Who Says the Honeymoon Must End?
We think of the honeymoon as the beginning of the marriage—that initial burst of physical love—that period of passionate ecstasy between the wedding ceremony and the return to the normal responsibilities of everyday life. Nothing is wrong with thinking about the honeymoon in this way. But it does imply that the honeymoon is only for newlyweds and is only temporary.

As long as there was breath in his lungs, the name of Christ would be on his lips, and the passion of God would throb in his heart.
Strengthening Your Grip on Godliness

Temptation and Reality
