Absolutely it does exist. It is very difficult to attain, and many don't. But I can assure you that it does. I am married to my wife now for 19 year. My feelings for her have grown each year to surpass what I believed was the most possible each of the previous years. We are each individuals, and individuals will have differences, but love prevails as partners find a way to resolve differences, which are an inevitable occurrence.

I'm with you, @danthegreat! Didn't think I was "cut out" for long-term relationships after 2 marriages and many other "failed" relationships, but it turns out that I was never deeply motivated by a desire to authentically connect and grow with another human being. All of my previous motivations had been superficial, at least until my current partner. We've had lots of growing pains that have deepened our love and our relationship. It has been super-hard internal work, but well worth it!
