"I think most people are accustomed to thinking of love as a feeling. Look at the divorce rate, if you don't feel it anymore, you must be with the wrong person. Love takes work. Active work, patience, and a knowledge that things will simply not always feel amazing. In my wedding vows I told my wife that I promised that I was going to hurt her feelings, that there would be times I'd need her forgiveness, and that I promise to forgive her in times where she needed mine or hurt mine. It's to be expected."
