Passion can and does last a lifetime. I feel though, that for it to be there with a relationship, it has to begin with the individuals. As long as they both continue to seek out new goals and challenges, and never stop learning, that will translate into an undying passion for each other.

Passion can definitely last a lifetime and it doesn't have to be sexual.
We get older, tired, just want to relax with each other. Passion can be that look you give your partner as you're sitting on the couch together, looking up from your knitting at HER watching sports on tv. Passion is not about sex, it's the feeling you have for one another. It's the emotional feeling you have, not the physical.

totally agree passion can last, takes work
i had clients that were in their 70's who still held hands, gigled, kisses, hugged, he opened the door, still bought her presents, she always looked her best for him, cooked his favorite dinners. It was awesome to watch. I knew then that that was what i wanted. Their daughter however lived in a non-passionate marriage for years and years, she grew old. In fact mom aka 70'ish went over to paint daughters house cause daughter was too sick to do so. So i think not only did they kept the homefires burning but kept each other young.

I've witnessed lifetime passion with my parents, married for 62 years and still snuggle, spoon, grope, laugh, tease, kiss, you get the picture. While I'm sure their physical priorities have changed, their passion for their relationship has grown, evolved, and remained intact. Passion, in my opinion, isn't an emotion per se but a an approach to aspects of life. When I find nothing in life that I can be passionate about, then I am truly dead.

My parents have been married for 46 years and they still hold hands when they are out together. I think for them the key would be that they talk a lot.

BDSM could probably help a couple keep the passion alive in their relationship if it encourages them to talk openly together and increases the moments of intimacy. From what I have seen many problems occur in relationships when the two people start living almost entirely separate lives and they stop doing the little things like giving each other a kiss hello and goodbye, holding hands and being honestly interested in what the other person is saying.

The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
English poet (1809 - 1892)

I do think passion is something that needs refueling.It takes both to stoke the energy fires. I also think, well actually Master said this to me when we discussed this topic. "Being passionate with each other is not about the end result. It is about seeing it as a constant journey".

I think this sums up what I've seen and experienced best.

Passion means vastly different things to different people. If you are talking about lust and sexual passion, I think you are pretty much guaranteed in a ltr to go through periods of time where it is almost nil. That doesn't mean there is no love or passion, just that the sex is not a high priority. Another thing to keep in mind, there are no guarantees or signs at age 20something that it will still be the same at 40something, 50something, 70something and beyond. As we age we change, hopefully for the better.

The biggest problem as I see it, is when a couple doesn't communicate and keep in tune with one another. Soooooooo many young married couples all hot lust and into each other, two kids and a mortgage later and they are on two completely different planets. A sucessful relationship takes WORK, lots of attention and lots of work.

It is one of those things that you will only get out of it, what you put into it.
