Just in Time for Valentine's Day

Now they tell us:

Psychologists studying relationships confirm the steady decline of romantic love. Each year, according to surveys, the average couple loses a little spark. One sociological study of marital satisfaction at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Penn State University kept track of more than 2,000 married people over 17 years. Average marital happiness fell sharply in the first 10 years, then entered a slow decline.

Wow. That's a little like saying if you jump off a 10-story building, you're going to fall sharply for 10 stories and then enter a sudden stop.

But for some people, the romantic feelings never decline. Futurepundit discusses the research to discover why and how it may lead to exchanging neuro-scans instead of phone numbers in the future.
