Only took me 50 years to figure this out.

Wow, that is crazy! My wife and I have been married for over 50 years and we dated for three years before that!

I agree that after being married a few years the relationship changes. But no 'shit' involved! Have we fought, said things we did not mean, of course? But that's not shit, that's a reason to make up and remind each other how much we really care about each other.

As we have aged, our relationship became a lifelong friendship, so many shared experiences and memories. The warmest, most trusting and loving friendship one could have is with someone you have been married to for a very long time. And on top of that we still lust after each other.... Again, no shit here...!
 
There was a saying or meme or some such that was popular in the last decade and it really resonated with me. It was about the word love is a verb, not a noun, an action word rather than a feeling. It's choice, a decision, rather than an emotion.

It's deliberate, not passive, and that it's something that you do, rather than something that happens to you.

I agree with all of this.

Love doesn't just happen. Lust happens. Chemistry happens. Infatuation happens. Deep and abiding love is created, on a daily basis, by your decisions and actions.
