1. Láska uľahčuje dlhší život

Spolu s láskou a manželstvom prichádza aj dlhší život. Podľa štúdie zverejnenej v časopise Journal of Marriage and Family mali ženatí jedinci o 58% menšiu pravdepodobnosť úmrtia počas 8 rokov v porovnaní s tými, ktorí sa nikdy neoženili (1).

2. Láska a chtíč ovplyvňujú rôzne oblasti mozgu

Státia na jednu noc nevedú automaticky k rozprávkovej romantike. Štúdie ukazujú, že zamilovanosť aktivuje tie oblasti mozgu, ktoré súvisia s empatiou (2). Žiadostivosť je však spojená s rôznymi oblasťami mozgu - hlavne s tými, ktoré súvisia s motiváciou a odmenou.

3. Červené ruže sú oficiálnymi kvetmi lásky

Napadlo vám niekedy, prečo sú ruže pre milovníkov vybrané kvety? Je to preto, že ruže sú považované za absolútneho favorita Venuše, rímskej bohyne lásky.

4. Láska skutočne robí bláznivé veci

Rovnako ako robiť scény, uniknúť z väzenia, aby ste videli osobu, ktorú milujete, alebo jednoducho konať hlúpo. Viete, čo sa stalo s Josephom Andrewom Dekenippom, ktorý bol väzňom v Arizone? Vystúpil z väzenia, aby sa mohol so svojou priateľkou stretnúť na Valentína.

5. Najdlhšie manželstvo na svete bolo 86 rokov

6. Láska vás robí empatickejšou a naladenejšou na vaše emócie

Keď nájdete toho, vďaka ktorému sa snažíte byť najlepšou verziou samého seba, odpovedá podľa toho aj váš mozog. Podľa štúdie publikovanej vo vedeckom časopise Cognitive, Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience , spoločenské spojenie, ktoré prichádza so šťastným vzťahom, aktivuje tie časti mozgu, ktoré sú zodpovedné za emočné spracovanie a nezištnosť (3).

7. Láska sa vyvíja vo fázach

Každý, kto niekedy zažil lásku, vie, že sa vyvíja vo fázach. Intenzita sa zvyšuje postupne. Začína sa to posadnutosťou, ktorá sa postupne pretvára v zrelšiu a chápavejšiu lásku.

8. Láska znižuje váš krvný tlak

Tí, ktorí majú vysoký krvný tlak, tiež známy ako hypertenzia, vedia o jeho asociácii so všetkým, od mŕtvice až po srdcové choroby. Podľa štúdie zverejnenej v časopise Annals of Behavioral Medicine našťastie môže šťastné manželstvo viesť k zníženiu krvného tlaku (4). Choďte pobozkať svojho partnera, aby ste boli zdraví!

9. Láska ti pomôže rýchlejšie sa vyliečiť

Mať svojho manžílek po boku, keď ste zranení alebo chorí, vám nedostane iba emocionálnu podporu. Keď partneri zdieľajú úzke puto, zranenia sa hoja rýchlejšie v porovnaní s tými, ktorí sú navzájom otvorene agresívni.

10. Muži sa zaľúbia rýchlejšie ako ženy

Štúdia publikovaná v časopise The Journal of Social Psychology uvádza, že muži urobia prvý krok, keď sa zamilujú (5). Väčšinou sú to tí, ktorí najskôr povedia „Milujem ťa“ vo vzťahu. Môže to byť preto, že ženy sa viac bojí, že im zlomia srdce.

11. Byť zamilovaný znižuje frekvenciu bolesti hlavy o polovicu

Vedci z lekárskej fakulty Stanfordskej univerzity zistili, že 50% účastníkov s bolesťami hlavy uviedlo, že sa ich bolesť znížila na polovicu asi po štyroch hodinách, keď im bol podaný nosný sprej s dávkou oxytocínu, hormónu lásky (6). Ďalších 27% uviedlo, že po rovnakom trvaní neboli vôbec žiadne bolesti.

12. Láska a smiech idú spolu

13. Diaľkové spojenie môže posilniť vzťah

Ľudia často hovoria, že vzťahy na diaľku nemôžu a nemôžu fungovať, ale výskumy hovoria inak. Podľa štúdie publikovanej v časopise Journal of Communication sú vzťahy na diaľku nielen také úspešné ako pravidelné vzťahy, ale sú tiež lepšie pri budovaní dôvery medzi partnermi (8).

14. Byť vo vzťahu môže pozitívne ovplyvniť vašu osobnosť

Pessimistic people are known to change for the better when they find a little bit of love in their life. A study published in the Journal of Personality observed 245 young couples for around nine months (9). The scientists found that neurotic partners in a relationship became more self-confident and optimistic, thanks to all the positive experiences and emotions that come with being in a relationship.

15. Love Can Ease Chronic Pain

Love isn’t going to replace modern medicine any time soon. However, it can come in handy if you ever experience serious pain. In a study conducted by the Stanford University School of Medicine, researchers found that the warm and fuzzy feeling that love creates has the same response in the brain as strong painkillers do (10).

16. Cuddling Is Actually Good For You

There’s a good reason that couples love those snuggle sessions so much. Cuddling triggers the release of oxytocin, the happiness hormone, that betters your mood and increases your feeling of well-being. This phenomenon is so well-known that oxytocin is actually referred to as the “love hormone” or the “cuddling hormone.”

17. Love Is Chemically Addictive

Romantic love is a very powerful addiction. This is because the hormones that your brain releases when you fall in love or are in love are euphoric. In fact, you may get so high that it can make you feel addicted to love as well as to the person you are in love with.

18. Love Is The Number One Reason Why People Get Married

More than 60% of the world’s population cited love as the reason they got married. The rest stated that financial stability was also an important factor.

19. The Heartbeats Of Couples Synchronize

When you and your partner gaze into each other’s eyes, what’s really happening is that your heart rates are syncing up. This has been stated by scientists at the University of California (11). The researchers have found that the couple’s heart rates were almost identical. This may be because of the strong link between couples on both physical and emotional levels.

20. Animals Commit To Monogamous Relationships As Well

Humans are not the only species in the animal kingdom that have monogamous relationships. Wolves, seahorses, beavers, otters, and barn owls are just a few of the other species that mate for life.

21. Hugging Your Partner Can Be An Instant Stress Reliever

Feeling extremely stressed? Hug it out with your lover. According to a study conducted by the University of North Carolina, psychiatrists found that when couples hugged, they had increased levels of oxytocin in their bodies (12). As mentioned before, oxytocin lowers stress levels and boosts mood. If you are having a rough day, doctors prescribe a long, tight hug!

22. Falling In Love Feels Like Being On Drugs

According to a study, that feeling of joy and euphoria you experience when you fall in love is essentially the same feeling that drug users experience (13). Both incidents trigger the release of hormones like adrenaline, dopamine, and oxytocin, giving you a real high.

23. It Can Only Take Up To 4 Minutes To Feel Attracted To Someone

24. Both Guys And Girls Must Have Required Testosterone Levels For Sexual Attraction

Yes, even girls have small amounts of testosterone in their bodies. Testosterone is responsible for creating desire as well as aggressive behavior – which actually pushes the person to pursue the object of this desire.

25. Being In Love Has Neurological Effects Same As That Of Cocaine

Being in love is almost like taking a dose of cocaine. Both experiences affect the brain in a similar way and trigger a similar sensation. Researchers have found that being in love can result in the production of several euphoria-inducing chemicals, which stimulate 12 areas of the human brain at the same time (14).

26. Couples Who Are Very Similar To Each Other Are Not Likely To Last

As everyone knows, opposites attract. Research also proves that this is at least partially true. Partners who are too similar or too different don’t last very long. There must be similarities, but there also have to be differences so that the two of you can learn from one another.

27. Heartbreak Is Real

There is evidence that severe traumatizing events, such as a divorce, death of a loved one, break-up, physical separation, cheating, or betrayal, can cause real physical pain in the area of the heart. This condition is known as Broken Heart Syndrome (15).

Intense emotional distress triggers the brain to release certain chemicals that weaken one’s heart, leading to shortness of breath and chest aches. The condition is so intense that it is often misdiagnosed as a heart attack. It affects women more often than men.

28. People Who Are In Love Have Chemical Reactions Similar To People With OCD

People in the early stages of love have lower levels of the hormone serotonin, which is directly associated with feelings of well-being and happiness. They also have higher levels of cortisol, which is associated with stress. This is very similar to those people who have OCD or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

This explains why we don’t behave like ourselves when we fall for someone. It works the other way as well – people who have lower levels of serotonin tend to fall in love and get involved in sexual relationships quicker than others.

29. Butterflies In The Stomach Are Real – They Are Caused By Adrenaline

When you fall in love with someone, you can feel the butterflies dancing, flying, and fooling around in your tummy every time you see your special someone. They are caused due to adrenaline, which is released in your body as a flight or fight response.

30. Dilated Pupils Show That You Are Attracted To Someone

Darwin has stated that pupils expand during heightened focus and attention. This is true indeed, as this mostly occurs when people gaze at a beloved one or an object of desire, even if it is only a video or a picture. Moreover, people who have dilated pupils look more attractive to others as well.

31. People Are Attracted To Those With A Different Immune System

If this isn’t weird, we don’t know what is. This was observed during a study run by Claude Wedekind of the University of Switzerland. He had female test subjects smell worn T-shirts of men (16). They consistently preferred the smell of those men’s shirts whose immune systems were different than their own.

32. Some People Can’t Feel Love

Some people who claim never to have fallen in love or felt romantic love are affected by a condition called hypopituitarism, which is a rare disease that doesn’t allow people to feel the high of love.

33. Your Body Has A “Vein Of Love”

Why are engagement rings worn on the fourth finger of the left hand? That is because the ancient Greeks believed that that finger has the vena amoris, or the “vein of love,” that connects straight to the heart. So romantic!

Láska a príťažlivosť sú zložité veci a niekedy sú úprimne čudné. Môže byť ťažké zorientovať sa v prvotných pocitoch, tak prečo skočiť úplne dovnútra a zažiť vrchol? Pri objektívnom pohľade na váš milostný život si všimnite veci, ktoré sa vám nepáčia, naplánujte si ich zmenu a pohnite sa vpred. Máte iba jednu šancu žiť život podľa svojich vlastných podmienok. Vo svojom živote už máte všetko, čo potrebujete na dosiahnutie úplného šťastia a lásky, takže sa toho nebojte. Musíte len natiahnuť ruku a chytiť ju. Všetko najlepšie!
