I could have a long rant about how love is rare, and hard, and takes a lot of effort. Or I could talk about my great grandpa who, after his wife died, was refused by the nursing home because he was too healthy, but died when he stopped eating because he just didn't care about life anymore. Or my wife's grandparents who usually win the "who's been married the longest" competitions and wouldn't know what to do without the other one.

And to everyone using the immune system compatibility research to say that love is just a chemical reaction, you really need to understand something: there's a difference between "I like how you smell" and "I want to be with you every day for the rest of my life." If you like how the other person smells, living with them is a lot easier, but it's not a requirement, and liking the smell of someone is definitely not the same as loving them.Genericjim101 said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V32g3CwDHzg John C McGinley as Dr Cox summed it up nicely : D.
