Matt loved her, or at least she thought he did. He rarely said it. He tried his best to make her happy though. What more could she require of a man? She loved him too, but not with the same intense passion they wrote about in the romance novels she favored. Still, the feeling was strong and constant
I think successful marriages have less to do with passionate love than they have to do with both parties (or all parties, in the cases of polygamous/polyandrous/group) in the marriage putting effort into maintaining their relationship(s) with one another.
