- Attraction is the temporary love, but love is the permanent attraction. Feeling attached to someone does not mean you are in love with that person. You are feeling this because you don't see any difference between the attraction and love.
- Negative…love can never conquer infidelity for me. Love does conquer all…but it has to be real. If it's TRUE love and devotion for one another! It takes both to make a relationship work and both knowing that no matter what they will work together and honor one another.
- The fact is that you can love someone forever; yet, it won't be in the manner thatyou likely thought it would be. ... It doesn't matter if that person moved on with his or her life, fell for somebody else, even became a different person; you will – always and forever – love that person.
- If you truly loved this person with all of your heart, there would be no one else. ...You can feel that love, but it does not burn brightly enough. If you cheat on someone, you simply don't love or respect that person fiercely enough. Allow me to restate my thesis: YOU CANNOT CHEAT ON SOMEONE YOU LOVE
- Liking someone means that you are happy being with that person, while lovingsomeone means that you absolutely cannot bear to be without that person. ... All in all, the difference between love and like has something to do with the depth of your emotion towards somebody.
1. Falling in Love is Like on Drugs:
That feeling of euphoria you get when you fall in love is the same feeling that drug users experience, according to one study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. Both actions trigger the release of happy hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline, giving you a natural high (that you hopefully never come down from).
2.Hugging your partner is an instant stress reliever.
Feeling stressed? Hug it out with the person you love. One study conducted by psychiatrists at the University of North Carolina found that when couples embraced, they had increased levels of oxytocin—the hormone responsible for lower stress levels and mood boosts.

3.A happy heart is a healthy heart.
Being in a loving relationship impacts your life for the better both emotionally and physically. According to one meta-analysis of more than 3.5 million people nationwide, married individuals up to the age of 50 were 12 percent less likely to experience vascular diseases compared to their divorced or single counterparts.

4.Animals commit to monogamous relationships, too.
Humans aren’t the only species in the animal kingdom that practice monogamous relationships. Out in the wild, beavers, otters, wolves, seahorses, and barn owls are just some of the species that mate for life. And for more crazy facts about the animal kingdom.
5.Couples’ heartbeats synchronize.
When you and your spouse gaze into one another’s eyes, what’s happening behind the scenes is that your heart rates are syncing up, according to research from scientists at the University of California, Davis. When they analyzed 32 heterosexual couples who sat facing one another for three minutes, the researchers found that their heart rates were nearly identical, and they speculate that this occurred because of the strong link between partners on both an emotional and physical level.
6.Being in love is the number one reason why people wed.
According to a 2013 survey from the pew Research Center, about nine in ten of all Americans cited love as an important reason to get married, compared to just 28 percent of people who said that financial stability was an important factor in whether a couple should wed. And for more matrimonial fact.
7. It’s chemically addictive.
“[Romantic love] is a very powerfully wonderful addiction when things are going well,” says Helen E. Fisher, a biological anthropologist at Rutgers University. That’s because those hormones that your brain releases when you’re in love are intensely euphoric, so much so that they can make you addicted to love—and the person you’re in love with.
8.Cuddling is good for you.
There’s a reason that you love those sacred snuggle sessions so much. Every time you and your partner cuddle, it triggers the release of happiness hormone oxytocin to increase your mood and wellbeing. This phenomenon is so well-documented, in fact, that oxytocin is often referred to as the “cuddling hormone,” or the “love hormone.”
9.Being in a relationship positively shapes your personality.
Even the most pessimistic people can change for the better with a little bit of love in their life, at least according to the findings of one study published in the Journal of Personality. After following 245 young couples for nine months, the scientists behind the study found that being in a relationship indirectly made neurotic partners more optimistic and self-confident, presumably thanks to all the positive emotions and experiences associated with the relationship. And if you’re worried you’re too pessimistic, see if you exhibit many of the 23 Signs You’re Too Negative.
10. Honesty makes for a lasting relationship.
When it comes to love and relationships, honesty really is the best policy. One study published in the journal Personal Relationships found that the more honest couples are with one another about how their relationship is going, the more likely they are to last long-term.
11.Loving from a long distance actually strengthens a relationship.
People might try to tell you that long distance relationships can’t and won’t work, but the research out there says otherwise. In fact, according to one study published in the Journal of Communication, not only are long distance relationships just as successful as regular ones, but they are also more effective in building trust and satisfaction between partners. And if the love of your life is across the country or even the globe
11.Love and laughter go hand in hand.
If you want to feel closer to your spouse, then consider watching a new comedy series together. In one studypublished in the journal Personal Relationships, researchers concluded that couples who laughed together were more supportive of one another and more satisfied in their relationship compared to their chuckle-free counterparts.
12.Being in love saves you money on trips to the doctor.
When the Health and Human Services Department analyzed studies that compared marriage and health, one of the shocking things that they found was that married people reported fewer doctor’s visits and shorter hospital stays. “The best logic for this is that human beings have been crafted by evolution to live in closely knit social groups,” Harry Reis, PhD, co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Human Relationships, explained to WebMD. “When that is not happening, the biological systems get overwhelmed.” And for more ways to stay healthy, check out the 20 Healthy Living Rules You Should Live By.
13. It helps you heal faster.
Having a loved one by your side when you’re sick or injured doesn’t just provide emotional support. When researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center gave married couples blister wounds, they found that the injuries were able to heal twice as fast when the partners shared a close bond, compared to those who were openly aggressive toward one another.
