Lust is important. I think many marriages are unhappy because lust isn't given enough respect. Women "let themselves go" or husbands stop treating their wives as desirable women (treating them like "just Moms" instead).
You can love someone, sure, but perhaps not be "in love" with them. Physical attraction and intimacy is an important component of emotional intimacy.
Lust and romantic love go hand in hand in my mind. It doesn't mean there is gonna be lust there every day, but if you've had it before I think you can get it back. However, I don't think you can get something back that wasn't there to begin with.
And I happen to think you need the potential for lust within love to co-exist with one person indefinetely.
