What Is Love?

There are 5 stages of love, but many people get stuck on the 3rd. 1) Falling in love. A cloud of happiness hormones where you project all of your desires and hopes onto your partner. 2) Becoming a couple. Unity and joy abound. 3) Disillusionment. When your hopes are dashed. 4) Real Love. Your mind is freed from those illusions of a perfect partner. The person standing in front of you is not the one you imagined being with, but a real person. 5) Greater Good. You’re not just going along together through this life for the sake of it, but you live in a partnership for the sake of a bigger cause. Learn more at Brightside (3 minutes).
