I think it changes. I think that how individuals perceive that change could be seen as a decrease in some areas. When love is new there are so many intense emotions associated with the newness of the relationship, as you get to know the person you love them but that nervous energy disappears and is replaced with a bond. As time goes by people tend to take each other for granted, but that could be circumstantial and not directly related to the love they have for their partner. Appreciate your love and recognize the changes and growth in your relationship.

If you let it. :( I just read a book...and it could actually pertain to this because it kinda reminded me of my relationship for a while. A man worried about commitment asked his married friend if marriage gets stale, and boring. (This could be used the other way around too lets not be sexist) I love my right arm, I need it, but I take for granted every day that it's there. I COULD live without it. But. who would want to. Your wife is your right arm. Some men... just forget there right arm, when it's cut off they miss it. It only pertains to a true REAL relationship. But... (That was the best way I've ever heard it said.) My husband forgot about his arm for a short time. He almost lost it.

love is inversely proportionate to time darling. so l/t=c where c is constant baby. but this mathematical explanation. in simple language u may say as time increases the love decreases darling.

Do you mean love, or is love a code word for "sex"? If you mean love, if it's really love, it has the potential to deepen and provide a deeper sense of support, trust and sharing. Love exists when a partner doesn't run away at the first sign of trouble, or stays even though a person is being difficult. If a partner can't do that (and there are limits to what one should have to put with), it's no longer love.
If you mean sex, one might not want to feck like bunnies every ten minutes anymore, but it could mean that sex is explored in new and potentially as exciting ways.Like (2)

Not in my opinion. While my relationships have never lasted more than a couple years . . my first true love from high school, my love for her continues to grow albeit a different kind of love since we broke up years ago.

sadly, since chivalry has died a while back, the answer is it happens with a lot of people. We don't mean for it to happen either

Yes and No. Perhaps the best answer is that it could. When I first read your question I asked myself if you were really talking about sex or passion.
In any case the answer i the pretty much the same. Love needs to be worked at. Sexual passion also needs to be worked at. Your feelings for another person, your passions etc. will change over time. That is a natural part of life. That doesn't mean that it will decrease, it might, but it could also increase or take another form.Like (1)

No. Love can only get stronger. If not, then i guess it wasn't love
