The Complexity of Love and Marriage

Marriage is portrayed as the most legally significant commitment a person can undertake, second only to death. The dynamics of falling in and out of love demonstrate that romantic feelings can surface rapidly and intensely, akin to a chemically-induced high. However, the process of falling out of love often occurs gradually, until it culminates in a sudden realization, leaving individuals feeling as though they've crashed after once flying high. Understanding this complexity can help individuals prepare for the emotional lows that can accompany a romantic relationship.
