Can there be lasting, eternal love between two people? You can look at quotes from writers and thinkers through the ages to see it is not a modern invention. It has been celebrated for centuries.
One story of timeless love was an article about an old couple who were still very much in love with each other. They had children and grandchildren who lived far away. so they were each other's only companions. The man would bring his wife flowers almost every day, while the woman took care of the man as one would do a child. What made the couple unique was that the old man had Alzheimer's disease. He had forgotten everything about his family. But he kept telling everybody he met that he wanted to marry "that girl from the neighborhood." He was talking about his wife.
Isn't it surprising that even a debilitating disease like Alzheimer's that wipes out memories in the brain, could not wipe out the memory of the heart? That is true love. It may be rare, but it does exist.
