I think that attraction and chemistry are real and purposeful. If we didn't have that initial animal instinct and attraction NO ONE would ever get married.

However, people tend to think that feeling is permanent. When a long term relationship loses that 'feeling' and matures into something else, they think the relationship is over. The TRUTH is, that's when the real love, the real lasting relationship is just starting!

Some people - too many - don't hang around long enough to enjoy and LIVE that part of a lasting marriage with their spouse. THAT's the part that takes devotion, patience, commitment, WORK and never giving up! I'm married almost 30 years - it's not easy but it's SO worth it!
