Love in its many, many forms is ephemeral for the most part. There does seem to be a semi-permanent emotion that most of us feel at some point though. Most parents understand this one at one level or another, and it is undeniable. To me at least, the love of my children strengthens the underlying love I have for my wife...and in some way gives its permanence to what I already feel for her.
As for Happiness,I have to disagree with the premis. I do not dwell in perpetual happiness in my marriage, but the Love is there regardless of how pissed off I may be at some point. In fact I believe it is the underlying emotional tie that dulls the occasional anger, thereby allowing for excellent make up sex.
