Questions, questions, questions ?

For my French homework, we had to read a French short story called "L'oeuf de Paques"
We had to complete a comprehension sheet, a normal comprehension homework with context, and interpretation questions. We were also assigned "extra questions" that needed to be finished. And one of the questions stood out to me.

"Est-il possible de grader le meme amour pendant une longue relation (Comme un mariage)?"
Which pretty much means,
"Is it possible to keep the same love during a long relationship (Like a marriage)?"

I've never been in an "actual relationship" before between another person, but I'd like to think that it is possible to keep "the same love" during a long relationship.

What didn't make sense to me was that other people in my class that are in a relationship said that it is impossible to do so. If it is impossible to keep "the same love", the "same level of love", the "same person that you love", then why are they in a relationship? If you already know that it is impossible to keep "the same love", then what is the purpose of them being in a relationship?

I personally think that the purpose of dating and being in a relationship with someone is to get closer to them and hopefully get married and build a family together.

What I don't understand is, what is "keeping" their relationship together? What is the purpose of being in a relationship?
Why are they in a relationship?
Especially when they don't think that it is possible to keep "the same love".

When it comes to this question, will Christians and non-Christians answer differently? Or the same?
