A good book about love is "The Psychology of Romantic Love" by Nathaniel Branden.
I read it when searching for answers to the same questions you pose, but from a different perspective - from that of being married for many years to someone who hasn't felt like a good match for me for many years, but I don't want to break up a family. I think even when you think you know it's the right person, and your heart is doing cartwheels, we don't see our blind spots. We don't see that we might be picking this person for the wrong reasons, unconscious reasons.
I think your head and your heart have to agree, but that's still no guarantee you won't grow apart. Anyway, that book is good. He also wrote one called the Romantic Love Question and Answer Book which was very good.
