Is this normal

Unless you're part of a relationship, you can't tell what's going on there. A couple I know were the ones everyone said were perfect for each other and totally happy. They divorced after thirty-eight years! Now they're both in happy new marriages. Seems impossible, but a lot of couples split after very long marriages. Our lives change constantly and, unless we keep our relationships on track, we might grow apart. Having a greal of respect, friendship and trust behind the love will usually do the trick! It certainly works for my husband and me.

ok, first off.. love is lifelong. second, love is work. love is effortless and all who has felt love's graps knows that it knows no bound and is not the least bit prejudice. but sometimes love fades and that is that but sometimes love hides and people when people think it has left. this happens in relationships that have blossomed into years. but like i said, love is work. and love is efforless. that first time when we lay eyes on the other, our skin swells and it itches to be touched, that is effortless. but after years and years of that same day in and day out, sometimes it becomes day to day. people don't understand that relationships are work and you need to work in order to make the other person happy, as well as they should you. in my experience it was when i wasn't looking for love when i found the woman that i want to be with for the rest of my life. my advice to you is that just because you were skeptical doesn't mean you should expect failure and just because your friends may panic when faced with the possibility of forever doesn't mean you have to. it is normal to be skeptical. you just have to ask yourself, would you cease to be able to breathe? if so, it's love.
