Pick one only. What's more important in a marriage---romantic love or the love based on care and trust that develops between partners over time?

Many people marry when they fall madly in love, but sometimes over time, this romantic love dissipates and they divorce. Others marry because their marriages were arranged, not because they “fell in love”, and yet their marriage works because both partners learn to love each other over time, through care, trust, and loyalty. Some arranged marriages fail too because the partners do not love each other romantically, and some marriages where partners initially “fell in love” with each other last the course of their lifetime. Then there are marriages where people have fallen in love, and over time the initial romantic love is replaced by caring love. So what in your opinion is more important, romantic love or caring love based on trust and loyalty? Personally, I think the latter is more important, because too many people divorce when they “fall out of love” or grow “disinterested in each other.”
