Simple infatuation is often called a crush or puppy love. it seldom last long.. no matter how strong, are not enough for marriage.
Romantic infatuation is the same as being in-love. it will not support a marriage. it may develop into love, but it takes time that makes the reward worth waiting for, even if waiting seems painful.
Real love exists when your strong tender feelings for the other are balanced by reason and deep respect. your reason is on the throne, ruling your emotions.
sex interest is one more type of involvement that is often mistaken for love. most men can enjoy sex with a woman, yet have no tender feelings whatever for her. “if you marry on the strength of puppy love, you’ll end up leading a dog’s life.”
