What we call being in love is a glorious state, and, inseveral ways, good for us It is a noble feeling, but it isstill a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in itsfull intensity, or even to last at all. Knowledge can last;principles can last; habits can last, but feelings come andgo. And in fact, whatever people say, the state called beingin love usually does not last. If the old fairy-tale endingThey lived happily ever after is taken to mean They feltfor the next fty years exactly as they felt the day beforethey were married, then it says what probably never wasnor ever could be true, 25. ..and would be highly undesirable if it were. Who couldbear to live in that excitement for even ve years? Whatwould become of your work, your appetite, your sleep,your friendships? But, of course, ceasing to be in loveneed not mean ceasing to love. Love in this second senselove as distinct from being in love is not merely afeeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will anddeliberately strengthened by habit, reinforced by thegrace which both parties ask, and receive, from God. 26. They can have this love for each othereven at those moments when they do notlike each other, as you love yourself evenwhen you do not like yourself. They canretain this love even when each wouldeasily, if they allowed themselves, be inlove with someone else. Being in love rstmoved them to promise delity: this quieterlove enables them to keep the promise. Itis on this love that the engine of marriageis run: being in love was the explosion thatstarted it.- C.S. Lewis 27.
