For those getting married this month, pledging to have and hold "'til death do us part," it is worth noting that love really does get better over time. As Samuel Butler wrote:
All love at first, like generous wine,
Ferments and frets until 'tis fine;
But when 'tis settled on the lee,
And from th' impurer matter free,
Becomes the richer still the older,
And proves the pleasanter the colder.
