Passage 4
　　Although passionate love burns hot, it inevitably simmers down. The cooling of passionate love over time and the growing importance of other factors, such as shared values, can be seen in the feelings of those who enter arranged versus love-based marriages in India. Usha Gupta asked 50 couples in Jaipur, India, to complete a love scale. They found that those who married for love reported diminishing feelings of love if they had been married more than five years. By contrast, those in arranged marriages reported more love if they were not newlyweds. Other studies provide a mixed picture of arranged marriages confirming Gupta and Singh’s finding of successful arranged marriages in India, but observing that Chinese and Japanese women were happier if they chose their mates.
　　The cooling of intense romantic love often triggers a period of disillusion, especially among those who regard that romantic love as essential both for a marriage and for its continuation. Jeffry Simpson suspect “the sharp rise in the divorce rate in the past tow decades in linked, at least in part, to the growing importance of intense positive emotional experiences (e. g. romantic love) in people’s lives, experiences that may be particularly difficult to sustain over time. ”
　　The decline in intense mutual fascination may be natural and adaptive for species survival. The result of passionate love frequently is children, whose survival is aided by the parents waning obsession with each other. Nevertheless, for those married more than 20 years, some of the lost romantic feeling is often renewed as the family nest empties and the parents are once again free to focus their attention on each other. If the relationship has been intimate and mutually rewarding, companionate love rooted in a rich history of share experiences deepens.
