Love is a feeling which usually does not last long. When love comes true very soon routine settles in and the fire of love consumes itself quickly. I mean the exciting part of love when you still don't know most of your partner. When you are still exploring each other. Wouldn't it be a good idea to try to slow down the process of falling in love in order to preserve the feeling of love the longest time possible?

There even is an analogy in listening to music here. When I love a record very much I often try consciously not to listen to the album too much. In order to preserve the value of the music and to prevent playing (loving) it to death.

I know that the concept of love I write about here is only one small part of "love" as it is generally understood. But I still think it is the most thrilling aspect of it. The reason is probably exactly the transience of this feeling.
