What are some reasons why love can become less passionate?

Sometimes couples come to me and say, “Our love has changed. It just doesn't feel the same.” This is something you can expect in a marriage, because romantic love feels real passionate; the fires are going, our hormones are surging us, we're looking and lusting, and romance feels so easy. As we get to know each other and our brains literally settle down, that's when we start feeling and settling into love. It's a whole different feeling and experience. Suddenly, romance is something you have to think about, it's something you have to work at. When this transition happens, this is where real love truly is born. This is where all possibility of true depth and intimacy begins.
