Summary

This quote suggests that the end of a romantic relationship is often due to the fading of initial charm that once attracted two individuals to each other. Falling out of love can occur when people forget or overlook the appealing qualities and aspects of their partner that initially captivated them. As time goes on, these attributes may become less significant or may be taken for granted, leading to a decline in the emotional connection. Hence, this quote highlights the importance of continually cherishing and valuing the charming aspects of our partners to sustain a loving relationship.
