Is the movie industry making people think that "being in love" is more important than "love". What is "being in love" to you? Is it sustainable after 30 or so years of marriage? After a persons looks have faded. If so how?

The movie industry has been THE contributor to people's MISUNDERSTANDING of love. The lovers must be young, attractive, heterosexual, white, rich, middle-class, seemingly intelligent and capable of insatiable and acrobatic acts of sex, er I mean 'love'.

I think that the movie industry contributes to alot of misperceptions of love for younger people, but if you can find a greater understanding of love not shown in movies (eg. Parents still together, Love from family, something) then you can see that the movie is fantasy. The movie's arent really the problem, it is people not seeing true love and taking their experiences from movies into the real world, and becoming bored with what they think is love. Because i personally think that real love isn't the great times on the beach making love, but more the 25 years sticking together being companions.

No absolutely not!!! The movie industry builds up fantasies of love but in the real world its not like that. I cant remember where i read a verse that describe love between two persons as trying to sit on a three-legged stool. Both have to maintain the balance so none of them falls or takes up too much space.
So in my opinion, real love is not the fantasies created in the movies, real love last forever, because you're in love with the inner person not the idea of being in love which is usually the case in some movies.

Love existed long before the movie industry. Think of the Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan built it in honour and remembrance of his beloved wife Mumtash. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - before the cinema industry turned it into West Side Story, or in Julius Caesar, when Brutus accuses Cassius of not being stoic. Cassius replies 'No man bears sorrow better, Portia is dead.' Leaving Brutus with nothing more to say than, 'Ah, Portia!'

That "being in love" feeling is not sustainable. Relationships are full of ups and downs. I'm not saying that once you have had that feeling with someone you will never get it again with them. Ive been married for 6 years and I still get that "in love " feeling, just not all the time. Nothing is rosy all the time

"being in love"has to do with our brains, with some hormonal rush, endorphins, pheromones and other stuff alike, and helps in order to keep us procreating, while living a lifetime together with a person, in harmony, is something else, which has to do with our educational background, hobbies and personalities, life experience in general.
