I also must add that staying in love is so very simple if you are, indeed, "in love"...big difference between loveing someone and being "in love" with someone. When you are in love the relationship is blissful, overwhelming, understanding, caring, devoting yourself to the other's happiness and well being and be willing to put yourself in their place in the face of dire illness and death. I know this first hand and would have traded places if I could have for the love of my life with whom I was "in love" and still am even though he is the angel on my shoulder every moment of every day and night.

Maybe part of the problem is that we are, at times, in love with people who are not in love with us. They may like us, or even "love" us for a time, but it is fleeting. I have found myself in that place before, where I give everything I possibly could, but the person turns out to not bring that to the table too.
The goal is to be in love with someone who is in love with you.
I always say, love is immortality. I lost the love of my life 6 years ago, I am still in love. Right now, I am not looking for another great love, just one that will be good for both parties.
