Finding love and Keeping it

Often, couples settle into their everyday lives and neglect to maintain that wonderful feeling that brought them together. Conversations become surface, the bedroom is mundane, quality time is absent, and the very essence of their togetherness seems to be routine.  Seemingly they begin to take one another for granted. The significance of the relationship has passed and is now replaced monotonous behavior.

What happens to the flame that was ignited in the beginning? What about laughing until you cry while conversing or the excitement of seeing one another after a long day? Has time diminished these wonderful elements of your relationship? How do you suppose re-inventing your love? 

What is it about LONGEVITY in relationships that seems to drain the creativity, spontaneity, passion and significance out of it?

My partner is my friend;  we laugh, joke, talk, and have fun.  My partner is my lover;  we make love, explore sexual desires, make it our business to do 'new' things, express our hunger for one another and exhibit our affection. My partner understands me as I do her.  We communicate without judgment or getting defensive.  We continue to cultivate our relationship as it is important to us. LONGEVITY is what we seek so we do the things to ensure the years to come will be our reality.
