A question for the married folks

I remember how sometimes (back in the day), I would look at my parents and wonder how they do it?

Some few hours ago, I had seen this video on tiktok that was talking about how it's normal for partners who live together to get tired of each other and sometimes start finding other people who they're just meeting for the first time, a lot more interesting than their partner.

Basically the video was telling us that feeling that way is normal and shouldn't be a reason to leave someone because we will still end up getting bored of whoever it is who find, all it takes is time.

That reminded me of a question that I've always had in my mind for a while now, one that I feel will be best answered by people who are married or someone who has been in a long relationship.

How do you wake up everyday and not get bored or fall out of love with your partner?

This is a serious question to me and it's one that kinda makes the concept of marriage a little bit tricky for me and probably the reason for lots of divorces out there. And honestly, sometimes you can't blame them because we're humans and we humans tend to get bored of stuff after having it for a long time.. Why? Because it's no longer interesting.

A good example is a mobile phone. Most people don't use the same phone for five years because they've gotten bored of it due to the fact that it's the same old phone with no new features.

I feel the same applies to humans too. When you've lived with someone for over twenty years, it gets to a stage where you know every single thing about that person.. When and how they eat, how they talk, what their views would be on certain topics without you even having to ask them and etc..

When you know someone that too well, doesn't it kinda gets boring because it's the same old stuff everyday and nothing new? Or is it just different for humans because we can always learn new stuff and do new things to impress our partners?

I genuinely need an answer to this because I've thought about marriage a lot of times and each time I get fascinated by the idea of living with that one person for the rest of your life. I'm not against marriage, I'm just amazed as to how some people dedicate their life to it, with the same partner, for the rest of their lives.
