[quote=Anonymous]My sister is seriously planning to leave her husband because they are not "in love." She says they are best friends, there is no one else she feels more comfortable with, the sex is still great when it happens (about once a week), but they are no longer "in love." I asked her what she thought that meant and she said someone she actually wants to be romantic with and wants to be married to. She said she wants to feel head over heels for the person she is married to.

They have a 6 yo and a 4 yo. I think she is drastically underestimating how hard a divorce and single parenthood will be but she didn't want to hear any of that.

My BIL is a nice guy and I feel bad for him that he doesn't know this is about to wallop him in the face.

But beyond all that, I am confused. If you had asked me before this conversation ~ how was my marriage, I would have said an 8 or a 9. AND I would have said "he's my best friend" and the sex is still great (about once a week). LOL. I thought that was what a marriage was supposed to be more than a decade in? Best friends who decided to be life partners and who like to have sex on occasion. I guess I don't know what the phrase "in love" means.

Do you think most people are "in love" with their spouse after more than 10 years of marriage?[/quote]
