Meh.
This issue is too involved for me to discuss adequately on a message board.
I got married at age 21. By then I understood a few things about love. Specifically, love is not just a feeling. It is a commitment. The feelings & thrill you feel now will fade with time & become less intense. You may not even think you feel it any more at all, but it is still there. You just need to seek it out & fire it up in each other every now & then. That's where the commitment comes in.
When one of you begins to feel like you're in a rut, surprise your spouse with something different & spontaneous... Something you've never done, or don't think he/she will expect. Can be as simple as going sailing for the first time on some small lake, taking a hike to an historic/scenic spot you've never seen, or having candles lit & a nice dinner ready when he/she comes home from shopping on the weekend (doesn't have to cost a lot, just have a little thought behind it). I like to give the wife a foot massage & have a bath drawn every once in a while. Variety is the spice of life.
I've been married only once & my 23rd anniversary is coming up in June.
