The secret is in working the brain chemistry behind love, says the Kinsey Institute’s Helen Fisher.
Go slow, Romeo
Romance triggers the same mind-deranging dopamine circuitry as cocaine. No Vegas weddings.
Be surprising
That love high thrives on novelty: Bring flowers not on Valentine’s Day.
No dalliance
Sex sparks a chain reaction in your brain that leads to attachment. That’s nature’s recipe for families. Be strong. Semper fi.
Hold hands
A simple touch showers your partner’s brain with oxytocin, letting them know all is right in your (shared) world.
