are you willing do grow old with someone?

yes I am... I was just looking at my husband last night and smiling as we were getting into bed because I just realized how beautiful he was and how lucky I am.

Of course we will meet each others soul mate in the right time. But the quality of relationships today are deteriorating. How did this happen? Is loving someone and growing old with that special someone no longer exist? My answer is few couples survive I hope I'm one of them.

I would give it all up in a second for my family. I have been with my husband for 19 years and love him as much now as I did the day I met him, maybe more. Materialistic gadgets mean nothing to me but he is my entire universe. Let me have him and my kids and nothing else matters.

Oh yes, my husband and I met when I was only 18 and were married a year later. 8 years later and we are very happy. I hope that our love can last through anything and I think we are both willing to try. So far no problems. He is wonderful.

when my husband and I got together, we both said that we wanna grow old with each other...We both dont wanna be alone in our golden days, so we are sticking to each other Guess Im so lucky to have my husband, because I wouldnt wanna grow old and die alone...

Oh yes, me and my hubby had promised to each other that we will grow old together and spend the rest of our lives together.We love each other and we are happy being with each other and we try to make our relationship stronger and more stronger each day.

Hi nylnemnad, I am definitely looking forward to grow old with my husband! I know the time I accepted his proposal, I mean it lifetime and I feel so lucky each day having him and showering me with all his love,care,sweetness and kindness!

i have been with my husband for 12 years and well we plan on being together forever. it takes alot of give and take and meeting halfway to make it work but we do it. we plan for when the kids are getting out of the hosue etc. we talk to each other and stay honest with each other. we got married when i was only 20 years old and i told him then that once we are married we are stuck together cause if i say i do then i mean it lol. we have had our share of issues like anyone but we love each other and we married for love not money , or anything else. you are right though to many people change spouses like furniture it is sad. when there are kids in teh middle of it it is even worse.

Your post makes really think about relationships and the lasting of them. Is there such a thing as a long term relationship? If celebs had anything to do with it I am sure we would all have our '2 week marriage' and move on to the next person. Then again, I think they do alot of that stuff jut to keep themselves in the headlines! When you find that one person who is special to you, there is no doubt it can be a wonderful and life long experience. Is it easy? No even. But anything that is worth fighting for is worth working for. Thank you for the post and allowing people to think about who they are and the value of their relationships. That is something we sometimes forget!

I think, I do still believe on a quality of love even in this advent of technology. yes I am hoping to have somebody to be with me for the rest of my life. I say hoping for I dont see any guarantee with any relationship nowadays.

I would definitely like to grow old with someone. I am with my boyfriend for a couple years now and we love each other. When the time is right, we would like to get married. I can appreciate the art of true love and I am not one to just bounce around from relationship to relationship. I believe in sticking it out and really working at your relationship when things go wrong. At the same time, I understand that trust is also a big thing, and when someone breaks that, disrespects me, and takes me for granted recurrently, I don't see the need to stay in that relationship and it is time to go.

Not only am i willing but also in a relationship which i know is going to last a lifetime. I still believe in love and cant even imagine the word divorce! If you cant make it work it means you are not trying hard enough! Thats my policy!

hello, nylnemnad. i asked this same question in the"things i want to do with my life" catagory and started a new interest,"grow old with wife." read and respond if you like. everlasting love really does exist. why do you think old couples usually seem very happy together? i think it's because they found what many of us are looking for. the truth is they didn't find it, they made it happen. you see, the everlasting romantic relationships we see in movies, books, media, etc. aren't found the way they are found in fantasy stories and movies. i think these old couples learned to work hard at it to change themselves,(not each other) and learned work at it, work through all the hardships, lean on each other, and work at making there love grow into an unconditional(agape) love.(the love that God has for us). the problem with society, though is that we have become such a selfish, immoral generation that we are not looking at what we can give and put into a relationship. we are looking at what we can get out of it, so there is no balance. but don't worry about society and how you look to them worry about how you look to God and the one he gives to you.i'm still learning these things. good luck!p.s. i'm not a smarty pants, i've been doing a lot of reading lately and trying to build my relationship with God because i almost lost my wife 3 weeks ago.

yes i am willing to grow old with my loveing wife i said i would when i married her and i will continue saying i will untill the day that i die

I'm definately planning on being with my husband til one of us shuffles off this mortal coil. We've had 16 years so far, and whilst I'm certainly not immune to noticing other men from time to time, I've never had any desire to actually cash him in for a newer model. We suit each other just fine and hope we'll have many more years together getting wrinkly and ever more disgraceful :)

I am very much in love and don't see that changing. I am very willing to stay with only one man for the rest of my life and grow old with him, and I know he feels the same way about me. I am not interested in any other men, and I don't care if they were rich or the hottest guy in the world, because my man and I have such a special bond and connection that I know he is Mr. Right.
