Some ?s for those married a long time?

Every marriage has its "high's and low's"...My beloved took up a new hobby at about that time...sailing, on the ocean...I was terrified for a variety of reasons...He became the "blabbermouth" and I listened, read up on the subject, and asked questions...I started to do interesting volunteer work...He asked me questions...I was learning a lot about myself that was entirely new, as his sailing was to him. I think what you're REALLY asking here, is how do I open up my life to new possibilities and experiences? Because my dear, that is, what it's all about in keeping an interest in life AND your mate...Doing new things - new endeavors together or separate, no matter what they are - giving fodder for NEW conversation. I also went back to school and I think this piqued his interest as well...It is possible your husband needs a new life challenge, physical, mental or otherwise (volunteering) -Just doing something that is NEW that is DIFFERENT is most intriguing and creates much conversation...Even if it's just a new interest in gardening or sustainable environmental improvements in your home...

Best of luck dear...Keep loving, keep looking, KEEP INTERESTED! -And it will come...to both of you.

We have been married 45 yrs this month and we have never run out of things to talk about. Believe it or not, we are still finding out things about each other. I was raised on a farm in Nebraska, she was raised on Chicago's west side. Totally different backgrounds have made it interesting.

Sometimes just sitting together and being comfortable with our silence is the best gift we can give each other.

Been married 33 years in November.

you guys just need to go out more often maybe with other couples and you will have alittle more to talk about.
