“While we associate love with romance and passion, making love in everyday life revolves more around an attempt to create and sustain meaning and happiness. The search for perfect love is probably as fruitless as the search for perfect happiness. Kaufmann argues that passion will always erupt in people’s lives, but that if a couple can develop a relationship based on agapic love, then it is possible for them to build a house ‘of little pleasures brick by brick’.” — Tom Inglis
