Is it true that passion fades after marraige?

A lot of things can fade after marriage, but they can be brought back. Marriage is hard work, and things do change, the married couple also change too as they become older. I have gone through stages in my marriage where I feel unhappy or feel that I am not as in love as I was, and so has my hubby. We worked together though and got through it and the feelings came back.

In my experience, mycharm88, passion does not fade with marriage, rather it fades when the parties involved grow apart for some reason. That is why I am a firm believer that couples must stay involved in each other's lives and do lots of enjoyable things together as a family unit. When each devotes themselves to other outside interests too much the marriage will invariably suffer.

Hi dear well i dont think so i believe that with passage of time u get more closer to each other u know more about each other and feel comfortable. u r right u may not be THAT enthusiatic as At start of marriage or b4, but it does not mean passion fades away and u know All nights are Urs

I think you just have to find the right person, someone who cares about you and committed to growing together, and working together, and someone who you love ofcourse. I mean, that's already a hard requirement. I think the reason why some people fall out of love in marriage is that they've never lived together before, never had to work things out together before. Then they start arguing, disagreeing, and if they can't agree to disagree and work in some compromises, things fall apart. so its about teamwork i guess. Ofcourse its romantic when people are dating and they only see each other every few days or in the weekend, but you have to find someone who really loves you, really cares about you, who can accept your weaknesses and flaws and be able to live with you day to day and love you no matter what, and that's a hard thing, but its the ultimate i think. I hope to be happy married or not married, its just wonderful to have someone really care about you for real.

Hey there, I think in some extent it might be true because I think for men, they always tend to work more on a relationship when they have to chase for the girl. when they are married to a girl, (marriage is the strongest, official bond a couple could possibly have) they tend to relax and that is when they show their real selves. However, some guys still works on the relationship so I guess you should look at your husband and know what kind of person he is. I hope everything's fine for you and your friend. CHeers.

Hello mycharm88, Everything need maintenance, just like the relationship. Sometimes, passion does not really fade after marriage. In fact, it will grow if both of you put in the effort to further your relationship. After marriage, there are lot more things which you can do, which you will not be able to do without marriage. And those things can definitely help to bring your relationship to a further level.

Sometimes it does, and sometimes it does not. It depends on the couple and how much they do to make their marriage work.

I don't believe passion fades after marriage, its true that after awhile you might not feel as passionate as you did when you were dating, because once you get married, reality sets in, and things change a little. Your having to deal with setting up a house together, and your finding out who the other person really is, kids may come along. But no matter, that passion is still there, you just have to work on keeping it alive, like having date nights, going to dinner, you need to try to do the stuff you did before marriage, its work, but if you truly love each other that passion will never fade. We've been married 5 yrs going on 6, and I can still look at my husband and remember the reasons I married him.

It's not so much that the passion fades; it's simply that the newness, the novelty of it all fades away, which naturally leads to things being less exciting. If both spouses are working and paying bills, they can be tired and being together becomes commonplace. Once kids come into the mix, the couple has even less time for each other, and much less energy. It doesn't mean the passion has faded, merely that worldly considerations often lead to things being pushed to the side. Couples need to fight hard and work hard to make time for each other as a couple - special dates to the movies or a romantic dinner - whatever they did before marriage they need to try to do at least on a semi-regular basis. Without time together to remind them of why they love each other, marriages can fall apart. It just takes work and a little bit of planning and time management - but I admit it's easier said than done.

Passion will be there as far as you love a person.It doesnt fade. when there are misunderstandings we should adjust with each other and when you truly love a person passion doesnt fade away.

It's true that passion fades with time. It is natural process, this fading of passion however does not mean that l love has gone, in fact love has taken deeper roots and now has gone into silent meaningful companionship and deep commitment which is more profound than passion. Love is stronger than even just by the mere touch of the hands with the cuddling and hugging. (no more passion for the act itself) but the love is stronger than ever. The fading of passion is biological just like growing old, you can't stop it, it's natural, but if what you have is true love then , the love has grown more meaningful because it transcends the physical plane. I hope you got my point. Good luck.

no..i don't believe it since i'm also married..but that's what she feels and i respect her...passion in my marriage life goes stronger everyday....it's just like the saying goes"it takes two to tango"...you both have to do your part to make your marriage work...

Yes.. All your true colours will be revealed.. You know exactly what and who your partner is. Staying in one roof may either be a good one or either wise. Good if your partner accept who you are or he/she get bored and just walk off.

I will share my married life experience to you mycharm. I am happily married for six years now. I just thank God he gave me the man whom i really really love. That passion your friend is talking about maybe that is the what we call "sweetness" of the couple, of course that will change a little bit but it won't fade, well it also depends to the person, because some people are not sweet my nature, some are sweet. You know mycharm, i believe a woman should do the initiation of what she want's her busband would do unto him. You do the first move, why not? you are married after all! Men only responds to what women will do to them. They only do the first move when they are courting but when you get married that thing will change but not fade. Before you get into marriage you discern the man you will live for the rest of your life so you won't regret.

Only if you let it. It will rise and fall some but the trick is not to let iet go away. there are always tricks and such but it is different for each couple and each person.

Yes, I believe on this. All things in this world has an end even love and marriage. The passion of marriage relies on two people which is the couple. It's up to them whether they want their relationship to last long. Certain factors can affect the length of a relationship such as fighting or arguing, misunderstandings, lack of self-control and respect with one another, etc.

OK, Mycharm, think of marriage this way. You get really excited about a pair of shoes. You buy them. Either the shoes become comfortable and are what you wanted and you grow to comfortably enjoy them, or they are not what you thought they were and when the passion is gone, there is no comfort either. The shoes do nothing for you. Then there is the third option, the shoes hurt and you wish you had never laid eyes on them in your life. I'm lucky, I have a comfortable fit. I enjoy my husband. Passion my not be intense, but love can be of great comfort when times are rough. Shoes that fit in the store, may not feel good when you get them home. Men may be great when you date them, but may not be when you live with them. Yup, men are like shoes.

sometimes thats what happened to my parents

hi mycharm If you find the right person and also be the right person to your right person, then will you can enjoy happiness. So far passion is concerned. Define what both you and your partner understand. Then look at your soul. think how old are you. have you lost some of your passion for life? If you get the answer in negative, believe me, for you, passion will never fade. To me everyday is new, and although its more than 25yrs i'm spending with my hubby, i have in fact more passion. but yes, we have to work on it to make everyday a really new passionate day.

For starters, I believe that now a days people are rushing into things way too early...that might result in marrying soemone that you don't truly know. Unfortunately some people still do not show their true colors until after they tie the knot. I believe that even after you are married to someone you are constantly learning new things about that person. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. Good because it won't be predictable, and bad because you may be thinking they were keeping things from you. As for the passion, I do believe that in some situations you lose that hot passion that you once had when you first started seeing someone. The reason being that it isn't new anymore. The feelings will still be there but I believe that once used to be lust is now truth and love. It is a different kind of love and that is why it doesn't feel the same but ultimately if you're with the right person, it feels just as good.
