[quote=Anonymous]Part of being an adult is recognizing that love grows and deepens.  The passion of the beginning of a relationship might flare through sometimes, but it will never be the same. It SHOULDN'T be the same, because that would show a love stuck in a shallow introductory stage.

Just like with your children. When you first lay eyes on your newborn, in the rush of oxytocin from birth, you feel an insane wonder and intensity of focus.  You may stay high for a couple of days, unable to sleep or do anything but stare at this beautiful creature.  At some point, the exhaustion and relentless demands of your love for your child will settle in.  Does this mean you don't love your baby as much?  Are the best moments past?  No, of course not!  Would you waste the rest of your life trying to go back in time?  That would be really dumb, and short-sighted.

Your husband needs to understand this, and embrace what he has.  Of course, you can show how much you love him all the time, but that won't get his head straight.  This is a state of mind, not a reflection on you.  Life will start passing him by if he stays in this rut.

Things and experiences are unsatisfying, because they pass.  What is real and satisfying is love, relationships, knowing persons.  [/quote]
