Do you think you can be married to someone for 20 or more years and still love them?

45years, 8months - of course we are still in love

Yes , OOPS. Yes for the second time.

Still doing it so yes!
My wife & I are living proof of that! We've been married over 25 years, have raised our two wonderful boys, and are empty nesters now, looking forward to retirement and travel together!

@ElwoodBlues Congratulations on maintaining a happy healthy nuclear family for your children. Society needs parents who raise their children together.
@PinkMoon Too true! And for us, children are part of the glue that binds us. Shared love and concern for them, conversations about them, etc; are an integral part of our relationship.
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
@ElwoodBlues This fills me with joy and hope for the future.
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
Yes I’m married since 1997. A lot has changed even us but I still live her. I guess she still loves me. We are so busy raising grandchildren now for our daughter. It not easy.
PinkStarburst · 56-60, F
My best friend just lost her husband of 51 years. Yes, you can still love them fiercely.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
50 years and counting here.
HumanEarth · F
Yes, very much so. I'm almost to 30 years myself. It still feels like love to me.

I will do to what I have to do to protect them with everything I have inside of me.
We've just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and I still very much love my wife.
Whether it's reciprocated or not only she could answer, sometimes her voice says yes but her eyes say no. But on occasion when there's love in her eyes, my heart soars.
Magenta · F
Definitely. Have done so for longer than that.

I think I could. That's how long my parents have been married, and they seem to be doing fine (and they've been together even longer than that). If you find the right person, it could last forever.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@SW-User My parents were married for 59 years before my mother passed away.
Softandsweet2 · 36-40, F
I think so - the passion would likely subside a lot, but I know lots of older couples that are obviously in love.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Softandsweet2 the nature of love changes with age
Softandsweet2 · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 that’s very true
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Softandsweet2 yes, i know so personally.
Platinum · M
Definitely ive been married 65years and still love her
GerOttman · 70-79, M
it'll be 37 years next month! that's a firm Yes! from me.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
Yes. I love my wife of 41 years.
Depends on your definition of love. If you associate sex with love then I think likely not, but if living together happily, caring about each other, gifts and dinners and hugs, then yes, for sure.
Bumbles · 56-60, M
@SoftIceCream Haha, you know my marriage well.

Of course. It might not be the same kind of love than when you started, but then again it probably shouldn't be.
Bklynbadboy12 · 36-40, M
Yes sure i can especially if there is chemistry and that special bond
Jordan420 · 61-69, F
sometimes yes sometimes no.. its a roller coaster to be sure
Elessar · 31-35, M
I can't imagine myself staying married with someone for 20 minutes...
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
My parents still love each other 35 years in.

I think like any relationship the love you have after 20 years is different than the love you had when the relationship is new, but my parents were together and in love for way longer than 20 years.
SW-User
More and more.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
Absolutely! Both parties need to work hard to communicate, show affection, and respect the other's needs and dreams.
Nick1 · 61-69, M
Yes. I was married to one for 20+ years and still loved each other. And yes, it can happen again with right partner.
Familygirl · 46-50, F
Depends. If its an open marriage, yes absolutely, if its not then then the chance decreases a lot
Bklynbadboy12 · 36-40, M
I know you can! How long have you been married and do you still love him?
