According to the 2009  General Psychology Review, love is more passionate in the early stages of a romance  (passionate love). That is, this form of love is more passionate and filled with the desire to have each other completely.
Meanwhile, in a love relationship that has existed for a long time, their nature becomes sincere love (compassionate love). This form of love is more about small everyday behaviors that make you both  feel comfortable. In summary, love can still exist, but the form will change to be less conspicuous.
4. A Psychological Relaxation
Falling in love is a clinical-psychological process that causes the body to respond by releasing dopamine. After that, the body  also produces PEA (phenylethylamine), which makes you focus on paying attention to the details of the person you love.
This is why a person can sometimes smile and laugh to themselves without realizing it  because  dopamine and PEA levels are high in the body. On a normal level, falling in love can be viewed as psychological relaxation where it can keep mental health in good shape.
This is an explanation of love that often confuses us, love is not only a psychological state but also a biological state that we all definitely feel. Love is a complex and dynamic feeling. We hope this article can help you understand more about the process of falling in love and approach those feelings with greater maturity.
