We fall out of love because we can't be bothered to put the effort any more, because we think there is something better just over there, because we can't take responsibility for our actions. The comment about love evolving is very true. The initial passionate, physical spark fades with time and familiarity and routine. We have to work at it. Something deeper and caring takes the place of the urgency. Perhaps I'm just lucky...I've been with my partner for sixteen years, married for fourteen, we have three kids and busy lives...and I still find her the most attractive woman in the world. We argue and annoy one another, sure, and sometimes we have wished we were somewhere else with someone else. But we are committed to being with one another, whatever happens. That only develops with time and trust and effort. In my opinion she is worth it.
