Do you believe that romantic love can last forever?

It seems like a myth if you consider the definition that love comes with lasting passion and with a cloud in your eyes. However, i believe that true romantic love can last forever, not the overly romantic notion of being in cloud 9 always, and forever feeling that physical passion for one another. But genuine love that accepts the other beloved's positive and negative traits and loving both. It's the romantic love that can be achieved through hard work, constant communication, sincere sharing, and true love. You can make your romantic love last forever, but it takes, grit, determination, ability to compromise and be understanding of each other's faults, And, this is very important, ability to understand that passion (l_st) naturally fades with time, Losing your se_ual appetite does not mean you have stopped loving each other. It only denotes that your body is normal, as it's responding to the inevitable aging of your physical functions. Passion does not last forever but love can. What are your thoughts on this?

With love I don’t think there is a thing called romantic love romantic is being intimate with someone physical. Love doesn’t have to be physical since love is an emotion that you feel. I’ve been married for almost 12 years. Yes we do love each other very much but what keeps our love going is the fact we have done through tons of stuff have killed each other yet. Yes commitment is key and knowing how we each feel.

Wow! that's awesome. 12 years is something one should be proud nowadays. I do hope you continue to love each other - forever. You have a point there, yes, that's true. Keep going and I'm cheering you on.

@Jenaisle no need for cheering we have been through a lot already so 12 years is really nothing compared to some other couples. My parents have been married a lot longer then me and my husband 30 plus years

The first romantic love doesn’t last forever but it grows into a deeper caring love that does last forever.

@jstory07 That’s what everyone wants but some couples never experience that togetherness.

Honeymoon is one thing, loving someone, understanding, trusting every day of the year during all your life is another matter. It needs a lot of patience and a lot of understanding. Love can last forever, I agree and I am married from 50 years.

Rightly said. I agree to what all you said. It needs a lot of work from both sides to keep the love alive as passion, looks fade away. Very nice post

Yes, it takes a lot of work, which some young people have still to understand. To maintain a happy marriage, you have to work hard at it.

I see, sometimes, it's better to live according to your preferences.

It can happen to some and in reality all of us wants that kind of love but there are unexplainable circumstances which partners fails and will result to separating ways. Partners are lucky enough if they know how to take good care of their relationship. But to some it doesbt work out smoothly and separation is the best solution. Only time can tell to some .

Yes, it has to take both partners to agree to let the relationship work. There's nothing anyone can do, if the partners fail to reconcile with their differences.

I have romantic love with my husband. He opens doors for me and buys me surprises all of the time. We hold hands every where we go.
