Romantic love has no elasticity to it. It can never be stretched; it simply shatters. Mature love, the kind demanded of a good marriage, must stretch, as the sinful human condition is such that all of us bear conflicting emotions. … Any mature, spiritually sensitive view of marriage must be built on the foundation of mature love rather than romanticism.
Gary Thomas, Sacred Marriage, p.15, 16

In my mind (and I believe in Biblical teaching - See Ephesians 4:21) the formula for marriage is each one giving 100% of him or her self to the other expecting nothing in return.
AMEN to that, Joe!
