I think it is easy to fall in love I think the hard part is staying in love. Keeping those butterflies in your belly, keeping the passion there, keeping the fireworks, thats the hard part to me. I think its because we become confortable in our relationships and relationships become more of a need then a want. You need it because you have come to depend on your spouse. When really you should still want it. You should want the butterflies and what not. What are your thoughts? Is it easy to fall in love? Is it easy to keep the love? How do you keep the new, in love, first kiss type of feeling?

Hi,my friend, about love,I think so,staying in love is more importent than falling in love,it is hard,and you must pay your attention to it. You know,the love is like a seed,when you fall in love. And It is easy to put it into the soil,but you also should look after it,water it,fertilize it,and also give it the sunshine,avoid the stormy weather.that is importent,one day,it will sprout,grow up,flower,and fruit. Maybe you will lose the fresh feelings,and have some problems,so at that time you should be patient.I think the short absence can deep your love.the old saying ,absence makes heat grow fonder.Goodluck.lol

thanks for your response! Very well put! I agree. Love is like a flower ... you have to keep watering it for it to grow.

I think it is not so much because of the need. It's due to the fact that after a while, we get used to the existence of our spouse. His/her sight doesn't arouse the same sensation as it used to earlier simply because you see him/her all the time. Also, before marriage, when you used to go to see your spouse, you would usually have been in your best attire, and tried to look as best as possible. It's not possible to keep up that "heavenly" look all the time after marriage. Also, when we finally get our beloved one, we start taking him/her for granted. That is a major factor in reducing the charm of the relation.

Very well put! I was thinking about your response and thought to myself when we were just dating we looked forward to seeing each other. Now we see each other every day so there isn't any "longing" for each other. Thanks for responding!
