When I've begun a relationship on a hormonal high, itıs ended after six to twelve months. What is different about my relationship with Daniel is that we never had that hormonal high. ... I don't mean that we have a dreary relationship devoid of sexiness and sparkle. It's just that, instead of having all that in one dizzying gooey stage at the beginning, we've somehow managed to distribute it into a lot of little moments over a long time. Instead of going through stages, our relationship has been a smooth slope of gradually increasing commitment, intimacy, love, and happiness.
