If a girl respects her parents, she will respect her husband and be a good wife. But a girl who insists on marrying for love, perhaps even against her parents wishes, is not a good daughter and will not be a good wife. For this reason, her marriage is not likely to last.

Physical attraction creates strong emotions, which we might think is love, but it really is just infatuation. During this passionate stage, we overlook the other person's flaws and habits, because we believe that 'we are in love', and 'love is all that matters'. Then reality strikes, the infatuation wears off, and we start to see the flaws and we get annoyed by the habits. Some people think that this means they have 'fallen out of love', when really, this is where true love starts.
