Science may not have fully cracked the code of love, but having these 3 components is a positive sign for the future of a relationship
“How do I know if he/she is the one for me?”“What do I do if I’m having doubts about my relationship?”is a nuanced and unpredictable part of life. There are no guarantees or magic bullets. It’s impossible to make someone love you or for you to make yourself love someone else.
There will always be a magical and random element to love and romance that insulates it from our best efforts to grasp it fully. That said, research in the field of romantic attraction and close relationships has identified some important factors that tend to ignite the spark of love and keep the flame lit. Here are three things that have been scientifically shown to help two people click.One thing relationship scientists can say with some certainty is that opposites do not attract.
On the other hand, there is such a thing as two people being too similar. This is a less common occurrence, but it is sometimes observed by couples’ therapists. The sweet spot, it seems, is when two people have a solid bedrock of similarity—for instance, they share similar values and have overlapping interests—but they differ in ways that spice up, or complement, the relationship. This could mean that one partner is morethan the other or that one partner has a more analytical mind while the other has a creative mind. In other words, they bring something to the table that their partner doesn’t.
Of course, these are scientific generalizations and they don’t necessarily apply in every case. Some partnerships defy all the rules of what should make for a good relationship and yet they work in their own peculiar way. Sometimes, when you ask someone to explain their seemingly illogical partnership, they say, “I don’t know, it just works.” The best explanation for love is sometimes no explanation.
