“Love can be a hell of a draw, the emotional holy grail. But love also exposes our flaws, can even draw out the worst in us. People want to perform heroic deeds, commit flagrantly dramatic acts for love. What they don’t realize is that the daily grind is what is required. Instead of a single extraordinary act – slaying the dragon, throwing yourself in front of a bus – it is the repetition of small gestures over a course of years that makes love work.”
