How DO you know when you love someone?\u00a0 “Is it love?” is a common question asked when cupid’s arrow strikes. So what IS the real deal?<\/p>\n
Nature is very clever in design. Our Maker new what he\/she was up to when chemistry was included as part of the human package. When eyes meet across that legendary crowded room and the heart beats faster and there is the strangest feeling in the pit of the stomach……Is that love??<\/p>\n
No, that is a hormone rush!! A bucket load of endorphins is released and it feels sooooo good!!! It is also a big con! It is nature’s con to ensure the procreation of the human species.That chemical rush – commonly known by the term “falling in love” cannot possibly be sustained. It can last up to two years max, otherwise our whole endocrine system would fall down flat.<\/p>\n
The trouble is it feels so wonderful, that those stricken with this form of psychosis want it to last forever. It can’t. Just like a drug addict cannot maintain high levels of drugs of addiction without serious consequences.<\/p>\n
I found an interesting article to follow on from this called titled “How do you know when you love someone?”<\/a> Following is an excerpt and by following the links, you can read the whole article……..<\/p>\n “I used to believe that love was a light switch. Something flicks on. You get an overwhelming sensation. It hits you like a bag of bricks. Or a strong arrow. When you know, you know. Right? Not so much. After 38 years and an expired marriage, I don\u2019t see love that way anymore. \u00a0I\u2019ve placed Cupid right next to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.<\/p>\n Love is a series of choices. \u00a0The first choice is based on many many factors, including chemistry, principle, logic, humor, intelligence, body type, where we are in our lives, what we want \/ need\u2026 the list goes on and on, and the weight of each factor varies depending on the individual. \u00a0Based on these factors, we either choose to begin the process to love or not. If we decide to enter this process, the action of loving can bring \u201clight switch\u201d moments. The way he looks at you. How hard she make you laugh. The notes he hides in your purse. The way she makes you feel when you don\u2019t feel anything. But like an airplane flight, there is turbulence. The fights. The disagreements. The little things that bother you. His socks. Her shopping. You start wondering if you\u2019ve made the right choice. Once you are in doubt, you have to make another choice. To continue to fly with this person or jump out of the plane. This choice is based on a thousand other factors, again depending on the individual and where they are in their journey.<\/p>\n If you decide to jump, the scary free fall will either make you stronger (grow) or miserable (depressed). But sooner or later, you\u2019ll find yourself back at the airport waiting to board another plane. Then you hit turbulence. Or maybe there is no turbulence. Maybe you\u2019ve changed your mind about the destination. \u00a0Either way, another choice. Fly or jump?”<\/p>\n Read full article: How do you know when you love someone?<\/a><\/p>\n Relationship Counselling by Christine Bennett caring4couples.com.au
