When the Thrill is Gone
“What about mad love and undying passion?” “Affection and comfortable lust are better.” Vanessa Grant, If You Loved me. I was reading a romance novel when I came across these lines. I haven’t picked up a romantic book in a while, but they are my go to when I need the assurance that true love does exist. Whether in fiction or real life, it matters not. What is central is that if the human mind can conjure up such passion as we encounter on the pages of a good book, then surely it must be within our means to attain it.

For instance, a divorce may be more…
