In reply to the discussion: "I've started telling my daughters I'm beautiful" [View all]liberal_at_heart
(12,081 posts)48. I love what you said about getting older there is just something that
keeps a couple together. I feel the same way. I think it is how much life beats up on you. If you can find someone who will be there for you and for whom you can be there for after all the things life does to you then you really have something special. Sometimes I forget to tell my husband he is attractive but I always tell him I love him and appreciate him. I probably should tell him how attractive I think he is more often.
