The truth about long-term love.

That's the truth about long-term love. Really?

The thing is I am not sure Kerri can talk about the long term yet; we have been together for 44 years which is starting to feel like quite a long time, but fifty plus feels more like long term. Not sure about lurve (whatever love is as the man said), more like best friends, companionship, shared memories, children, grandchildren, endless chatting about books, films, the garden, shared interests, knowing what the other is thinking, wanting to spend time together etc

Oh! Yes Mamie, long term love, I have known my husband for 64 years, married for 60, and we still so enjoy each others company. Not sure, as you say if that is love, but it must be something that makes us the best of friends, good companions, and the ones we like to share the good and bad moments with. I sometimes feel quite sad for those young people who drift in and out of what is fondly called 'relationships'.

I agree with all of the above but still discover new things about my husband after nearly 42 years and, as we enjoy each other's compnay so much, I wonder about what will happen to the one left when the first one of us dies.

If you are with your husband for over 40 years, enjoy his company, and don't know if that is love then what is love if not that? Is it the media that is painting an unreal picture of what love is and do you believe it?

Love after so long, is friendship, respect and mutual support and of course memories of more passionate days!

I am no so sure about the passion!

That really great as per main thing needed in establlishing longterm relationship is mutual understanding between two partners.

I don't much about it but I believe in this.
