What Exactly is Love?

An old article (and here) by Helen Fisher:

"The Brain system I am studying is romantic love. I began by culling from scientific literature those mental and physical traits that people regularly express when are madly in love. Next, I established that people everywhere, from the ancient Sumerians and Chinese to contemporary Tanzanians, Eskimos and Arabs, express these traits. From these preliminary investigation, I conluded that romantic love is an universal experience - deeply embedded in the human brain.

Love Can Imporve You Health

Love can be good for your health. The lowest mortality rates were found in those who were named by their partner as a key source of emotional support and closeness, but who themselves actually named someone else as the one special person in their life."
