Doesn't marriage , destroy love and take the magic away from romance? (56)
I was in conversation with a friend's 88 y/o Father, recently. He told me, he and his late wife were married for 47 yrs, never stopped holding hands, kissing, walking arm in arm, doing things with and/or for each other, teasing, arguing - the rule was to make up before going to bed, to NEVER go to bed angry, etc.
He said she was the love of his life, she has been gone for ~ 10 yrs and He still misses her deeply.

I HATE the arguing part. Is it really nessasary to argue with some one you relly love?

Yes but it's how you argue that counts...I much prefer discussion and compromise myself...if you never address any problems your relationship is doomed cause every relationship has them and anyone who tries to tell you they don't...is in denial....

Exactly.
I hate the arguing part as well.
But the fact is marriage is composed of two different people, not clones.
This means the viewpoints are also different.

No, it's not. I hate arguing, and I'm with you on missing the kissing, snuggling to watch TV or a movie, slow dancing, or even just sitting in separate chairs doing other things while watching TV together. I'd love to find someone to cook together with...never had that one, really. Either they cooked or I cooked, but never have I found someone I could work together with in the kitchen. Maybe I need to add that one to my list.

Agreed, Shel.My marriage was excellent for a very long time. It was the happiest time of my life. I loved it and miss it now. Getting married didn't take anything away from the romance or destroy our love. I look forward to getting married again someday. It's a wonderful thing!

Hi!
It's a good thing right? To me, getting married was just another way of telling the world that I love this person and I'm sharing my life with him! How does that kill the romance?
Let me get married first and then I will tell you...Wednesday74: Hi! It's a good thing right? To me, getting married was just another way of telling the world that I love this person and I'm sharing my life with him! How does that kill the romance?
its a very good thing, i was married for 23 yrs, still great friends with her, and looking back it was the best years of my life, would like to try again with the right girl, and give a million percent of myself to her.
javid1964: I think marriage destroys love , it brings expectations , and puts love in a formal frame., but love can not be framed. Love is free and wild, 
One night stands are free & wild.
Love is deep, and meaningful, and nourishing, and secure. And then it's free & wild too.
Two can achieve it without commitment(marriage) too, but not likely.

So ditch the expectations and focus on nurturing the love rather than fitting it into a mold. You are two people living as one, so it's very important to respect both halves of the whole and not just your half. If you can manage that, you'll likely find that marriage is about the coolest thing in the world. JMHO
Well said Karen!
