If so, how long have you been together? How do you keep your relationship fresh?
If not, what do you think is the cause?
I am still madly in love with my husband after 7 years. He is the most wonderful man. He is honest, humble, hard working and very considerate of my feelings. He is a good provider and a protector. He is also a wonderful Father to our sons and a wonderful step-father to my grown kids.

I am and I will forever be. I always appreciate the things that she does for me everyday. She always makes me comfortable and happy whenever I'm with her. My life now is very smooth flowing due to her lovely presence. She is indeed an angel from above. Love her.

Hi there girlgonefishing! My husband and I has been married for almost six years now. I am still madly in love with him. He is responsible, fun to be with and talented. He's honest and respectful. I think what keeps the relationship lively is the open communication and having complimenting interests that gives us things to talk about and the love of God. Another important factor in our relationship is our son, who is the result of our love.

That is such a good biography of your hubby! I will not give the exact time, but we have been together over 40 years, and we are like the people in the song about "two sleepy people" who don't want to fall asleep as they still have much to say to one another. Unlike the couple in the song, however, we don't smoke.
We don't do anything special to keep our relationship fresh, but we have similar values and believe in doing the right thing. That always commands respect, and I think mutual respect is the cement that holds relationships together.

You know what, I don't know what you mean. LOL I had a hysterectomy when I was 23. BUT, I do kinda know what you mean because my hubby is in California right now visiting his father in the hospital and I hate him being gone and not beside me at night. He left Friday and I have hardly slept!

I wonder how he felt when i visited my mom in Kentucky since my mom had to move last year and i was oh so close to her now 900 miles away with both my grandparents that arnt in good health, so i might not see them agian which saddens me the most, but i went for two weeks and he called me all the time and got mad if i talked to mom while he was on the phone. He got over it though when i got back lol. Its like we grow closer and closer. We dont do all that you stated above maybe but i do get him up in the morning and make coffee for him, get his son up for school and make his sons lunch, stay home keep the house clean, and cook dinner, watch his sisters kids when she goes to look for a job and will watch them when she gtets a job, He does dishes and cooks sometimes when hes not working. I dont do flowers yet b/c we dont have our own house yet but will have lots of them when we do, i am tring to get up earlier to cook breakfest but it doesnt happen that way, LOL. He doesnt buy stuff for breakfeast anyways. Hes a tight wad, but i know in result i will be spoiled even more later (i am spoiled now just not as much finacially) life is good and only will get better, i couldnt really ask for more except for maybe a good girlfriend. He'll be home soon, and it'll be that much more for the time apart.

I will have ben married 47 years come October , I met my hubby 50 years ago , he is still my best friend and he still makes my heart flutter , Our secret is to have no secrets and talk things through , I hope we have a lot more years , I almost lost him 18 months ago when he had complications when having a triple heart bypass , I thank God every day that he spared him xx

That's so beautiful! You made me cry! My husband is in California right now with his father because he is having yet another heart surgery. We live in Florida and he is so far away from me right now. I can only imagine what his mother must be going through after 60 years of being with his father. BTW, his father had triple heart bypass over 20 years ago and he has made it this much longer. He is expected to make it through this surgery too.

Well from this discussion it looks like your percentages are wrong. I haven't had one single person say they weren't in love yet. There are even a few guys in the mix. Oh well, percentages or not I'm still madly in love with mine. I hope you find a woman who will love you just as deeply and you are happy for the rest of your life with her.

Madly in love? No not after 12 almost 13 years. But DEEPLY in love? YES! I love my husband more than words could ever express. He is a jerk some days and I am a royal b%&^% some days but we work. I think there are many factors that go into our relationship, the first is we know how to fight. We never attack each other personally, we fight sometimes but we never call each other names. The other thing is we are friends, truly. I can and do tell him everything.
The best thing is we laugh with each other even, you know, (wink, wink) when we are haveing a moment! Its the greatest!

Oh that sounds like a VERY good man. My daughter was still living at home when my husband and I married. She moved out a year later and my son moved back in. LOL My husband was very patient and very good with both of them. He is also a VERY good father to the two boys we adopted two years ago.

We've been married for almost 5 months now so we are still in the "honeymoon" stage.
I can say that we can compare our relationship to a dating couple. The only difference is that we lived in the same house and we get to see each other more often unlike before.
We still do the sweet little things for each other and we find time to watch movies together and going to the malls. In this way, we managed to keep our love for each other going.
I think it's best for couples to find time to show your spouse how much you love them and still do the things that you do when you are bf-gf. Or suprise your spouse with a few things that she/he will love.

Yes! Yes! Yes! we have been together for 5 years and i absolutely love him. I know that people say that fighting is healthy for a relationship but I have not had a single fight with my husband the entire time we have been together and it is wonderful!!! We respect each other and value the other's opinion. We make decisions together and where I am weak he is strong. We balance each other very well. we share the same morals and the same goals in life and we both actively try to pursue them. we lift each other up and dont criticize or judge one another. we both have faults but noone is perfect. We are very busy with the kids and life in general but we always make time for each other. We go to dinner and a movie at least once a month just to get out of the house alone from time to time. At least once a year we have a vacation alone even if just for a long weekend in addition to a vacation with the kids. we are affectionate and loving with one another and i love, love, love him.

Yes, I still very much love my husband. We are both stubborn and difficult but we love each other and try hard to make it work.
Last year was very trying but we are taking steps this year to make things easier. Our relationship has a lot of outside factors and always will. We both have been married before and have children with our exes, plus one together.
His job (military) can also be very stressful for us, but like I said...we work hard.
We have been together for 5 years. We have had our ups and downs like any other family. We have common relationship goals and common interests so that helps a lot.

Without a doubt I am. Curling up next to him every night or laying in his arms as I nod off to sleep is the favourite part of my day.
It has been around 5 years that we have been a couple but I have known him for nearly 20.
It is lovely to hear that you and your husband have such a happy and living family.

My friend, my partner, my confidant, my lover. We share everything together. We have the same hopes, dreams and goals. He makes my life complete.

Yes, I would like to think so. After being with my boyfriend for almost 4 years, and we also had our share of ups and downs but were still together. We cannot let the day pass without having a chat on the phone or online. It's very important for us to communicate and I think that's what keeping our relationship stronger. He's a wonderful person, considerate and loving person.
