Basic ingredients of true love: three elements: chemistry, compatibility and commitment

CHEMISTRY: Falling in love or infatuation?
Contrary to popular opinion, there is nothing magic about "falling in love." If you can breathe, you can "fall" in love. Infatuation is not initially about sex. Infatuation triggers euphoria, an altered state of consciousness induced by the action of what neurobiologists call PEA, an acronym for the chemical compound phenylethylamine. PEA, known as the "love molecule," works with the hormones dopamine and norepinephrine and triggers powerful side effects.

"Symptoms include a delightfully positive attitude, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, and loss of appetite". People who experience the state of being "in love" can be considered under the influence. It is no wonder that they tend to discount alarming qualities in their sweethearts. You may gently remind a love-struck friend: ‘Have you really considered the fact that he/she is a practicing alcoholic, has lost three jobs in a row, and has been divorced only two months?' Your friend sweetly responds: ‘We can work it out.' . . . "This delightful influence of infatuation makes us dangerously inclined to make decisions we may later regret," "It is important, though, to realize that infatuation is merely the earliest stage of love. Do not mistake this temporary power surge for a permanent condition, or confuse it with true love"

Compatibility: Sustaining a relationship
A high-compatibility couple consists of a man and woman who get along well. Kindness and respect are hallmarks of such a couple, as they are always ready to override negative interactions with positive ones.

Their compatibility and friendship dominate their relationship. They often begin their relationship as friends and progress into loving each other.

The two confide in and consult with each other regularly. They also talk with one another and laugh together often, every day, even when at work. They are good friends, enriching their friendship with love's chemistry—romance.

Commitment: Enjoying a permanent relationship
four guidelines that help define our expectations of love:

Be clear. Communication plays a vital part in a good, healthy marital relationship. Communicate clearly, avoiding assumptions and abstractions. If you want your spouse to know precisely what you're thinking, you must be deliberately specific. Try to be clear when defining your expectations.

Be realistic. When a spouse expects his or her counterpart to feel, think and talk as he or she does, that is unrealistic. Opposites attract, but why push a good thing by acting unrealistically? Spouses who are realistic with each other will promote a healthier relationship and marital environment. Unrealistic expectations lead
to marital disappointment.

Be flexible. Flexibility is a vital key to a permanent marital relationship. A couple must understand that nothing is more permanent in any marriage than change. However, one who is flexible in marriage will be willing to change how he or she relates to his or her spouse. A flexible husband and wife honor and respect each other's needs.

Be equitable. Marital partners who are equitable are fair about their expectations of each other. Sacrifice and service are important fairness ingredients. Seeking immediate self-gratification is an enemy of long-term marital happiness. Build trust and love in the relationship; be equitable.

Woah.. wad a long entry!
