Passion Still
There was no interesting scenario that started it this time.
No witty comments. No one moment that ignited the passion. Just an older married couple—and now both legally senior citizens—who still want to feel the highest level of intimacy for as long as they can.
Yes, the physical features have changed, or in the case of my hair, almost completely disappeared. But that hasn’t stopped the desire.
I still like to watch her get naked; to see her breasts sway as she walks; to kiss her erect nipples; to touch the fur (now white) that covers her sacred chamber.
It is still exciting to take her into my arms as we settle in for those moments. When we kiss with great passion, she touches my soul. Her gentle hands move across my body, arousing all of me.
It may take longer for us to physically respond, but it still happens. The ability to bring her pleasure with my hands, mouth, and erection brings me pleasure as well.
And when the moment arrives, no matter the position, the thrill of my wife guiding me through her entrance and into her body is an honor that I try never to take for granted. I am grateful for her trust.
Locked together, looking at each other, watching her eyes, exchanging whispered jokes, and uttering moans of satisfaction are among my most treasured of these moments.
Finally, when we can no longer hold out, the eruptions may not be as long, plentiful, or loud as they were in our youth, but they are still meaningful. Perhaps even more so now.
And when it’s over and she is in my arms once again, I appreciate the journey through life we have had. I wouldn’t have wanted these times, or any other part of life, with anyone else.
Thank you for your beautiful posting of love in the senior years. I echo the truth that our love also has grown over more than 50 years of marriage and that my wife still thrills me today as she did when we first shared those early intimate moments. Our bodies certainly have changed as life and time has marched on, but nothing is as thrilling as seeing her undress and then press her body against mine.
We’ve learned that the ways we make love have had to change as now arthritis and his friends rules out some of the ways we used to share love, but the passion and fulfillment is the same. Aging doesn’t mean you must stop enjoying the gift of intimacy together, it simply encourages you to rediscover each other in different ways and to fan the flames of love for our entire lives.
Thanks again for the post !
ForeverHers, you got it right too! As married seniors we’ve learned to fan the 🔥 of 💕 in different ways.
So sweet, beautiful, and inspiring! I loved this. True love will grow with the passage of time. Your marriage is a great example to me. Thank you for sharing!
That is a great description of long-term loving! We can relate to everything you said! I too never take that special honor for granted!
Somehow the loving passion has become even more fulfilling in our senior years!
Beautiful! Yes, after decades of marriage, it’s not the same but it’s still AMAZING!
I really love content like this. Not everything has to be described in pornographic detail (as much as I enjoy that too). This site is about inspiring monogamy in biblical marriage, and this sweet post evokes so much tenderness, passion, self-giving and delight. We are in our 40s now, and this is what I pray for when we are your age! Thank you for the inspiration, and blessings on your wonderful long marriage!
