Like seems a rather weedy emotion compared to love, but as Sarah explained, it is one of the most important components in making a relationship last. It might seem surprising, but Sarah argued that some people fall in love with partners they don't like very much.
Complex, though it may seem, I tend to agree with what Sarah said. If two people enjoy each other's company, find each other interesting, approve of the way each other thinks and behaves, they might fall in love. But eventually the "in love" feelings would pass. If there are things that irritate or bore us about our partner, or which make us feel cross or comtemptuous, these will matter more once we have stopped feeling madly in love.
The ultimate question is: would I want to be friends with this person if we weren't in love?
