If you're open to it, a relationship can always surprise you and stay fresh. This is something I've learned after eight years of marriage.
I found out this week that lurkette likes liverwurst on saltines with american cheese. It takes her back to being eight years old in a fort she built in the woods. The minute I heard that, I scampered straight out to the store and came back with the goods, and we had our little memory-snacks. I had one, since liverwurst really isn't my thing, but she loved them and ate a bunch.
My point is, you can definitely get into a "taking for granted" mode (I've been there!) where you already know everything and nothing is new anymore. Or you can be open and looking for surprises, and what do you know, surprises show up.
