Love Has Healing Properties
Love has many healing properties that make it genuinely fascinating. For instance, cuddling with someone releases oxytocin, mimicking many people's feeling of taking a painkiller. The same goes for holding hands. If you hold hands with your loved one, this can work to dispel any feelings of anxiety or fear you may have, and it may also take the edge off of any physical pain you may be feeling.
Is your significant other away on business? No problem! Studies show that even looking at a picture of your loved one can reduce pain in a way that no other distractions can.
Falling in love with someone has been shown to have the same effects as taking a hit of cocaine. Both induce a sense of euphoria. However, falling in love is, of course, the healthier option — not only because it’s not an illicit substance, but also because it causes your body to release chemicals that stimulate 12 areas of your brain simultaneously! No wonder falling in love can make certain artists so creative!
On a related note, you know-how during the early days of a relationship, you tend to act less like yourself? You’re trying not to raise suspicions, but then you end up doing exactly that and give yourself away? As it turns out when we’re in a brand new relationship, our serotonin levels drop (the chemical in our brains that makes us happy), and our cortisol levels increase (the chemical that results from stress). Because of this, we legitimately display symptoms closely associated with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, rather than appearing to be in a state of pure bliss.
True Love Is Giving
Part of true love’s big reputation in our culture is its capacity to transform people in big ways. Certainly, true love requires patience, reciprocity, and some amount of selflessness, but it’s also the case that true love can imbue us with these qualities, too. Oftentimes, when we are really, truly in love with someone, we want to see them happy at all costs — our desire to give them our time, attention, affection, or gestures of appreciation increase, and we feel much more charitably towards them than we might feel towards other people in our lives.
Most importantly, our desire to give to them is anything but cynical. More than wanting to give our lover gifts to get something in return or to spice up a sexual relationship, we want to give at least partially out of our own feelings of goodwill towards them, regardless of what we’ll receive back, and regardless of many otherwise prohibitive costs.
Giving, rather than receiving, is a cardinal rule of good relationships, after all. Love requires kindness; relationships that are centered exclusively around self-motivated interests are not only toxic for our mental health, but they are also more than likely doomed to fail.
True Love Is An Awakening
Many individuals who fall in love — and stay in love long term — report that the person they ended up spending a good portion of their life with felt very different from their past partners in many ways and that their time together diverged significantly from their typical relationship patterns. The love of their life was distinct in ways that were very clear, oftentimes from some of the very first moments they ever spent together.
Maybe you’re someone who’s always been cold and cagey in new relationships, but your new partner makes you want to open up and divulge who you really are. Maybe you’ve always been into coarser, rougher guys, but a kind, a soft-spoken man catches your attention. Maybe you’ve always been more oriented towards physical attraction and sexual attraction in relationships, but this new girl is someone you could see yourself being good friends with and a good partner with. When you meet the love of your life, suddenly, the things that have typically been the most important in a relationship — great sex, good hair, a good job — can seem unimportant.
While it’s hard to say that these feelings always make for a strong, solid relationship, they speak to the unique nature of true love and how important some of these ineffable, cliched qualities like “natural chemistry” can be in how we find true love. If your partner is someone who feels different, in a good way, from the bulk of your previous partners, if you feel a way you’ve never felt before regardless of how many relationships you’ve had in the past, it might be possible that you have the real deal on your hands.
This fact also serves as a good reminder that we can find true love anywhere — not simply with the guys or gals who we’ve historically seen as being “our type.” Still, with unique people who have somehow managed to awaken a side of us we’ve never seen or imagined
