10 Takes on the Reality of Romance After Marriage

Source: Whisper

It’s not really that we expect that we’ll never change once married. When you look someone in the eyes at the alter and say “I do” to an entire lifetime, you have to be imagining the older years, the slower ones, the ones that are hopefully very content but likely a bit less intense.

Still, it’s disheartening if the romance just goes away altogether, and especially so if it goes away too quickly.

That’s the kind of thing going on with a lot of these anonymous people who chimed in on the post-marital love issue. Let’s see how many out of ten find the experience positive, in a not-at-all scientific study.
