is this it?

"Love is a feeling difficult to explain; it tickles the heart and affects the brain; 5 minutes pleasure 9 months pain; out of hospital do it again" I overheard this in Rum Jungle

Love is a feeling. Your heart really does beat faster. You can get butterflies in your stomach, treat every telephone call with your loved one as an important event. You feel a constant current of energy and excitement. Everyone and everything else in your life momentarily reduces in importance. Nothing and no one is interesting as the person who is making you feel like this.

Christine married Stanley after over 10 years of courtship; Teekay married after 2 months. I married after 6 years of courtship. The way I see it: problems affect couples who marry before they hit any difficulties together. Meeting problems destroys some of the euphoria of being in love, and allows one to see beyond it to whether there are aspects that are longer lasting than euphoria and passion.
