Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life.
It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Ceasing to feel “in love” with someone does not mean that you have to stop loving them.
Love in a second sense—true love, as distinguished from “being in love”—is not merely a feeling. It is maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit.
People can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; even when each might easily “fall in love” with someone else.
- C.S. Lewis
