For Old Couples

I think the passion is still there. They just have to find it themselves. I guess it's because of the grandchildren which keeps them separated for quite long that made them believed that all the passion are gone. I think, the parents of the grandchildren are partly to be the culprit why this happens to them. I also believed that couples especially on their gray age must consume most of their time together. Because that is the time that companionship is very important, they need each other to talk more often. Sooner or later, one will leave earlier than the other. It should be a learning experience for all, that couples though they love their grandchildren, should maintain their privacy. Because that is the only time they can reminisce the past and profess their love over and over again.

Yes it is. I remember growing up that my mother and father did the same thing. As they got older they both had there own room and slept separate. My mom would complain about my father passing gas and my father would complain out her talking in her sleep. I think this is common in people as the years past, it's just that every body don't talk about it.

i think that could happen. when the body ages, its entire function wanes affecting its performance. passion, for example, is governed by the senses, so it is more likely to be affected. it does not actually mean they do not feel love, or its equivalent, but more than that, i believe it cannot be consummated.

As age progresses, passion or physical love becomes less of an issue than companionship. It is not just the a physical limitation. It is mental too. Young couples generally have minimal responsibilities. Their commitment is towards one another for the moment. In the long haul, care and responsibilities of starting and raising a family take a toll both physically and mentally. So even well adjusted couples have more of a mental relationship than a physical relationship. This does not mean that they do not have or cannot have a physical relationship. Only that it occurs less frequently, as it is not a priority.

I hope not. my parents are in their mid 50's and are still passionate about their relationship. I would hate to see them lose that passion 10 years from now.

Although young or old no couple would like for the passion to be over. Sometimes while we are in relationships we tend to take even the small things for granted. Then we tend to sort of either live in a routine and or separate. Sounds like your aunt and uncle care for one another and or do not want to live alone so they have resorted to live in a routine. But from what you posted they appear to all to have so much love. So perhaps they still care for each deeply just do not want to be with each other any longer and cannot imagine living alone. I wish them all the best.

i think over time, sometimes the romance may just disappear and what's left would be the relationship - more like friendship. I hope when it smy time, i would still have the same romantic feeling with my husband. hehe (when i get married)

I think it could happen.. because their relationships are now very very strong.. and also they loves their children.. hope for the best things happen in their life..
