1. Undying love exist to the extent you are willing to love your partner. Love isna verb not a noun. It is what ypu do, not how you feel. You chose your partner and pledge to love them and do right by them - that itself is sufficient unto the day of rapture. 
The fire don't go out unless you let it. It is your responsibility to intentionally fan it daily and regularly so it doesn't go out. You don't leave the fore to itself and wait to see how itbgoes. It will die. Relationship is hardwork even on the best days.
Like T.D Jakes said, "you have to go to your partner when you are in love. You have to go to them when younare not in love until you are in love."
I've said lot if times that "falling in love" is just emotional attachment. Whether or not that feeling is there, love your partner

Do right by them always. That is the only way to strgethen the bond of affection and intimacy that binds you. Love is not butterfly in the stomach. Love is responsibility.
The reason people lose interest in the long run is because they stopped working on loving their partner.

Like iPhone, you are thirsting after a new experience someone you've not experienced and so you work on your new emotional attraction to satisfy your lust until the flames dies again and then the circle continues.
To love is to commit and Commitment is intentional.

2. Love is not a mental construct. "Falling in love" is. Love is responsibility.
For God so loved the world that he gave...
Jn 3:16
You cannot love without giving. To love is to give yourself to the benefit of another. Invest your time, body, resources, emotions in your partner

Emotions are fickle and unreliable. It is not a strong foundation of love. Romantic novels and Hollywood has messed up people's concept of love but my hope is that this generation gets more responsible with their matrimonial responsibilities because we need healthy family system.
The reason relationship and marriages suffer is because of the reasons for going into them - someone to take care if you, sexual satisfaction, emotional attraction (till it wears off), who is available, among other flimsy reasons.
Your choice is fine but be committed to it.
Your choice is fine but be committed to it.
Commiting to it is where the problem is because in the long run, you realize this is not sustainable unless you want to keep up appearances.
Relationship/Marriage is your greatest life decision.

So choose who is willing to go the distance with you in privilege and disprivilege, in convenience and inconvenience, who put family above self, who understands there is no Me but Us in marriage.
When you are wilfully committed, you intentionally seek to do right by your partner

When the foundation is right and you have a sense of responsibility, you leave no chance of monetary or sexual attraction to break the bond of intimacy you share with a partner.
You'll marry once and marry right. I trust the God of all grace to bring you into matrimonial bliss🙏
