Is this how you know?

Question

This is an odd question.What if you love someone and you want to be with them forever and you want to spend the rest of your life with them but you want to still look the same in 20 years from now,does that mean that you don't love that person?

One more thing.Is this how you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person?

You love them.

You can't imagine your life without them.

You are so glad that you married them.

You want them to be with you forever.

You need them.

Is that how you know?

Answer 1

As far as looking the same, it will not happen to either of you so it's not even a realistic question.  It's superficial.

As far as knowing that you want to spend the rest of your life with them, IMO, if it can be put into words, you did a pretty good job of it!

Answer 2

If looking the same in 20 years is even on your mind, then you're no where near that forever place yet.  

The only thing that is guaranteed to change, for both of you, is your appearance.  The real question is, will you still feel the same about him when he's lost his hair, lost his teeth, maybe lost a limb from accidents or disease, and gained 40 pounds.  That's reality.  And if you can say yes, then that might be love.
