Having been in a relationship for 20 years, I'd say couples go through phases of feeling more together and feeling more apart. People evolve and change. Over a long time passion (the thing that brings you together in the first place) turns into other things and is channeled in other directions, that is normal. It is very rare that the first love passion stays for the long haul. It's whether or not both people are committed to recognizing this and regrouping that makes it work out in the end. To me that is what real love is all about, hard work towards the same goal.

It's always hard when only one half of the couple is committed to togetherness and the same future.
