Some people say that love eventually passes away altogether, or changes into mutual understanding, respect and habit. But few people want to believe that this fervent feeling is gradually beginning to fade.
How long will love live
Is it possible to stop loving a loved one over time? Stop loving your child? Or your parents? No! Because this love will not change throughout life. So why isn't it always the case with the opposite sex? This is because people confuse sexual attraction and desire with spiritual intimacy. Falling in love, people, in addition to lofty feelings, experience attraction and passion for each other. It is this feeling that undergoes changes over the years. People change, they get older, their sexual preferences and outlook on life change. That is why insane passion is replaced by measured relationships over time. And as for feelings, if they are really real, they remain unchanged in any life situation. If, several years after starting a relationship, you suddenly realize that your love has already died, know that you have never truly loved this person. You could have different feelings for him, but they cannot be called love.
Passion, which is often confused with love, fades away after a couple of years. Habit really replaces it. It is the extinction of passion that people often mistake for dead love.
What Scientists Say About Love
Love includes two types: the first type is love until the knees tremble, in this case, the person simply does not control himself, and becomes obsessed with the object of love. Often times, this kind of love is short-lived because it is controlled by hormones. The second type is love, accompanied by warmth, such feelings arise mainly at the very first love.
Only that love that arises and grows gradually has a lasting character. As a rule, such love is of a long-term nature, and it is this love that can be called “love for life”.
How many people have had to fall in love once and for life? After all, there are many examples of unquenchable love from life. When the best friend, having married and seemingly quite well, continues to love Sasha from the 11th "A". In this case, we are talking about the first love, which for many becomes the last. It turns out that in marriage, they only allow themselves to be loved. And the unrequited love they experienced in their youth cannot be compared with what they have today. Of course, they are easy and comfortable with a person, and the sexual and emotional side of the relationship seems to suit, but there is no that euphoria, that impulse that should be and make the heart beat wildly, from which you want to cry and laugh at the same time. At that moment, it seems that the whole world was created only for two.
According to scientists, romantic love lasts from 18 months to three years. Over time, love takes on a new kind of relationship, such as affection and respect. But is it really so? If a neighbor's boy has been loving a girl from his doorway for 10 years, starting, for example, from first grade?
It must be foolish to try to understand love scientifically. After all, love is a feeling that cannot be explained in any way.
