Sometimes you can love people for who they are. You might not want to marry them or even live with them, or even have sex with them, but you still love them. You still wish them well and would try to do anything within your power to help them if they needed it.

Sometimes you're lucky enough to marry someone you love in that way, and can actually live with them even through some parts of reality being annoying.

It's very true that long-term love is different from what is normally termed romantic love. But romantic love is not comprised of infatuation... it can be closer to God's love sometimes.

If infatuation is all you're looking for in a relationship, then you'll be gone as soon as the fiery first stage (which happens in any love relationship) is over. If you're looking for more, and bring more, and have a deep understanding and tolerance for daily muck and te ability to have a discussion without argument or to clean up after a real argument... well, the relationship just might last.
