How Does A Married Couple Develop Old Fashioned Love?

It is the result of a strong attachment to each other long after the physical/emotional attraction wanes.  The attraction stage of love that draws a man and woman to one another can happen in an instant, as in "love at first sight."  But the attachment stage of love must be developed over a long period of time.  There is no substitute for the companionship between two people who have years of memories in common:  the same people, places, music, and events.    In the attachment stage of love the couple is so united that each member knows without a word being spoken what the other is feeling, thinking, wanting, or needing.  They can even finish each other's sentences.  The reward for those who work at developing the attachment stage is a strengthened love that is worth any pain or effort to acquire.
