Love is a very big topic and I believe that most people understand love as the emotion but there's more to love than simply feeling love. I've understood love as being a decision, you choose to love someone even though you may not feel anything for them. Feelings will come and change with time. When two people meet they "fall in love" but that feeling is not necessarily love but rather a sense of discovery, passion, and lust. Love really kicks in when you're ready to give your life for that person, ready to make changes in your life for the betterment of the relationship. The feeling of love will change over time and the sense of discovery, passion and lust that was initially felt will change. It can still exist even after 10 years of marriage but it's changed, it doesn't feel the same and that's when people think they fall out of love. The reality is that by choice you could continue to love that person.
That's my opinion.
