That love our grandparents had, people say they want that but they don’t. They don’t want to work for it, they don’t want any part of it. It’s a nice vision, a nice picture to hang on the wall or something to claim as a “goal” but people don’t really want that. It requires too much selflessness and responsibility, too much detachment from outside temptations and too much focus on partnership. It requires too much work from our self-centred generation. It’s not impossible to achieve but it’s extremely rare and if you have that, you are one of the lucky ones. Cherish it.
