Love cannot withstand criticism. Keely and Pierce don’t care what other people think of them since they are dedicated to one other.
As you become older, you realize that intellectual and emotional connections, not stupid notions, are what generate attraction and desire.
You spend time with someone because they are a vital part of you and you wouldn’t want to be with anyone else, in addition to the fact that they physically stimulate you.
It just suggests that you appreciate them for reasons other than their looks and traditional notions of beauty; it doesn’t imply that you aren’t still infatuated. Pierce’s love for Keely serves as evidence why you shouldn’t care what other people think.
As long as you continue to value your spouse and are willing to tolerate even the slightest “imperfections,” you will be able to find lasting joy.
These opinions just serve as a reminder that your love is more significant than these meaningless conversations that change with the seasons; they don’t need to change anything.
