That's a good question, but actually we write it.
We have a little problem that is we believe love is like fairy tale, happy ever after, right after marriage, but that is nothing like that, the wedding is just a step, can bring you closer to paradise or closer to hell.
Nobody never teach anyone about marriage, about the burden of a married life, how to build happiness after the honeymoon,. and we just think everything will fit in the proper time, just to realize later on in the road, that nothing will fit, unless we work really hard for it.
We all look for successful partner, beauty, shape, brains... as it would be the necessary tools for happiness, but unfortunately we don't even know where to start to look for the right qualities.
A life with a partner can be enriching and full of life and joy, we just need to figure it out how to deal with each other during the storms, and the windless moments..
Hope you'll find your way.
Cheers

Whoever wrote the book of love was on some good **** and I want some like now! The love thang is great if you get the right one and hell if you don't. I've been married my second time around for 3 years and trust me it's a struggle every day to keep the love alive but then i stop and remember what made me fall in love with him and say I do in the first place. I guess that would be a good thing for all of us to do when the love thang starts to go for 5the worse is to remember what made us fall in love with the other person and go from there to see if it's still love or just lust. Love to all of you too. LATER!

Congrats on being married 15 years! You must be dedicated to making it work as a couple.
As I am sure you already know, love is so much more than fuzzy feelings. Love is a choice you make sometimes every minute, to put the other person first and not be selfcentered.
It is hard after the fire fades to keep your marriage alive and interesting. But that is the time to start being creative and working together to rekindle it once in a while.
Start dating each other again. Start courting him/her. That gives a marriage a real kick in the pants. Remember how when you were dating you felt special and loved and couldnt wait to talk to him again because of how he made you feel. That is when you were both focused on making the other happy. It does wonders for a marriage.
Also, if you have young kids, arrange for some kidless nights and kidless vacations.
Wisk him off to Cancun for your anniversary...or just because.
Take a weekend and just drive somewhere you have never been and do things you dont normally do.
Fresh and new things being new life into old habit!
Best of luck to you and yours!

Expect that after 15 years, things will never be like when you were first married. Celebrate the wonders of having someone who knows you well, ignores how you look in the morning and even remembers a birthday or anniversary. Falling in love is great, but be thankful you had someone to catch you!

I dont think they were drinking, I think they were smoking something.
Oh who are we kidding...the book on love aint even half way finished yet.
But I'm sitting here wondering....should we be thinking about those falling in love feelings....or just be thankful that we were able to have them at all in our lifetime.
Be proud of the fifteen years....if your still together and the sex when it happens is still making you breath hard. consider yourself lucky.
