The passion we share now differs from the thrill we had at first like a noisy but shallow brook differs from a quieter but much deeper river. Passion may lead you to make a wedding promise, but then that promise over the years makes the passion richer and deeper. Only if you maintain your love for someone when it is not thrilling can you be said to be actually loving that person. Otherwise you are just in love with the feelings the other person brings.
from Tim Keller in The Meaning of Marriage.
