I was just doing a search online to learn the average length infatuation lasts, and came across the following information. Very strange in a way, because it the page does not mention 'infatuation" which is what I was searching for, and does talk about MLC, which I was not searching for. This is where I think rH is today, and is my prayer for all of us Standers. Let's all learn to dance in the rain!
"This is the third honeymoon where you are united in the deepest way possible, a true uniting of souls. If the couple have worked through the previous stages there is now a deep intimate friendship based on trust, honesty and respect.
When the couple have guided and supported each other through any midlife crises they have generally made it. Now they are full, complete mature both as individuals and as a couple.
You are now secure in each other. Accept each other and are each other’s best friends. Short of external problems you have no major problems ahead. You have learned not to take your frustrations, irritations and tensions out on your spouse. You have made it through the best of times and the worst of times. You know how to meet each other’s needs, and recognise when one of you is upset about something and you have the experience to know how to handle it and if necessary, work around it. Yonger couples can look up to this couple and get relationship tips from their lifelong bonding experiences together.
You trust each other with a deeper trust than ever before. The love, affection and trust you feel for each other You are relaxed and comfortable with each other. There is a warm serene glow from the warmth of mature calm Love.

this is what life and Love is all about!
Love is revitalizing and energizing and is long lasting; Love endures.
