I think my opinion on this question is similar to that of jenn, kck23ky, and dcran--the real world evidence says that it doesn't, and the idea of love being either unconditional or eternal is more like fantasy than fact.
In the real world as we know it, most marriages eventually fail, and most of those divorces end up being vicious and hateful. This does not even consider that most people fall in love with and then out of love with at least one person before they meet the one they marry. So, what happens to all of that love? If any of us has been in love, and love is supposed to be eternal, then where is all of that past love now?
As for love being eternal as long as we work hard at it to keep it alive--if love is truly eternal, then by definition it would last forever whether we worked at it or not. Therefore, a love that requires work can not by its very definition be forever.
I believe that it is usually the relationship that requires lots of work to maintain, not the love in it. That's why a person who loses a loved one can keep loving that person for years to come, sometimes for the rest of their life--the relationship is gone, but the love remains even though there is no longer any work being put into it. That's also why we often continue to love someone even though the relationship is on the rocks--it's not the love that requires work, it's the relationship. Does the fact that the love persists after a person's death mean that the love is eternal? No, because we've all been in love with someone who left us one way or another, and most of us can claim that we no longer love that person. If our love was eternal, then we would love them always no matter what.
Some religions believe that love is a spiritual thing that goes on after death, but the definition of that love is generally not the same as the kind that we use in our relationships. Relationship love is a mix of many emotions, of which spiritual love is just one component. Lust and physical love are also major components (if you care at all about how a person looks and the "chemistry" that you have with them, then your love is not a pure spiritual love). I believe that God's love is pure and eternal, but that we as humans are generally incapable of feeling that type of love for each other because we have too many human factors in the mix.
