Romance After Marriage; Alive or Dead?

Yeah, but GBS are you guys married?

If so, great. If not then just wait. :wink:

My wife and I have been married for just over 20 years now. She says that I’ve always been thoughtful, considerate and caring.

…and about as romantic as a mid-sized tree stump.

Well, you can’t have everything.

Hubby once gave me a stool so that I would stop asking him to reach for things, he’s 6’4 and I’m 5’4. Is that thoughtful??


“Consider it a challenge…”

I apologize for my earlier post stating I was in a “marriage of convenience”, though it feels that way sometimes, it is not what I meant. I’m not an illegal alien or mail order bride! I meant that basically my husband and I, after much discussion, married for security. We had known each other for quite a long time and were more “friends” than “lovers”. Neither of us was getting any younger, we both wanted the house and baby and all that, so even though we weren’t madly in love, we made it legal, and it’s worked out as well as any other marriage. Now, I’ve got a man with many fine qualities, hardworking, decent, committed, serious, a devoted family man. But wild, giddy, and romantic, he ain’t, and never has been. Still, I like at least a gesture on birthdays and anniversaries and Valentine’s Day, and I make that clear to him. Any outbreaks of spontanaity on his part , regarding romantic things, are unexpected and therefore much appreciated!

I don’t think men understand it’s the little things, cards, flowers, an evening out once in a while, a phone call when one of you is away, these little things are important to a relationship.

Salinq, EXACTLY. Hear that guys?? That’s what I’ve been trying to say. It’s the little things that count. Yes, GBS, cooking all those meals and all does count, in my book. Thanks to everyone for posting your comments. And, StrTrkr777, I’m happy to remind you; not trying to make you feel guilty. Us ‘women folk’, most of us anyway, just need some romance now and then. :wink:
