Falling out of Love

Can you "fall out of love"?
This is something I've been thinking about for a while.  "Falling in love" is a very common phrase.  But after falling in love, can you fall out of it? Hmm...
I'm one of those Christians that believe the Bible can help you in every situation, and has the answer to every life question.  You just have to look hard enough.  So where's the answer to this one?
  
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says: "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.

Love never ends.  God can not lie.  And since the Bible is the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16), everything in the Bible is true.  So when the always-existing, eternal God says "Love never ends," I take that as it never, ever, ever, ends.  So, according to the all-knowing, all-seeing, God who has no beginning or end, you can not fall out of love.
But you know what the Bible doesn't say?  It doesn't say "Like never ends."  Neither does it say "Attraction never ends."  Maybe, if you believe that you have fallen out of love, you never really fell into love.     
Guess what?  Jesus fell in love with you.  Actually, 1 John says "God is love."  So, Jesus fell in Himself with you.  And God/Love never end.
