Hum.....that depends on why he's doing it and his personality.

Not necessarily.

There is a gal here at work.  Her husband gave her flowers all the time
when they were dating.  The florist heard they were getting married and
commented to the man in question, "Gee, I guess I"m losing my best customer."
My friends then fiance said, "No, you're not."  They have been married for
25 years and he still gives her flowers all the time.  They are crazy about
one another...

You have to be imaginative.  This is a wonderful story.

My fiance was driving in front of me one day in his truck.  He jumped out
at a stop sign, ran across the road, and picked me a bunch of wild flowers,
shoved them thru my open car window, kissed me, and told me to have a 
super day, jumped back into his truck, and drove off to work!

Well, it certainly doesn't HAVE to stop...(see story above).  I would expect
that Steven will never stop doing cute things...nor I to him.  That's important
to keep a relationship alive and fresh.

Depends on the relationship.  I appreciate Steven more each day.  Why?
Because he is a special person, and he shows me he loves me in so many ways.
Sure, marriages can get stale, but that is the fault of the couples involved.
You have to WORK at making it happen.  You have to cherish the relationship
enough to keep it fresh and new.

Well, Brandon, I'm Julie and the votes are being tallied today to see if
I won the election to become President (Lis resigned due to too busy of
a schedule).  Stay tuned....
