When adult children witness their parents questioning long-term love

My parents have been married forty years and always seemed like the perfect example of lasting love, but lately they've been talking about how they're not sure they know each other anymore and whether that matters. As their adult children watching this, my siblings and I don't know whether to be worried or if this is just what mature love looks like.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with The philosophy of love — from Plato to contemporary?”
