Abstract

The article explores the science of love, focusing on the biological processes that underpin romantic relationships, as explained by Arthur C. Brooks, a Harvard professor and author. Brooks outlines a four-step process of falling in love, which includes attraction, euphoria, obsession, and ultimately, pair bonding, where partners develop a deep connection characterized by companionship and commitment. He critiques dating apps for their superficiality and emphasizes the importance of compatibility based on shared interests. To maintain love, Brooks advises couples to respect the biological aspects of love, engage in meaningful activities together, and foster physical touch to enhance emotional bonding.
