Most marriages recognize this paradox: Passion destroys passion; we want what puts an end to wanting what we want.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Passion is momentary; love is enduring.
Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate.
Passion is very destructive.
All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.
If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional, and common sense continual.
We make no greater voluntary choice in this life than the selection of a marriage partner. This decision can bring eternal happiness and joy. To find sublime fulfillment in marriage, both partners need to be fully committed to the marriage.
Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
Having experienced everything you don't want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want.
Sometimes you have to find the passion. It comes from the inside... Everyone has to find it for themselves.
Passion is what gets you through the hardest times that might otherwise make strong men weak, or make you give up.
