Warch has it pretty much right, I think. Fairy tale love is easily available at first, but familiarity breeds both contempt and depth. As you get older, your definition of a fairy tale is going to change anyway, and you might just find that surviving trials and tribulations standing side by side with someone for whom you have a deep and abiding love has far more value than the starry-eyed, heart pounding first blush.
Don't get me wrong, that first blush is fabulous...nothing else like it...but it is really difficult to maintain in the face of real life. It is sort of like trying to sprint a marathon. Not physically possible. You have to settle in a bit, but then you have a lot more energy, and the sidelines don't rush by as fast.
Okay...it is too early, and now I'm rambling. Bye.
