Do people really forgot the love from their partner after some time?

we have been married since 1985 but love still lies.we have a story as it is more than 25 years old relation we have two sweet kids one is 24 and the other is 22

maybe they are just always near each other so they argue much. i dont know. but sometimes maybe they are only stressed with their job or other problem. anyway it always be ok sooner or later if there is true love shared between both of them. also if there wasnt any arguement the relation would end bcs argue is part of love someone too^^ but sure not all the time^^

hello asxenon! i think it depends on the couple in question, whether they are the type who will let the daily humdrum of life, petty problems in the family and other obligations affect the quality of their relationships. I don't think that couples voluntarily forgets their loving past. Its just that they let themselves be drag down by the problems at hand, thus they tend to forego the loving relationships they once had and opted to square it out. Sometimes too, the longer the couple lives with each other, the more they get to know that the person they married is not the person they really want to spend their whole life with. And so they get disillusion, which pushed others to betray their partners. Others who still believes the sanctity of marriage opted to rebel and seems to blame everything on their partner, provoking her/his anger in turn. It really depends on the couple to stay loving as they did before long after their marriage vows have been taken. It is so nice to see real old people, still holding hands as they walked in the parks together, whispering to each other like teenagers in love. But so rare one would see such couples nowadays. It is indeed much more common couples yelling at each other, or couples doing things separately, not even speaking. so sad, but that is the harsh reality for people who let their love for each be lost in the daily momentum of family obligations and responsibilities.

...i think there is a point in a relationship where you got tired of things, of loving, of doing the same thing everyday..yes it is great to stay loving each other, but by nature human are weak with regards to temptation which is the main factor that can affect relationship and also human tends to unsatisfied with the things he got within his grip...in relationship, the hardest part is not how to start or begin but on how to keep the fire burning...

I really don't have much experience with love. But I don't think that we really forget the love from our partner. Maybe sometimes, because you are always together your partner and they start to look for something different in their life. Maybe it helps if once in a while the couple will go out with their friends without their partner. So far one of my guy friend who is married said that he once encountered sometime before that he had fallen out of love with his wife. He told me that he woke up and just didn't feel anything for his wife. Then he said , he remembered his marriage vows so he really make an effort to renew the love again. So far now, it seems that he really love his wife.

What i wanna to mention here is that quarrelling does not stand for their love being less. You know couples live together for so long time, they know each other completely, such as strong points and short points. If they do not deal with these disadvantages, then they will have different ideas about some small matters. My best solution is that they should maximize strong points and minimize short points. It is just in this condition, they can live happily with deep love to each other.

I think when people have been with each other for a long time, they begin to notice things about each other that they don't like, or that they are annoyed by. When this happens, a lot of couples split up, as it's too easy to see the bad things and none of the good things anymore. It's more important to make sure that couples still do things together like they used to do at the beginning of the relationship. If they make sure that those continue, things should be okay providing you're a good match.

Hi, For me, I will always love my husband and my love to him won't never change.We do quarrel sometimes and it is pretty common for couple to have quarrel after marriage. As long as we will patch back after a while and life still goes on. I do understand that some couples may find their love started to get stale and no chemistry with each other and quarreling started to come into their life. It means they don't love each other so much. If you really love your partner with your whole heart,the love won't change no matter where you go.

It is normal for any couple to quarrel sometimes. That doesn't mean that you don't love each other anymore. I always love my husband eventhough sometimes we quarrel and we have some misunderstandings.

They said love really failed, I don't know how true is this but I think based on my observations I 'm afraid it's correct. They said for couples who had a lasting relationship the thing that they preserved most is companionship. It's like because of the friendship that you built it will served as a strong foundation to keep the relationship until the end.

You know married couple do this only when they have some misunderstanding but it doesn't mean that they are loosing the love for each other. I don't know but it seem so natural even for friends when they start to live in one roof there are certain times that they can't avoid quarreling.But me and my husband see to it that before we sleep we settle the indifference so that when we wake up the following morning, we are smiling at each other and sweet again.

I've seen that happen too.., and i am deeply saddened with this reality that hit me.., that it can actually happen to two people who were so crazily in love.., I don't want this to happen to me and my partner.., i think it can be prevented though.., depending on each of you.., if you can control your temper..,then shouting will not be necessary to prove your point right? =)

It is really good if couples stay in love with one another after a long time. Yes! there maybe times that they do quarrel about small things but I guess they are just adapting to one another what is important is that they are open in accepting the faults and their mistakes and then changing for the better. Relationship is really complicated, at first everything is okay and then yelling happens.

I do not think that is the case with everyone. There are people who love each other for as long as they live. It is about renewing your relationship everytime it gets boring and mundane.

When couple start to fight over small things, It's the communication that's lacking. We should talk to our partner more often. Learning to say "I love you", "thank you" and "I'm sorry" are just words that could soften your partner's heart. We should learn to discern and avoid the things that could ignite your partner's anger. As for me, I have always keep this as a reminder since the day I married my husband... "Love him for what he is and love him for what he's not." It's enough for me to fully understand that LOVE should be unconditional and selfless..

I don't think that our love for one another is forgotten overtime, people or couple quarrel due to some indifferences not resolve since they were not able to sit down and reached out for each other. Ignoring one's feeling and not hearing them leads to resentment and eventually fight over small or big things but this doesn't mean that love has already been forgotten. As couple we should never forget to nurture the love we should take care of it as a mother takes care oh her offspring.
