Is there more to it? www.bbc.co.uk Can one be completely cognitive about love? It is interesting to view it in terms of increased life expectancy and a heritage of polygamy. Is monogamous love natural?

It's properly though of as a verb rather than a state of being. I make my claim based on 40 years of successful marriage, while watching most of my contemporaries come and go through multiple divorces.

However, these features only skim the surface of what makes a relationship work. The ways that people talk are also important. A new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, finds that people who speak in similar styles are more compatible. Ties in with this discussion somewhat.
