Love is just not a feeling it's a chemical process. No wonder why we can't control what we feel. Being aware about how it works will support you to enjoy each phase.
Lust: hormones flood the body with feelings of intense desire. Adrenaline and norepinephrine make the heart race, while dopamine creates feelings of euphoria.
Attraction: activates the same part of the brain as do painkillers such as morphine.This is also responsible for feelings of "liking. Blood flow usually happens during the phase when partners become fixated on each other.The serotonin drops, this is why lovers have such single-minded concentration on the object of their affection.These causes lovers to be blind to their partner's undesirable traits in the early stages of a relationship and just to focus on their positive ones.
Attachment: after being in love for some time, we develop a tolerance to the pleasurable chemicals.Oxytocin and vasopressin appear and create feelings of security and wellbeing.
