When a man loves a woman… (Has this never been said or written before?)

In a man's relationship with a woman, there is a period of time in which he loves her more than he understands her.  And then there is a period of time in which he understands her more than he loves her, whether or not he loves her any less.

These are wise words that I genuinely believe have never been spoken in any language, anywhere in this world before.  If some of you want to google around in Russian, Japanese or Swahili and find me an example of someone who has said it before, I would be interested to hear.

Now allow me to switch the genders because it is just as true when stated the other way around: when a woman loves a man, at first, in the beginning, she loves him more than she understands him.  And then, after a certain point, she understands him more than she loves him.
