Is passion able to last in a long term relationship?
Does being married take away the burning fires and steamy intimacy or can it last past the initial courting stage?

You really do like prying into personal information don't ya.
Now you work in a book shop, may I kindly suggest finding self help books on certain subjects which seem to have you intrigued.

I'll go over and look in the self help section then.
It is a forum and it's good to know what people think about these things.
The general consensus is passion goes as soon as the ring is on the finger, well that's what the joke books say.

I think after a while it does begin to die but its up to both of the partners to try to keep it alive. Spontaneity works well and I hear if you arrange date nights regulary that helps too.

Yes I watch Dr Phil laugh

Sometimes passion can last a long time if both people continue to work hard at the relationship. Give/take and communication BUT i dont believe most of us are ment to be with the same person all our adult lives. Great if it works for some but........ It has nothing to do with being married. JMO hug

I love the idea of date nights, sounds like fun.
I think anything that is fun can only be healthy for a relationship.

Hmmm well let me ponder for a tick...I personally think it depends on the couple, but passion is very much alive and important to us. I just hope I can keep the candle burning for the rest of our lives chickies well worth it i must say . So far it comes naturally. It's not necessarily something we do, but something we feel. peace

passion can still be there but question for you what happens if only one of the party is interested in this and if you work long hours thats what killed my first marriage too many hours to work and not enough time to spend with the wife

I know how you feel, women want you 24/7 when they feel like it, but also want you to work 24/7 to pay for their Westfield bills and then wonder why you're not around, but the neighbour on the dole is always available when needed.

gee the generalisations are coming out again.doh

Men are just as capable of racking up debt, spending money they dont have and I have heard of many more men cheating on women than the other way around. And Im not saying women dont cheat, some do. And there are also a lot of women out there working just as hard as the male in the partnership.

A relationship is what both partners make it, if either one doesnt want to make the effort, the other cant save the relationship.

I choose to differ in my own experience, it's usually the female who opts out after losing their mojo with the relationship.
Later on you hear women say they wish they had stayed with their hubby and not gone through the men pause and caused him so much BS.
