Why Does Love Fade with Age?
When you watch a movie or read a book most of the time they end up the same way, living happily ever after. There are hardly ever any cartoon or love stories where the Prince Charming cheats, abuses, or lies to the girl. If there were would we even let our children or ourselves watch them? I for one probably wouldn't. These things however do happen in real life here on Earth.
Usually when you meet someone and you start dating them they seem near perfect. Later in the relationship you change some and so do they. You may become fat or fart a lot who knows. When these changes happen though does the love have to change with it? Just because your girlfriend doesn't weigh 120 like she used to or always fix her hair and wear make-up. Should you stop buying her flowers or taking her out on the weekends?
I for one don't think it should. Do you really love that person less, I doubt it. Do you hate their habits of looks now? Maybe some of the bad habits, but for the most part you still love all the things that made you fall in love with him/her. So why is it that most of the time we do less things together.
I know that when I started dating my boyfriend almost 5 years ago he bought me flowers every month, took me out every weekend, and pretty much worshiped me. Now he doesn't even hardly call anymore to tell me he is going to be late. I have to be the one to call him. For our first valentine's day together I had a rose waiting in all my classes with a beautiful card. At the end of the day I got two dozen roses and a perfect dinner. This year I didn't even get a happy valentine's day honey.
Maybe, it's because I am still young or maybe it's because I am a woman. Either way should an aging relationship lack romance? I don't think so. I believe the longer the relationship the more passion there should be. You know each others strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. You should use that to make the other happy. Stay passionately in love no matter if you have been together for 50 years.

Post a CommentJust an observation from someone who has been married for 25 years. Sometimes people go from a 120 pounds to 200 pounds because they stop trying. They take their partner for granted. Some times the other person stops buying flowers or doing romantic things that they used to do because they too take the other person in the relationship for granted. Relationships take a lot of work. Anything worth having is worth working for.
