things Change.. why doesn't Love?

lately, ive been filled with
questions rather than
insights.

i admire 50 year old marriages.
20 year old marriages even.
to be in relationship, all the while
learning, growing, and changing.


romanticized images of couples,
still "having it" and glowing with joy.
this seems so hard.
what a struggle to keep it up.
and how can so many
males and females
be called to this turmoil?


does the good really outweigh the bad?
if so, then i want to see the scale that proves it.


point is, things change. i see the beauty
in change. the only thing i cant see is,
how do two people, soaking up life
and basking in its pleasures, find
pleasure in each other over such a
long
long
long
time?

Namaste.
