Think of the worst couple you know ... yeah, those two.
What does the one see in the other? Why are they still together? How can they insist they love the other?
It actually makes sense. For that couple to have stayed together this long, [at least] one had to convince themselves they really love the other. They amplify that abstract ideal and cling more and more to it despite there being nothing substantial behind it. In a sense it's like a bad addiciton: bit by bit they delude themselves they are better off; ignoring all objective considerations that say otherwise.
