A lot of people are baffled when I tell them we been together since 16 years old, Twenty years later we are both still madly in love with each other and our three children.
There really isn't a secret, but I did get this advice from my father in law years ago before he passed away, he told me in order to keep the love alive, Never Stop Dating your significant other and its great advice.
Every weekend we do something different and we make it so its just us, even if its a breakfast at her favorite diner, a matinee movie, or simply running errands together and making the best of our time has made our relationship better.
We have been together since 2007 and counting, my wife is my best friend and better half, I truly feel blessed to have met my soulmate at 16 lol.
Picture is my own

Aye.
Well done indeed.
An everlasting love.
It's true though, never stop dating.
It works
We are a bit like you two are, we do lots of different things and have been doing so for 28 years.
Yvonne is my partner, lover, confidante, best friend, and fellow adventurer
We just love each others company and the only people we really relate to are couples like you.
