Yep, I agree with you! It can definitely last if you are willing to make the committment. My husband and I have obviously been together for much longer than that, and I feel like I'm much more in love with him than I was during the first year we were together. Also, my grandparents have been married for 57 years, and my great aunt and uncle have been married for over 70 years (they got married when they were teenagers), and both couples still seem to be very much in love! :) I hope I can be that way when I'm that age too! hehe

Yes, I know what you mean. Love is a great thing, but it takes a lot of hard work. And yes, if you commit yourself, it can last a lifetime. At least thats what I believe.

i strongly agree with you meg109...love is not just a mere 4 letterword...it takes hardwork,patience,trust and understanding to last...pain and hurting may be inevitable but its part of the deal in a relationship...trials may come but if dealt maturely it will make your bond more stronger...a love worthy to last a life time...thanks meg109 =)

I totally agree. It depends on the people involved in a relationship. If you you are both willing to build a lasting relationship.

Ya i think love can last a lifetime,only if u commit urself toward it,some changes do occurs but if u try that ur love towards ur partner not gets over..love needs some commitment too,if u r not committed to ur partner then ur love will gets over in months itself

If we have a choice, we'll definitely hope for love to last a lifetime, or even for us, lovers, to outlast love itself.But here's one proven tip that will keep partners glued forever...put God in the center as you build your relationship and everything else will just fall into places.
