The Science of Love, Attraction and Heartbreak

Valentine's Day is a holiday that celebrates love, romance and the story of St. Valentine.  It's a day made for lovers and couples.  But single or married, divorced or engaged, we are in need of this thing called love.  Some of us search all of our lives for it.  It's an emotion that fuels the fire of amazing love songs, moving poems, and great art.  But, as Tina Turner sang, "what does love have to do with it?"  It really is just a chemical reaction.  You can't fake it or duplicate it.  But, there is a science to this thing called love.  Check out this video from the History Channel on the science of love and attraction.


Love is all well and good until your love interest doesn't return your affection.  So, how do we respond to rejection when our love isn't returned?  Believe it or not, that is also a chemical reaction.  More from the History Channel on the science of love and heartbreak.


Happy Valentine's Day!  Whether you are in love or mending a broken heart, remember that you are worthy of an abundance of love and recall the words from a Whitney Houston song:

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
