Maintaining Love: The Three Brain Systems
Maintaining love involves maintaining three brain systems: the sex drive, romantic love, and deep attachment. To sustain romantic love, engage in novelty activities to boost the dopamine system. For attachment, stay physically connected through hugs, kisses, and physical proximity to stimulate the oxytocin system. Long-term happy marriages show active brain systems related to empathy, self-control, and positive illusions. It is important to work on these aspects to remain in love long-term.
