My opinion is that we're capable of actually choosing that. We can choose to believe that we're not in control of whether the biological attraction "wears off" as it's "designed to". I'm sure there are plenty of scientific studies to support that belief. But it's just a belief. There's another belief that says we can consciously choose attraction, and renew it endlessly, based on what we pay attention to, and the emotion we infuse it with. They're all choices.
Our minds are pretty good at coming up with great reasons to support any choice we make, even if we didn't consciously make the choice. Perhaps it's a matter of how conscious we are of our choice-making.
