Yes, I believe it is possible. A few humans manage it ... and God :)
I wonder if it matters whether is was Shakespeare or a Hallmark employee who first penned it but here it is in its entirety:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
I happen to believe that is one of the most beautiful love poems in the English language.

I do believe it's possible, but sadly it isn't often that way. If a husband or wife becomes badly disabled or disfigured, then more often than not their spouse leaves because the alteration is to great for them to bear.

No one can love like this. It is simply not suitable to real life. People are not free floating systems. There are so many factors that act on us and pull us in different directions and the same is true of love. Nothing is constant.

Is that Shakespeare?
Excuse me for my ignorance if it merely turns out to be something that is printed on the inside of a Greeting's card, which has been composed by one of their underpaid employees.

Yes, and I've got it engraved on the inside of my wedding ring to prove it.

Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he.
