i have been in a monogamous relationship (on my side, at least. hehe) for the past 7yrs. and though my boyfriend and i have problems, our relationship was mostly smooth-sailing. up til now there is sparks between us & we still act mushy with each other. what is the secret to this? and how do we keep the love in long-term relationships & marriages from fading?

you have to make the effort in making your partner feel loved after all those years. never think that she knows what you feel and hence dont need to say it or act it out. thats a very bad thing to do. other than that, stay as sweet and caring as you are when u first courted her, lol

you have to remind him always how important he is... how you got hooked with him.. never change your love.. and dont deprive him of the attention.... learn more ways to surprise him.
