I don't know about traditional basis, or religious impact, and perhaps it's just the hopeless romantic in me; but. . . love, real LOVE, means that you don't fall out of it, to REALLY love a person means giving them a part of yourself that you can't ever take back.
I'm not just spouting rhetoric either, I can't stand my ex in most ways and in fact there are things that make me hate her but on the other hand I also really did love her and I still do. That doesn't mean that we can be together because love by itself isn't enough, at least it isn't if the other person doesn't love you back the same way.
I guess what I really think is that too many people use the word "love" way too casually. It's a sad thing but I worry that a large part of the world doesn't even know what it really means to love another person.
