Topic: --- Do you ever remember seeing your parents in love? ---

my parents were in love until my late teens,,,they won many dance constests together and were like best friends, took yearly vacations one with the kids
and one without

as well as weekend getaways,,,etc,,,

they both worked hard providing and they were very much 'one' in terms of the life they shared,,,,


msharmony, I think you hit the nail right on the head. IMNSHO, marriage is about being friends, lovers, then husband & wife. Throw in caring, loving parents once the kids come. If any part is missing, fail usually follows...

You are so fortunate! I don't only have bad memories of moms-n-pops, but it was obvious they weren't happy. I can only summize that if both partners don't keep the feeling going, that (and this) is what happens. I will be honest - I figured that as long I didn't do the bad things that my dad and my wife's dad did, I would be good-to-go. Not.

Great points. I learned about relationships from my parents, older sisters, friends, the tv, and personal experience. After being married for over 15 years, I am now separated and re-evaluating what marriage was/is supposed to be about. My dad definitely showed me what NOT to do in a relationship, but there is a super long list and my pencil broke!
