When couples question what love actually means after years together

My partner and I have been together for twelve years and we say 'I love you' every day but last night we both admitted we don't know what we actually mean by it anymore. We're not unhappy, but we realized we might be loving each other out of habit rather than choice and we don't know how to figure out the difference.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that the words and gestures of love may have become divorced from their deeper meaning.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with What love ultimately is — the examined final question?”
