Scientists (Gian C. Gonzaga et al.) have found that love serves a function distinct from desire and that love can operate as a commitment device. (Eva L. Wyss) Over the past two centuries concepts of love, as well as the nature of intimate relations, have undergone modifications. Along with these modifications, the language of desire, the text type of the love letter and love-letter writing practice have changed as well.
( Rachel Nowak) Romantic thoughts about a regular partner help to keep us from straying into illicit sexual liaisons. (Susan Sprecher) Love and related phenomena increases with time that is "I love you more today than yesterday". (Abraham Tesser et al.) In love thought about other and love for other have a positive causal impact on one another. Research ( L. L. Bachand et al.) shows that friendship, love and similar backgrounds or interests are most commoc factors for the longevity of a happy marriage.
