The True Love Test
Is there an accurate true love test?
Everyone dreams of finding their perfect partner, but is there such a thing as true love and why do people split
up. Affairs are the number one reason people split up, and it turns out that younger women are twice as likely to
take decisive action in the case of an affair and leave. The second biggest reason people get divorced is constant
and continual arguing.
How can we test for true love to avoid making relationship mistakes?
Firstly, there is a major difference in the way men and woman think about relationships. Most men want sex,
whereas most women want love. Unfortunately as a result men often profess love to get sex. The following

Romantic Infatuation
Love seems so easy in the early days. This is because our feelings alter the way we see our partners. We
idealize them. The more in love you are with your partner the more you will idealize your partner.
Brain scans of people in love have shown that people "in love" have high activity in the part of the brain
that encourages our reward system. At the same time, the part of the brain that controls critical social and moral
judgements has low activity. There is indeed a truth in the statement that "love makes people blind". This
mechanism appears to be built into our brains to make us stay together. Researchers have shown that the effects of
these chemical changes in the brain only last for 2 to 3 years.
The Ultimate True Love Test
What make people stay together in "true love" after this initial 2 to 3 years of "blind love"
?
Scientists have recently discovered that the way your partner smiles is a great determiner for if they will stay
with you. Early childhood pictures of your potential partner can especially help determine how happy they
will be with their life in general with their choice of partner for eternity. Make sure they have lots of
happy smiling pictures of childhood.
TIP: In a playful way ask to see pictures of your potential partner when they were a child,
and keep a count of the number of happy pictures you see.
