I am writing something for someone I love, and I need to refer to things that are constant and consistent. I have listed some examples in the question, but am searching for more. Any help you could provide will really help me impress her!

Holy cow! I could go off on all kinds of negative tangents here, the tamest of which would be something like: A broken clock is still right twice a day.
How about something like . . .
Changes in the seasons
The "essence" of a situation - like favorite memories from something that has been regular in your relationship - a holiday, place, or whatever that is a constant source of good tidings for you both.
The bee, beaver (watch out for sexual connotations here) or ant being busy.
Solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.
Flowers reach for the sun.
If religious, you may want to refer to faithfulness in some way, though you don't want to compare either of you with God.
The East will never touch the West.
Opposites attract (magnetism).

If the ice caps are melting how is pumping more water there going to change anything. If ice is melting will water freeze? The truth is that while the "sea ice" is melting, the land based ice is actually becoming thicker, which follows given the warming of ocean currents. If you put all the processes together this makes sense. More heat - more evaporation - more precipitation when it cools (over the poles) - more snow - more ice, etc. BTW, I too, remember the GREAT GLOBAL COOLING AND IMPENDING ICE AGE scare. If you carefully read the link below you'll see that the computer models being used for all of this are not supported by the science. There are as many models as there are opinions and they're just models - nothing more.

At least two of your examples aren't inevitable!
The North Pole wanders, and magnetic polarity has changed completely in the past.
Some fossil water has never made it to an ocean.
The future of our orbit around the Sun *is* reasonably secure.
Death and taxes, that the laws of thermodynamics apply, these are inevitable.
That there can always be room at Hilbert's hotel.
If maths and physics don't seem that romantic, try the lyrics for "Concrete and Clay", by "They Might Be Giants"
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begin to crumble
But love will never die
You know we'll see the mountains crumble
Before we say goodbye...
Yes, Entropy. One of those inevitable things.

God is one who doesn't change nor do His laws; such as the law of gravity; the law that whatever it is that we sow is what we will reap etc. God's laws don't change... God cannot lie and or die... As for death and taxes, forget it 'cause after Armageddon, there will be neither... no more taxes and death itself will be done away with... Revelation 21:3-4
But the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees; yes!!! they'll be there... and they don't change! in doing what they are meant to do...

As sure as the sun rises in the East,
as sure as night follows day,
as high tide follows ebb,
as sure as bell-bottoms will come back one day (sorry, couldn't resist that one!). As the saying goes, the only things certain in life are death and taxes, but you can't use that on her!

Change is inevitable. Death is also.
