You wouldn't really want it to stay as it starts. Real love keeps growing. Through good and bad. It grows deeper and stronger every day. That's when you know it's real. :)

When love is real you will know. You won't even have to question it. I fell in love with my husband and just knew. When it is real between both of you it will last. His and my love for each other just grows stronger every single day. I never thought I could love him any more and then I look back and realize that I love him even more. He tells me the same thing. I knew it was love when I thought about taking care for him for life and never being with another man. If he is old, in diapers, no legs, and blind...I want to be the one to take care of him. :) I am no longer attracted to any other man the way I am him. He is truly my one and only. We can look at each other from across a room and smile and have had an entire conversation. We know what we are each thinking without any words. We can finish each others sentence because we know each other so well. That is not all there is to love but when you have it, you will feel it. It is a feeling that words can not describe. Our English vocabulary has yet to give us meaning for the feeling. You can only feel these things when your partner feels the same about you. I thought I loved a man when I was younger. We moved in together, talked about marriage, and so forth. That was childs play compared to the love my husband and I share. It actually took me until the age of 26-27 to finally feel a mature love feeling. All other emotions seemed a liitle underdeveloped but I didn't realize it until I reached that age. That is why I feel that if you have to ask, then you are not experiencing true love. Good luck to you in your search for love. It is the best thing in the whole world and I wish it upon you.

Because Real Love isn't exactly that bubbly feeling we have when we initially start a relationship. It's not infactuation... Real Love changes throughout the course of a relationship. It's a deeper appreciation for the person we've grown with throughout the years... If love doesn't change and mature along with each of us then it can never truly be considered Real Love...

Real love is hard to describe (describing an emotion in words is difficult)
Real love is when two people see each other for who they REALLY are and like who they see. A total meshing of two lives. When you care as much for someone else as you do for yourself.
Why does it diminish? I am not sure Love dimishes. Lust/sex does due to age and repitition.
Love is an intangible quality that is not measured by how much sex you have or how much attention you pay each other.
It is the level of feelings/commitment you have to that person.
My parents have been married for 39 years. I don't know what they ever saw in each other but I also know that I could not imagine them with anyone else.

Real love defies definition. That's why the song 'what is love' is such a hit in clubs.
Attraction fades, because that's how humans evolved. Sexual attraction lasts an average of about 2 years, and then after that, it takes real committment to keep a relationship going.

Real love is built over time...there's really no such thing as love at first sight, though some of us experience attraction at first sight.
The human race was meant to have impulses that lead to the reproduction of the human race...and that means lots of attraction to the opposite sex. But we're also blessed with the ability to think (or at least most of us are), so controlling impulses to leave your wife for a sexy teenager rarely come to pass.
There are remarkable differences between love, lust, and attractions...as well as one-sided crushes.

real love is when the person you are with stands by your side no matter what the situation may be. love cannot stay as it starts because you get used to the other person and get comfortable. in order to stay in love, you have to try different things to keep it spicy and spunky.. you may love someone, but not be in love with them, which are two different things. its better to be in love because that way when things don't go well for you, you know that person will be there to pick you up so you can continue on with life.

It can't stay as it starts, because when it starts it's not love - it's the other "L" word; lust.
After lust comes the real thing.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING stays the same, not even cement. Real love exists when your primary goal is for the other person to be happy. All relationships evolve from the romantic, "I can't live without you" phase, to the "OK, maybe I CAN live without you, but I don't WANT to" phase.

Real Love is when you and your mate are there for eachother and stick up for one another. You aren't afraid to talk to him/her, you are very comfortable around them.
Sometimes, it can't stay because it wasn't meant to happen. God knows that there are better true loves for you. And sometimes, you two become too close.
