Forever is a long time

"I want to grow old with you," Adam Sandler's character serenaded to Drew Barrymore's character

We all want to believe that we want to be with our spouse for the rest of our lives. That's why we get married to begin with, in the hope that one day, we will enjoy our twilight years with someone who knows us better than we know ourselves.

Security is one of the most important element of any relationship. I find that couples who feel that they will always be together are much more open and honest about their feelings. Other couples - instead of being a source of comfort and joy to each other - becomes an adversary.

I wanna make you smile,
Whenever you're sad,
Carry you around
When you're arthritis is bad
All I wanna do,
Is grow old with you
I'll get you're medicine,
When you've tummy aches,
Build you a fire
If the furnace breaks
Oh, it could be so nice,
Growin' old with you
I'll miss you,
Kiss you,
Give you my coat
When you are cold
I'll need you,
Feed you,
Even let you hold
The remote control
So let me do the dishes
In our kitchen sink,
Put you to bed
When you've had
Too much to drink
Ohhhh, I could be the man,
Who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you
You always did the dishes,
gave me your coat
when I was too stupid to bring one,
we should have grown old together...
