		<description>Have they really found love then? Where it is physically painful to be apart? Where words arent necessary? Or are all the "check off list" items more important? 
Many people find their true love later in life,  wishing they hadnt "settled".</description>

		<description>Kenny Sia, good post.

Not all relationships are doomed because the "mushy" stuff is over. I've taken mine to a different level. The Jedi Master level... hehehe. We use mind control and ESP... and we know what we are thinking without even saying it. Just kidding.

... instead of saying it... we practice it. We do things for each other... there's no 50-50. I think she does more for me than I do for her. Hahaha... that's why I am marrying her.</description>

		<description>If you think now is bad, wait till you see when the relationship progress further... not saying that it's bad. It will come a time when you will be relieved when your partner is away for a while. You will have some time truely on your own and doing your own things without having to think about your partner.

For me it is a good thing that once a while both of us are away. It reinforce our feelings for each other. If you or your partner does not feel this away.... I guess it is time to move on.....

		<description>Totally agree with AWM. my fiance and I are not as "passionate" as b4, but knowing where we came from and where we are heading keep our relationship stronger than ever.

have goals to achieve together! it's fun and satisfying when you can tick 1 item off your goals list. 

like wine, relationships need to mature and grow, and this process takes a life time, sometimes it's painful even, but u know at the end of day, it's worth it all, bcos the both of u hav sweated and put in effort to build a solid foundation for ur relationship. 

have fun and God bless! :razz:</description>

		<description>Nice post, as always :grin:

But I'll have to disagree about the 'routine miss-yous'. 'I miss yous' and 'I love yous' should never, ever be a routine thing to say. That spells the beginning of the end of the r'ship.

In my opinion, honeymoons need not end. It's really up to the couple to spice up their relationship and to prevent dreariness from setting in. It's called 'commitment'.</description>

		<description>Hey Chookie, gotta agree with AWM up there.

Relationship grows and grows into a different area. Sad fact of life, maybe, but reality nonetheless. One *can* continue with the constant barrage of I-love-yous and I'll-call-yous even after the honeymoon period, but after a while it felt like what you refer to as a necessity. 

What can one do to keep the flame burning? It grew into care, caring for each other, caring for the kids the two lovers bear. It grew into a genuine intent to share life for eternity. There's no need to say I-love-yous anymore. When two people's lives are so intertwine, its understood.</description>
