“Anyone who has been, or is currently in, a long-term relationship knows that the ‘excitement’ (I use that term loosely and for a lack of better word) doesn’t last forever. Usually after a few months or so you start to get more comfortable with one another, and often people see that as the ‘spark’ beginning to fade. Even from the start, our relationship never really involved big, romantic gestures (we never did fancy first dates, extravagant gifts or surprise getaways) but after being together for years (and especially after living together for so long) I really enjoy the little things that come with comfort and really, truly knowing somebody. Like knowing exactly what to order for dinner on Friday night after a long work week (including my fave wine) to always letting me have the last bite of any dessert we have (no matter what). Little things like that only come after you’ve clocked years together and while they might seem mundane, to me they mean everything.” “ Emily MacCulloch, married for six months, together for 11 years
