That's why I said most. Of course not everyone believes that, but plenty of people must since they make it a point, even a decent amount of Christians, to bury a husband and wife in side-by-side graves. Aside from being more convenient to visit both at the same location, why else would people do such a thing?
I think it's perfectly alright for love to end, it doesn't make it less "true". I think it's a bit dramatic to say it wasn't true if it only lasted for X amount of time.
Stories end. True love does not. "And they lived on together happily for the rest of their lives" is not really an ending to the love but to a story, which is acceptable.
What about when the people die?
It sounds so dramatic when you read it twice..
It depends on what you believe.

Even if you don't believe in an afterlife, I think most people who believe in true love agree that the love lives on despite death.
Actually not really, since even the Christian marriage asks "...till death do you part?"
