However, Sternberg cautions that maintaining a consummate love may be even harder than achieving it. He stresses the importance of translating the components of love into action. "Without expression," he warns, "even the greatest of loves can die"
This is where I think so many people, in both sexes, go wrong. They think that passion should just "happen" without work.

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? ~Albert Camus
