Scientific research - how much time is needed for true love?

An international team of scientists has concluded that the process of falling in love cannot be confined to specific time frames. According to recent studies, the path to love is unique for each person and depends on many factors, including individual personality traits and circumstances of meeting. These findings are confirmed by positive psychology expert, Professor Saide Heshmati.

Research by Dr. Sandra Langeslag from the University of Missouri sheds light on the dynamics of romantic relationships. Scientists have found that romantic love is a temporary phenomenon that gives way to a deeper attachment. Notably, even this attachment can undergo changes throughout decades of living together.

Of particular interest are parallels with the animal world. A remarkable discovery was made while studying prairie voles: these small creatures can form strong lifelong bonds in just 24 hours. Professor Steven Phelps notes that the key factor in forming these bonds is intensive interaction during the first six hours of acquaintance, indicating the complexity and multifaceted nature of romantic behavior even in the animal world.
