> AutumnDear Autumn,
I agree with you. I believe your husband needs to say "I love you" to you. Personally, I think saying "I love you" to your spouse keeps romance alive in a marriage; it is not the only thing, mind you. But I think it is very important. My mother and father have been married for 51 years now; my mother once told me that my father has never said the words "I love you" to her since they have been married. I do not see much romance in my parents' marriage, nor have I for a very long time. I guess that is why I feel that it is important to say "I love you".
Thank you for the post!
Glenn
P.S. Do you believe that the type
of love that you see in movies is valid
and realistic? I'm just curious.
