Does this all have to end? Are relationships doomed to predictable and boring routines of shopping, preparing meals, doing dishes, laundry, watching T.V., talking about work, taking care of kids, fighting, and sleeping?

While how we feel toward each other certainly changes and evolves over years, truth is that our relationships reflect what we put into them.
