Then again, the honeymoon period of any new relationship is a great buzz, maybe not as over the top, but a major feel-good nonetheless.  Our job now is to find one of those that isn't based on fantasy and lies; we'll know we've found one because when it mellows, a sustainable long term relationship can be built, based on mutual trust, honestly and integrity.
