OK, so you've been married several years, and looking back,?

I got married because

1. I thought that this man was the one who I could live with on a day-to-day basis

2. I thought he would back me whatever happens.

3. I don't have a good definition of what I love you means... What is yours ?

Most people sleep together for years before they get married in this day and age. I don't think people get married due to lust much, unless they wait to have sex until after marriage OR they marry a week into the relationship.

For my self, I was with my ex husband for 2 years before we married(we were married 5 years), we were sleeping together before we got married and honestly, he was awesome in bed...but it didn't make our marriage work! Marriage is so much more than sex. We had fundamental differences about our roles as spouses and parents. It changed our relationship. We loved each other, but couldn't function as a couple anymore. It just ended up falling apart.

Since we had been together over 5 years (living together since 6 months into the relationship), I think I can safely say we were past the lust/infatuation stage.

My husband married me because he loved me and still does, he proves it every day by his actions. I married him because I knew he loved me, from him I have learned the true meaning of love.

it is still love.

Lust was out the window 3 years into our relationship ..

we didn't marry until our 5th

I use to sit on the edge of the bed in the mornings and think, I gotta do this until I die. it was a death sentence. I am divorced and will probably never get married again , maybe when I need someone to wipe my a$$ and change my diaper. but even then I would probably choose death.

Over 15 years ago I met and fell in love with her, and I can honestly say that over our 14+ years of marriage that love has grown stronger and deeper.

It was neither, actually...it was an ill conceived rebound relationship that turned into love at some point several months after we hastily shacked up.

Really, embarrassing, good thing this is an anonymous forum, he would be upset to know. I do love him more than I ever imagined possible & am completely committed to him, NOW...

Love.

Lust is part of what keeps it happy, lol.

Teenage lust...or what I thought was love...

It was Forced!

Things got complicated but now 6yrs into it things have turned out pretty good. Feel lucky to have him around.
