Falling in love is just what the movies tell you it is. The first kiss, the first sexual encounter, the proposal and the wedding. That’s where the movie usually ends, but falling in love doesn’t stop there. It continues through the bumps, the day-to-day tussles and the little discoveries till at some point falling in love becomes being in love.
Being in love hints at the enduring nature of love. Being in love is wonderful but is no guarantee of staying in love. Staying in love is really honoring the solemn commitment made at the wedding. Staying in love is loyalty, duty, true intimacy, endurance through hardship, full acceptance of the lover—all of it.
