Don't be sad Luther! :)
I think some of the others put it better in saying that it's 'lust' at first, but later REAL love develops, and that's what keeps people together in the long-run! It's that initial sexual attraction that I was talking about, and that is what fades, opefully to be replaced by a stronger, more mature kind of love and respect for each other. My own parents had their 40th anniversary last month, and I can't think of a happier couple! ;) It's out there Luther, we just have to keep our eyes (and hearts) open! :D :p
