Does this always happen in long term relationships and can it work as a marriage?

I love my girlfriend as a person, and we have had amazing sex (and still do.)





However, I don't always feel attracted to her. Sometimes I get those little rushes of adrenaline, but sometimes I dont. It hasn't really affected our sex life - we are both still obviously turned on etc.





Is this just a normal change in a long term relationship? Ive not been with anyone this long before.Does this always happen in long term relationships and can it work as a marriage?
If you have an amazing sex life, you are enough attracted to her. You're over-analyzing things- no, you won't be desperate to have her all the time like you were at the beginning. Do I want to jump my fiance's bones every time I see him come home from work or taking out the trash or watching TV? No. But I am very attracted to him and we have a good sex life.Does this always happen in long term relationships and can it work as a marriage?
It means nothing.





After the initial emotional high of a relationship, mature people intellectualize their love for each other. Its a normal process and for adults it is an automatic one.





The joy of an adult relationship is incredible and long-lasting. It is not a constant scramble for reassurance. When you do make love it stays with you for days and sometimes weeks afterward. It does not fade away immediately.





Take your love to the next level, your mind.
That happens no matter who you are with we get use to eachother like we get use to material item we buy too. We love it and are obsessed adn notice it everytime we walk buy it and then time passes and we dont notice it any longer. I think it dies down so that we see if we have any other things in common and if we actually like them and just are not infacuated. So many leave when that dies down because there is nothing else there that they like about hte person. And thats why people cheat becasue they are looking for that rush again. That rush will die down ith who they cheat with also. You sound like you actuall like her. I think you are just fine.
very very normal dude...this is why it takes work and lvoe bcomes a choice and less of a feeling. If you allow feelings to control your dexcisions...you may be in and out of relationships for teh rest of your life
What you have is what you have. A marriage doesn't exist for the two parties most involved. Marriage is a long-dead institution that exists so that church and state can have a piece$$$ of your relationship.
it is normal after a while you have to work on keeping your sex life mysterious and fun.by some toys and lotions and edible undies.fun stuff you can use in the bedroom.
this is very normal...which is why most marriages end in divorce. be ready to put in work to make the relationship work, because this is where it begins to get tough.
As long as you don't both feel that way at the same time, you will be good to go.





It's not always hot sexy passion. It comes in waves.
normal,
very normal and get used to it








MILDRED IS MY LEADER
This is life. This is a very normal part of your relationship. Have you ever seen a fire blaze on really hot and stay that way? No, it burns down to embers, but it still a fire and it is still very real. Your relationship is just maturing, congratulations!
Maybe you love her in a more platonic way?
