We live in a dream world in which society tells use the state of falling in love is the natural state for a couple to remain in forever. The ability to be romantically attracted to someone is a gift from God.
Romance is like the fire of a match.
It burns brightly and quickly, but its purpose is to set on fire something else which will last much longer. God gives us romance to burn the fires in a marriage. The purpose of romance is to develop a more deeper understanding of love in the marriage relationship. A love based not simply on feelings but on genuine commitment as well. God created marriage to be a lifetime relationship between two individuals who were committed to each other no matter what the stresses of life might be.
