YES ! It is possible

 

My wife and I have been in love 23 years now, married 21, and still growing more in love.

I think there are 3 facets to true love; 1) Lust 2) Respect 3) Commitment. If you lose any one of these three, you will "fall out of love". Lust is important to keep that sexual spark glowing in the relationship. If one partner is no longer interested in sex with the other, the relationship will die. If you lose respect for your partner, you will no longer have that lust for them and your commitment will die. If you are not committed to your partner, they will do something that pisses you off and you will leave them. Expressing these sentiments with all the different forms of communication is vital to a healthy relationship.

A few days ago, I called my wife from work to tell her I was thinking about her, and she said she had stopped by the pound and saw a dog she wanted. We already had six dogs, so she was asking me for permission to get a seventh. She already understands that I kind of think that number of dogs is ridiculous and she has to take care of them, although I have done quite a bit of work for them like fencing the back yard with a seperate dog run and occasionally cleaning the dog run. So I thought about it for a minute and told her it would be okay to get the seventh dog. That evening we were at our local fast food restaurant, a small family owned business, and I said I wanted an order of fried dill pickles. My wife was standing right beside me and said "No way, we are not getting those!" right in front of the girl at the cash register. Now if you know men, you understand that this was an afront to my manhood, especially after I had just told her the same day we could get another dog which was going to cost me at least $2000 over the life of the dog.

I thought about this for a day, why she would react that way, and came to several conclusions. 1) There is a history of heart problems in my family, and my cholesterol is on the high side. 2) She did not want me to eat the fried dill pickles because she loves me and wants me to stick around this place as long as possible. So I talked to her about that, I had given her permission to spend $2000 and the same day she had denied me a $3.50 order of fried dill pickles, but I realized it was because she cared about me, and she confirmed my conclusions.

As you can see, without respect for her and commitment to our relationship, something like that would have driven a wedge in our relationship. These things happen all the time in a relationship, and without lust, respect, and commitment, they drive us apart.

 

my grandparents have been married nearly seventy years

they still love each other very much.

my granddad gives my nan a kiss everyday.

 

All I will say is yes.

 

Love lasts longer than Lust - and 'back in the day' there was a stigma for not remaining married through the 'bad old days' so staying together isn't such a big thing and only becomes tricky when money (/Children) are involved.
I guess Loving someone and being in Love with someone are different and only the individuals themselves could define their standing

 

It's definitely possible. I think that sex, money, and trust are the biggest factors that can make or break relationships. If you and your partner can manage these things then everything else is easy. The way to manage them is to openly communicate about everything. There are no secrets in a healthy marriage. Being "in love" is not just a silly term. I love my kids and my parents and a bunch of other people but the only person that I am "in love" with is my wife. Sure, there have been rocky patches over the years but we worked through things and in the end we still felt "in love" with one another. It doesn't just happen, though. Both people have to be committed and sometimes sacrifices need to be made. It can feel like work at time but the benefits are worth it!

 

For some reason I find it funny that this nice post came from someone named 'asslicker'..

 

Love lasts as long as you are willing to love.

 

I'm also "in love" with licking her ass. Originially I joined the forum to mainly discuss sexually natured topics and named myself appropriately. However, I'm also capable of love!

 

The secret to any long lasting love and marriage partially is to keep each other happy. If that means licking ass, I'm all for it.
