Ever experience crazy love? I mean, you know, the drive over the cliff, I’m going to die without you love? Well, turns out that new brain research has insights on what makes us fall in love, stay in love and choose love over lust.
According to brain researchers, there are three kinds of love – sexual, romantic and attachment. Those of us who fall in love and stay in love tend to run the three kinds of love at various times. Those of us who don’t, tend to start with romantic love and end the relationship when romantic love fades.
Mark and I have been married for 10 years and I’m still amazed at our connection. It makes me think of Tom Cruise’s over the top sharing on Oprah when he told her about Kate, as he calls her. I still want to be with Mark. He’s the one I dream of. I can’t think of wanting to talk to anyone else about everything. I remember a few years ago realizing that our relationship had something special. It had staying power. Many people over the years have told us we inspired them…that our romantic connection can be felt when they are around us. Others have said that we have helped them believe in true love. If you all only knew the true story of what we’ve been through together…you would be even more inspired. Our relationship is definitely a soul agreement and love.
I had been married before and by the time six months rolled around, I knew something was very wrong. I didn’t have an attachment to my then husband. I enjoyed our friendship, but the spark was gone. Eventually we were more like roommates than soul mates. I’m even more thankful today for Mark because of my first marriage. I know our relationship is special – once in a lifetime.
Nightline Prime ran a special tonight called, The Secrets of Your Mind. It was the first of four parts. i guess even crazy love can be seen in our minds. And, as it turns out, it shows up in the “addiction” part of our minds. I can’t think of any better addiction. Can you?
