    Give it a few years they’ll get sick of each other.

    This is why old married people get nostalgic at weddings, they remember when it was still fun.

    Not to say you shouldn’t fall in love, just don’t expect it to last forever.

    Edit: I see young people in here who don’t know any old married couples

      how old is “old married couple”.

      I’m 40 and I’ve been dating/married to my wife for 14 years. I am still quite happy and in love with her.

      Actually after re-counting, I’ve been married for 14 years, dating for 7 more.

      You’re right - you can’t expect it to last forever. You gotta maintain! Keep the fire burning! Keep flirting, keep finding ways to make them happy!

      I’m in my fifties and have been married for 30 years.

      I love my wife. she’s taken such good care of me even though I’m completely undeserving in my opinion.

      sounds like you’re just a angry child who never learned to love.

      Do you live in an area that socially disapproves of divorce? In my area there are plenty of unhappy young couples who eventually break up, but the old couples all really like each other because if they didn’t, they’d just get divorced.
