casserole of my life


What happens when love grows old?

concocted on Fri, 9 May 2008 @ 12:59 am for Relationships

I noticed that my in-laws have a very peculiar relationship.  They can’t seem to stand the sight of the other and are always cursing at each other openly.  In fact, their curses can get pretty vicious too.  They’re never cordial at the least, but yet, I also see them sharing food and going on trips together.

When I look at them, I always wonder how it would be like when my husband and I grow old together.  Given that interests, mentality and temperaments do change with age, how are we able to maintain a relationship for another ten, twenty or thirty more years?

Will we continue to laugh at one another and still have some semblance of a decent relationship?  Or will we become cranky and be at each other’s throat every other day? 

And can we grow old and still love the other?
