I see posts and friends have long meaningful relationships. How they get excited to see their partner after a long day at work, or still feel butterflies for them after years of being together.
Do you consider being comfortable with each other love too?
If that person, makes your life easy would you consider it love too?
How do you make it last? How do you make it work? Do the feeling of being in love just stays? You still feel the same way about them after an argument? After silence? What makes you keep on fighting for the one person?

Been married over 10+ years now. I’d call it a feeling, like you couldn’t imagine your life without the other person. You’re best friends, you’ve built memories together, you were there when that inside story began. You’ve been through tough times and fun times and have always had each others back. That’s how you do it.

Love is mainly a choice. Feelings of affection are involved but it is ultimately a choice.
If I’m married and I see my wife is tired but she’s doing the dishes, I’ll tell her to go rest and I’ll finish them up. Why? Because I love and care about her.
Most people who have been together for decades will tell you that their relationship goes through seasons. Some seasons you will feel like you’ve been with the wrong person but your active commitment to one another despite that is the thing that helps you to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
We may get into an argument and I’ll be upset with her. But I’ll still choose to rub her feet at the end of the day because I love her and I’m doing that gesture to show it because she was probably wearing heels all day and her feet may be hurting and we can table the discussion/resolution for a more opportune time.
If operating based on feelings alone, we’d all be single. Affection is “I’m rocking with you when things are great”. Love is “I’m still rocking with you even when they aren’t”
Love is a one way street, you need to hope who ever its directed at feels the same towards you. If your the type of person to have some connection to the quantum universe, this will allow you access to “gut feelings” like future events and you hope you dont see or feel something bad about this person you likely still love.
Me and my wife just celebrated 39 years together. I couldn’t imagine my life without her. She is my partner, my teammate, my best friend, my everything. Her happiness is my number one priority.
I still think she is beautiful and sexy. We still get it on regularly.
I honestly hope I die first. I don’t know what I would do without her. I’d be a lost mess.
