Questions people had for me:

Why do people fall in love?

Scientifically our brains are wired to reproduce, have sex, therefore one searches for a partner to do this with. Love also adds more meaning to life. Love is proven to make people happier and healthier. Love also makes one feel important, understood, and secure.

PEA (phenylethylamine),
Dopamine, and Norepinephrine/
Noradrenaline are all chemicals associated with love.

Why do people fall out of love?

Other than differences in a relationship. The chemicals that are released when in the beginning phases of a relationship don't affect our bodies the same because we become used to them.

Once the familiarizing happens relationships either crumble to pieces or the bond in a relationship becomes more calm and long term.
