To remain in love for a lifetime: listen actively to your partner, ask questions, give answers, appreciate, stay attractive, include your partner, give him/her privacy, be honest and trustworthy, tell your mate what you need, accept his/her shortcomings as who they are, give respect in all things, never threaten to leave, say 'no' to adultery, and cultivate variety in your activities to keep things fresh. You can never say 'I love you' too many times and you should say it every day. Even though you've been together forever it seems, you should still continue to 'date' your mate and find new ways to fall in love with them every. Single. Day.

Love finds you in the strangest places and hope clings to us in the nooks and crannies we never think to look.

You don't deserve to be taken in a rush, you deserve to be worshiped.

Your heart beat is my favorite thing to listen to. When you look at me and your heart rate jumps.

We'd had a hundred conversations with our eyes, with our senses, with our hands and movements, with not a word spoken.

You don't appreciate the things that come easy. The things we fight for are the things we keep with us forever.

I'm going to take you somewhere and kiss you until you can't think or move or breathe.

You are the light in a dark place. You are the water to my drought. You are everything I never knew existed and everything I wanted all at the same time.
