The word "romance" comes from the French [[vernacular]] where initially it indicated a [[Narrative poetry|verse narrative]]. The word was originally an adverb of Latin origin, "romanicus," meaning "of the [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] style". European medieval vernacular tales, [[Epic poetry|epics]], and [[Ballad|ballads]] generally dealt with [[Chivalric romance|chivalric adventure]], not bringing in the concept of [[love]] until late into the seventeenth century.

The word ''romance'' developed other meanings, such as the early nineteenth century Spanish and Italian definitions of "adventurous" and "passionate," which could intimate both "love affair" and "idealistic quality."

[[Anthropology|Anthropologists]] such as [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]] show that there were complex forms of courtship in ancient as well as contemporary primitive societies. There may not be evidence, however, that members of such societies formed loving relationships distinct from their established customs in a way that would parallel modern romance.<ref>Lévi-Strauss pioneered the scientific study of the betrothal of cross cousins in such societies, as a way of solving such technical problems as the [[avunculate]] and the [[incest taboo]] (''Introducing Lévi-Strauss''), pp. 22–35.</ref>

Before the 18th century, many marriages were not arranged, but rather developed out of more or less spontaneous relationships.{{cn|date=December 2018}} After the 18th century, illicit relationships took on a more independent role. In bourgeois marriage, illicitness may have become more formidable and likely to cause tension.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nordan dayal wiki|url=http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Romance|accessdate=25 May 2017}}</ref> In ''Ladies of the Leisure Class'', [[Rutgers University]] professor Bonnie G. Smith depicts courtship and marriage rituals that may be viewed as oppressive to modern people. She writes "When the young women of the Nord{{who|date=December 2018}} married, they did so without illusions of love and romance. They acted within a framework of concern for the reproduction of bloodlines according to financial, professional, and sometimes political interests." Subsequent [[sexual revolution]] has lessened the conflicts arising out of liberalism, but not eliminated them.{{cn|date=December 2018}}

[[Anthony Giddens]], in ''The Transformation of Intimacy: Sexuality, Love and Eroticism in Modern Society'', states that romantic love introduced the idea of a [[narrative]] to an individual's life, and telling a story is a root meaning of the term ''romance''. According to Giddens, the rise of romantic love more or less coincided with the emergence of the [[novel]]. It was then that romantic love, associated with [[freedom]] and therefore the ideals of romantic love, created the ties between freedom and [[self-realization]]<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/852758647|title=The Transformation of Intimacy : Sexuality, Love and Eroticism in Modern Societies.|last=Anthony.|first=Giddens,|date=2013|publisher=Wiley|isbn=9780745666501|location=Hoboken|oclc=852758647}}</ref>.{{cn|date=December 2018}}

David R. Shumway states that "the discourse of intimacy" emerged in the last third of the 20th century, intended to explain how marriage and other relationships worked, and making the specific case that emotional closeness is much more important than [[Passion (emotion)|passion]], with intimacy and romance coexisting.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/?id=KdVa73vN1BgC&dq=modern+love+by+David+R.+Shumway&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false| title=Romance, Intimacy, and The Marriage Crisis|accessdate= 2010-07-08|isbn=978-0-8147-9831-7|author1=Shumway, David R|year=2003}}</ref>

One example of the changes experienced in relationships in the early 21st century was explored by Giddens regarding [[homosexual]] relationships. According to Giddens, since homosexuals were not able to marry they were forced to pioneer more open and negotiated relationships. These kinds of relationships then permeated the heterosexual population.{{cn|date=December 2018}}

<!--The conception of romantic love was popularized in [[Western culture]] by the concept of [[courtly love]]. [[Knight|Chevaliers]], or knights in the [[Middle Ages]], engaged in what were usually non-physical and non-marital relationships with women of nobility whom they served. These relations were highly elaborate and ritualized in a complexity that was steeped in a framework of tradition, which stemmed from theories of etiquette derived out of [[chivalry]] as a moral code of conduct.

Courtly love and the notion of [[domnei]] were often the subjects of [[troubadours]], and could be typically found in artistic endeavors such as lyrical narratives and poetic prose of the time. Since [[marriage]] was commonly nothing more than a formal arrangement,<ref>[http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/courtly-love.htm Middle Ages.com - Courtly Love]</ref> courtly love sometimes permitted expressions of emotional closeness that may have been lacking from the union between husband and wife.<ref>[http://www.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/medieval/love.html Courtly Love and the origins of romance]</ref> In terms of courtly love, "lovers" did not necessarily refer to those engaging in [[Human sexual activity|sexual]] acts, but rather, to the act of caring and to emotional intimacy.

The bond between a knight and his [[Lady]], or the woman of typically high stature of whom he served, may have escalated psychologically but seldom ever physically.<ref name="employees.oneonta.edu">[http://employees.oneonta.edu/farberas/ARTH/arth214_folder/courtly_love_.html A History of Women: Silences of the Middle Ages]</ref> For [[knighthood]] during the Middle Ages, the intrinsic importance of a code of conduct was in large part as a value system of rules codified as a guide to aid a knight in his capacity as champion of the downtrodden, but especially in his service to the Lord.

In the context of dutiful service to a woman of high social standing, ethics designated as a code were effectively established as an institution to provide a firm moral foundation by which to combat the idea that unfit attentions and affections were to ever be tolerated as "a secret game of trysts" behind closed doors. Therefore, a knight trained in the substance of "chivalry" was instructed, with especial emphasis, to serve a lady most honorably, with purity of heart and mind. To that end, he committed himself to the welfare of both Lord and Lady with unwavering discipline and devotion, while at the same time, presuming to uphold core principles set forth in the code by the religion by which he followed.<ref name="employees.oneonta.edu"/>

Religious meditations upon the [[Virgin Mary]] were partially responsible for the development of chivalry as an ethic and lifestyle: the concept of the honor of a lady and knightly devotion to her, coupled with an obligatory respect for all women, factored prominently as central to the very identity of medieval knighthood. As knights were increasingly emulated, eventual changes were reflected in the inner-workings of [[feudal]] society. Members of the [[aristocracy]] were schooled in the principles of chivalry, which facilitated important changes in attitudes regarding the value of women.<ref>''International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: K-P'' by Geoffrey W. Bromiley 1994 {{ISBN|0-8028-3783-2}} page 272</ref>

Behaviorally, a knight was to regard himself towards a lady with a transcendence of premeditated thought—his virtue ingrained within his character. A [[Knight|chevalier]] was to conduct himself always graciously, bestowing upon her the utmost courtesy and attentiveness. He was to echo shades of this to all women, regardless of class, age, or status.<ref name=sweeney>[[James Ross Sweeney]] (1983). "Chivalry", in ''[[Dictionary of the Middle Ages]]'', Volume III.</ref> Over time, the concept of chivalry and the notion of the courtly [[gentleman]] became synonymous with the ideal of how love and romance should exist between the sexes. Through the timeless popularization in art and literature of tales of knights and princesses, kings and queens, a formative and long standing (sub)consciousness helped to shape relationships between men and women.

[[De amore (Andreas Capellanus)|De amore]] or ''The Art of Courtly Love'', as it is known in English, was written in the 12th century. The text is widely misread as permissive of extramarital affairs. However, it is useful to differentiate the physical from without: romantic love as separate and apart from [[courtly love]] when interpreting such topics as: "Marriage is no real excuse for not loving", "He who is not jealous cannot love", "No one can be bound by a double love", and "When made public love rarely endures".<ref>[http://www.astro.umd.edu/~marshall/chivalry.html The Art of Courtly Love by Andreas Capellanus] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100123205411/http://www.astro.umd.edu/~marshall/chivalry.html |date=2010-01-23 }}</ref>

Some believe that romantic love evolved independently in multiple cultures. For example, in an article presented by Henry Grunebaum, he argues "[[Psychotherapy|therapists]] mistakenly believe that romantic love is a [[phenomenon]] unique to Western cultures and first expressed by the troubadours of the Middle Ages."<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1111/j.1752-0606.1997.tb01037.x | volume=23 | title=THINKING ABOUT ROMANTIC/EROTIC LOVE | year=1997 | journal=Journal of Marital and Family Therapy | pages=295–307 | last1 = Grunebaum | first1 = Henry}}</ref>

The more current and Western traditional terminology meaning "court as lover" or the general idea of "romantic love" is believed to have originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, primarily from that of the French culture. This idea is what has spurred the connection between the words "romantic" and "lover", thus [[neologism|coining]] English phrases for romantic love such as "loving like the Romans do". The precise origins of such a connection are unknown, however. Although the word "romance" or the equivalents thereof may not have the same connotation in other cultures, the general idea of "romantic love" appears to have crossed cultures and been accepted as a concept at one point in time or another.-->

Romantic love is contrasted with [[platonic love]], which in all usages precludes sexual relations, yet only in the modern usage does it take on a fully [[nonsexual]] sense, rather than the classical sense, in which sexual drives are sublimated. [[Sublimation (psychology)|Sublimation]] tends to be forgotten in casual thought about love aside from its emergence in psychoanalysis and Nietzsche.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}}

[[Unrequited love]] can be romantic in different ways: comic, tragic, or in the sense that sublimation itself is comparable to romance, where the spirituality of both art and [[egalitarian]] ideals is combined with strong character and emotions. Unrequited love is typical of the period of [[romanticism]], but the term is distinct from any romance that might arise within it.<ref>Beethoven, however, is the case in point. He had brief relationships with only a few women, always of the nobility. His one actual engagement was broken off mainly because of his conflicts with noble society as a group. This is evidenced in his biography, such as in Maynard Solomon's account.</ref>

Romantic love may also be classified according to two categories, "popular romance" and "divine or spiritual" romance:

;Popular romance: may include but is not limited to the following types: idealistic, normal intense (such as the emotional aspect of "[[falling in love]]"), predictable as well as unpredictable, consuming (meaning consuming of time, energy and emotional withdrawals and bids), intense but out of control (such as the aspect of "falling out of love") material and commercial (such as societal gain mentioned in a later section of this article), physical and sexual, and finally grand and demonstrative.
;Divine (or spiritual) romance: may include, but is not limited to these following types: realistic, as well as plausible unrealistic, optimistic as well as pessimistic (depending upon the particular beliefs held by each person within the relationship.), abiding (e.g. the theory that each person had a predetermined stance as an agent of choice; such as "choosing a husband" or "choosing a soul mate."), non-abiding (e.g. the theory that we do not choose our actions, and therefore our romantic love involvement has been drawn from sources outside of ourselves), predictable as well as unpredictable, self-control (such as obedience and sacrifice within the context of the relationship) or lack thereof (such as disobedience within the context of the relationship), emotional and personal, soulful (in the theory that the mind, soul, and body, are one connected entity), intimate, and infinite (such as the idea that love itself or the love of a [[god]] or God's "unconditional" love is or could be everlasting)<ref>Romance In Marriage: Perspectives, Pitfalls, and Principles, by Jason S.

<!--[[File:Eros bow Musei Capitolini MC410.jpg|thumb|Roman copy of a Greek sculpture by [[Lysippus]] depicting [[Eros]], the Greek personification of romantic love]]

Greek philosophers and authors have had many theories of love. Some of these theories are presented in [[Plato]]'s ''Symposium''. Six Athenian friends, including Socrates, drink wine and each give a speech praising the [[deity]] [[Eros]]. When his turn comes, [[Aristophanes]] says in his [[myth]]ical speech that sexual partners seek each other because they are descended from beings with spherical torsos, two sets of human limbs, genitalia on each side, and two faces back to back. Their three forms included the three permutations of pairs of gender (i.e. one masculine and masculine, another feminine and feminine, and the third masculine and feminine) and they were split by the gods to thwart the creatures' assault on heaven, recapitulated, according to the comic playwright, in other myths such as the [[Aloadae]].<ref>''Symposium 189d ff.</ref>

This story is relevant to modern romance partly because of the image of reciprocity it shows between the sexes. In the final speech before [[Alcibiades]] arrives, [[Socrates]] gives his encomium of love and desire as a lack of being, namely, the being or form of [[beauty]].-->

<!-- Though there are many theories of romantic love—such as that of [[Robert Sternberg]], in which it is merely a mean combining liking and [[sexual desire]]—the major theories involve far more insight. For most of the 20th century, Freud's theory of the family drama dominated theories of romance and sexual relationships. This gave rise to a few counter-theories. Theorists like Deleuze counter Freud and [[Jacques Lacan]] by attempting to return to a more naturalistic philosophy:

[[René Girard]] argues that romantic attraction is a product of [[jealousy]] and rivalry—particularly in a [[love triangle|triangular form]].

Girard, in any case, downplays romance's individuality in favor of [[jealousy]] and the [[love triangle]], arguing that romantic attraction arises primarily in the observed attraction between two others. A natural objection is that this is [[circular reasoning]], but Girard means that a small measure of attraction reaches a critical point insofar as it is caught up in [[mimesis]]. Shakespeare's ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'', ''As You Like It'', and ''The Winter's Tale'' are the best known examples of competitive-induced romance.<ref>In works such as ''A Theatre of Envy'' and ''Things Hidden Since the Foundation of The World'', Girard presents this mostly original theory, though finding a major precedent in Shakespeare on the structure of rivalry, claiming that it—rather than Freud's theory of the primal horde—is the origin of religion, ethics, and all aspects of sexual relations.</ref>

Girard's theory of mimetic desire is controversial because of its alleged [[sexism]]. This view has to some extent supplanted its predecessor, Freudian Oedipal theory. It may find some spurious support in the supposed attraction of women to aggressive men. As a technique of attraction, often combined with irony, it is sometimes advised that one feign toughness and disinterest, but it can be a trivial or crude idea to promulgate to men, and it is not given with much understanding of mimetic desire in mind. Instead, cultivating a spirit of self-sacrifice, coupled with an attitude of appreciation or contemplation, directed towards the other of one's attractions, constitutes the ideals of what we consider to be true romantic love. Mimesis is always the desire to possess, in renouncing it we offer ourselves as a sacrificial gift to the other.<ref>Things Hidden from the Foundation of the World, Rene Girard, Stanford University Press, 1978, pp. 283–350.</ref>

Mimetic desire is often challenged by [[feminists]], such as [[Toril Moi]],<ref>The Missing Mother: The Oedipal Rivalries of René Girard. Toril Moi, Diacritics Vol. 12, No. 2, Cherchez la Femme Feminist Critique/Feminine Text (Summer, 1982), pp. 21–31</ref> who argue that it does not account for the woman as inherently desired.

Though the centrality of rivalry is not itself a cynical view, it does emphasize the mechanical in love relations. In that sense, it does resonate with [[capitalism]] and [[Cynicism (contemporary)|cynicism]] native to post-modernity. Romance in this context leans more on fashion and irony, though these were important for it in less emancipated times. [[Sexual revolution]]s have brought change to these areas. Wit or irony therefore encompass an instability of romance that is not entirely new but has a more central social role, fine-tuned to certain modern peculiarities and subversion originating in various social revolutions, culminating mostly in the 1960s.<ref>A contemporary irony toward romance is perhaps the expression "throwing game" or simply game. In Marxism the romantic might be considered an example of alienation.</ref> -->

<!-- The process of courtship also contributed to [[Arthur Schopenhauer]]'s pessimism, despite his own romantic success,<ref>''Essays and Aphorisms''</ref> and he argued that to be rid of the challenge of courtship would drive people to suicide with boredom. Schopenhauer theorized that individuals seek partners who share certain interests and tastes, while at the same time looking for a "complement" or completing of themselves in a partner, as in the [[cliché]] that "opposites attract", but with the added consideration that both partners manifest this attraction for the sake of the species:

<blockquote>But what ultimately draws two individuals of different sex exclusively to each other with such power is the will-to-live which manifests itself in the whole species, and here anticipates, in the individual that these two can produce, an objectification of its true nature corresponding to its aims.

Later modern philosophers such as [[François de La Rochefoucauld (writer)|La Rochefoucauld]], [[David Hume]] and [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]] also focused on [[morality]], but desire was central to French thought and Hume himself tended to adopt a French worldview and temperament. Desire in this milieu meant a very general idea termed "the passions", and this general interest was distinct from the contemporary idea of "passionate" now equated with "romantic". Love was a central topic again in the subsequent movement of [[Romanticism]], which focused on such things as absorption in nature and the [[absolute (philosophy)|absolute]], as well as [[Platonic love|platonic]] and unrequited love in German philosophy and literature.

French philosopher [[Gilles Deleuze]] linked this concept of love as a lack mainly to [[Sigmund Freud]], and Deleuze often criticized it. -->

Shakespeare and [[Søren Kierkegaard]] share a similar viewpoint that marriage and romance are not harmoniously ''in tune'' with each other. In Shakespeare's ''[[Measure for Measure]]'', for example, "...there has not been, nor is there at this point, any display of affection between Isabella and the Duke, if by affection we mean something concerned with sexual attraction. The two at the end of the play love each other as they love virtue."<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Nathan | first1 = Norman | year = 1956 | title = The Marriage of Duke Vincentio and Isabella | url = | journal = Shakespeare Quarterly | volume = 7 | issue = 1| pages = 43–45 | doi=10.2307/2866112}}</ref> In ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'', in saying "all combined, save what thou must combine By holy marriage", [[Romeo]] implies that it is not marriage with Juliet that he seeks but simply to be joined with her romantically.

Kierkegaard addressed these ideas in works such as ''Either/Or'' and ''[[Stages on Life's Way]]'':
{{quote|''In the first place, I find it comical that all men are in love and want to be in love, and yet one never can get any illumination upon the question what the lovable, i.e., the proper object of love, really is.''

In ''[[How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time]]'', British writer [[Iain King]] tried to establish rules for romance applicable across most cultures. He concluded on six rules, including:
# Do not flirt with someone unless you might mean it.
# Do not pursue people who you are not interested in, or who are not interested in you.
# In general, express your affection or uncertainty clearly, unless there is a special reason not to.<ref>''[[How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time|How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time: Solving the Riddle of Right and Wrong]]'', 2008, p. 154</ref>

Many theorists attempt to analyze the process of romantic love.{{cn|date=September 2018}}

Anthropologist [[Helen Fisher (anthropologist)|Helen Fisher]], in her book ''Why We Love'',<ref>Helen Fisher, 2004, "Why We Love" Henry Holt and Company LLC, 175 Fifth Ave. New York, NY 10010, {{ISBN|0-8050-7796-0}}</ref> uses brain scans to show that love is the product of a chemical reaction in the brain. [[Norepinephrine]] and [[dopamine]], among other brain chemicals, are responsible for excitement and bliss in humans as well as non-human animals. She is famous{{peacock term|date=September 2018}} for the use of MRI to study the brain activity of a person "in love", discovering the importance of the [[ventral tegmental area]] and the [[caudate nucleus]]{{jargon inline|date=September 2018}} in this biological drive. Fisher concludes that these reactions have a genetic basis, and therefore love is a natural drive as powerful as hunger.

In his book ''What Women Want, What Men Want'',<ref>John Townsend, 1998, "What Women Want, What Men Want" Oxford University Press, United Kingdom {{ISBN|978-0-19-511488-1}}</ref> anthropologist John Townsend takes the genetic basis of love one step further by identifying how the sexes are different in their predispositions. Townsend's compilation of various research projects concludes that men are susceptible to youth and beauty, whereas women are susceptible to status and security. These differences are part of a natural selection process where males seek many healthy women of childbearing age to mother offspring, and women seek men who are willing and able to take care of them and their children.

Psychologist Karen Horney in her article "The Problem of the Monogamous Ideal",<ref>Karen Horney, 1967, "Feminine Psychology," W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., New, York, NY {{ISBN|0-393-31080-9}}</ref> indicates that the overestimation of love leads to disillusionment; the desire to possess the partner results in the partner wanting to escape; and the friction against sex result in non-fulfillment. Disillusionment plus the desire to escape plus non-fulfillment result in a secret hostility, which causes the other partner to feel alienated. Secret hostility in one and secret alienation in the other cause the partners to secretly hate each other. This secret hate often leads one or the other or both to seek love objects outside the marriage or relationship.

Psychologist Harold Bessell in his book ''The Love Test'',<ref>Harold Bessell, 1984 "The Love Test," Warner Books, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10103, {{ISBN|0-446-32582-1}}</ref> reconciles the opposing forces noted by the above researchers and shows that there are two factors that determine the quality of a relationship. Bessell proposes that people are drawn together by a force he calls "romantic attraction", which is a combination of genetic and cultural factors. This force may be weak or strong and may be felt to different degrees by each of the two love partners. The other factor is "emotional maturity", which is the degree to which a person is capable of providing good treatment in a love relationship. It can thus be said that an immature person is more likely to overestimate love, become disillusioned, and have an affair whereas a mature person is more likely to see the relationship in realistic terms and act constructively to work out problems.

Romantic love, in the abstract sense of the term, is traditionally considered to involve a mix of emotional and sexual desire for another as a [[person]]. However, [[Lisa M. Diamond]], a [[University of Utah]] [[psychology]] professor, proposes that sexual desire and romantic love are functionally independent<ref>{{Cite journal

Martie Haselton, a psychologist at [[UCLA]], considers romantic love a "commitment device" or mechanism that encourages two humans to form a lasting bond. She has explored the evolutionary rationale that has shaped modern romantic love and has concluded that long-lasting relationships are helpful to ensure that children reach reproductive age and are fed and cared for by two parents. Haselton and her [[colleagues]] have found evidence in their experiments that suggest love's [[adaptation]]. The first part of the [[experiment]]s consists of having people think about how much they love someone and then suppress thoughts of other attractive people. In the second part of the experiment the same people are asked to think about how much they sexually desire those same partners and then try to suppress thoughts about others. The results showed that love is more efficient in pushing out those rivals than [[sex]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1704665,00.html| title=Romance Is An Illusion|date=2008-01-17|accessdate= 2010-07-08 | work=Time | first=Carl | last=Zimmer}}</ref>

Robert Firestone, a psychologist, has a theory of the fantasy bond, which is what is mostly created after the passionate love has faded.

He theorized that love is a combination of three main components: passion (physical arousal); intimacy (psychological feelings of closeness); and commitment (the sustaining of a relationship). He also theorized that the different combinations of these three components could yield up to seven different forms of love. These include popularized forms such as romantic love (intimacy and passion) and consummate love (passion, intimacy, and commitment). The other forms are liking (intimacy), companionate love (intimacy and commitment), empty love (commitment), fatuous love (passion and commitment), and infatuation (passion).
Studies on Sternberg’s theory love found that intimacy most strongly predicted marital satisfaction in married couples, with passion also being an important predictor (Silberman, 1995<ref>{{cite journal|last=Silberman|first=S.|title=The relationships among love, marital satisfaction and duration of marriage|journal=Doctoral dissertation, Arizona State University|year=1995}}</ref>).

Another topic of controversy in the field of romantic relationships is that of [[domestic abuse]]. Following the theory that romantic love evolved as a byproduct of survival, it can be said that in some instances, it has turned into a [[maladaptation]]. [[Oxytocin]] is a neurophysical hormone produced in the brain. It is known to cause a decrease in stress response. It also can cause an increase in feelings of [[attachment theory|attachment]]. In the beginning stages of a romantic relationship, OT levels surge and then remain relatively stable over the duration of the relationship. The higher the surge of OT, the greater the likelihood is of partners staying together.<ref>Schafer, J., Caetano, R., & Clark, C. L. (1998). Rates of intimate partner violence in the United States. American journal of public health, 88(11), 1702-1704.</ref> It plays an important role in increasing positive interpersonal behaviors such as trust, altruism, empathy, etc.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Kosfeld | first1 = M. | last2 = Heinrichs | first2 = M. | last3 = Zak | first3 = P. J. | last4 = Fischbacher | first4 = U. | last5 = Fehr | first5 = E. | year = 2005 | title = Oxytocin increases trust in humans | url = | journal = Nature | volume = 435 | issue = 7042| pages = 673–676 | doi=10.1038/nature03701 | pmid=15931222}}</ref> This response is not universal and can in fact, cause the opposite to occur depending on environment and individual. Individuals ranked high in [[rejection sensitivity]] exhibited aggressive tendencies and decreased willingness for cooperation, indicating a link between oxytocin and relationship maintenance.<ref>Bartz, J., Simeon, D., Hamilton, H., Kim, S., Crystal, S., Braun, A., ... & Hollander, E. (2010). Oxytocin can hinder trust and cooperation in borderline personality disorder. Social cognitive and affective neuroscience, nsq085.</ref>

The feelings associated with romantic love function to ensure the greater reproductive fitness of individuals. The obligations of individuals in romantic relationships to preserve these bonds are based in [[kin selection]] theory, where by exhibiting aggressive behavior, a mate can use intimidation and [[dominance (ethology)|dominance]] to ward off other potential predators, thus protecting the pair bond and their actual or potential offspring. This has however evolved to the point where it has become detrimental to the fitness of individuals; what is causing attachment to occur in a relationship, is now causing one partner to harm the other.

In the search for the root of intimate partner violence (IPV), intranasal oxytocin was administered to a control group and a group of participants with aggressive tendencies. Participants were then surveyed on how willing they were to engage in 5 behaviors towards their romantic partner. What they found was that oxytocin increased IPV inclinations only among the participants with a predisposition towards aggressive tendencies.<ref>DeWall, C. N., Gillath, O., Pressman, S. D., Black, L. L., Bartz, J. A., Moskovitz, J., & Stetler, D. A. (2014). When the Love Hormone Leads to Violence Oxytocin Increases Intimate Partner Violence Inclinations Among High Trait Aggressive People. Social Psychological and Personality Science, 1948550613516876</ref> Oxytocin decreases trust and prosocial behavior in individuals with interpersonal difficulties. This, coupled with its role in relationship maintenance, illustrates that oxytocin serves to instill a sense of territoriality and protectiveness towards a mate.{{cn|date=February 2019}}

যদিও প্রেমাত্মক ভালোবাসার আবেগ-অনূভূতিগুলো ব্যাপকভাবে যৌন আকর্ষণের সঙ্গে সম্পর্কিত, তবুও শারীরিক সম্ভোগের আশা ব্যতিরেকেও প্রেমানুভূতির অস্তিত্ব থাকতে পারে এবং পরবর্তীকালে তা সেভাবে প্রকাশিতও হতে পারে। ঐতিহাসিকভাবে প্রেম নামক পরিভাষাটি মধ্যযুগের অভিজাত নারীদের প্রতি নাইট সৈনিকদের প্রেমাবেগীয় মতবাদ হতে এসেছে যা মধ্যযুগের শিভালরিক প্রেমের সাহিত্যের মাধ্যমে সৃষ্টি হয়েছে।

সাধারণ সংজ্ঞা

প্রেম হল ভালোবাসার সাথে সম্পর্কিত একটি উত্তেজনাপূর্ণ ও রহস্যময় অনুভূতি। এটি হল কোন ব্যক্তির প্রতি যৌন আকর্ষণের সাথে সম্পর্কিত কোন আবেগীয় আকর্ষণ হতে উদ্বুদ্ধ একটি বহিঃপ্রকাশমূলক ও আনন্দঘন অনুভূতি। গ্রিক চারটি আকর্ষণের মধ্যে এটি আগেপ, ফিলিয়া কিংবা স্টরজ-এর তুলনায় ইরোসের সঙ্গে অধিক সামঞ্জস্যপূর্ণ। মনোবিজ্ঞানী চার্লস লিন্ডহোমের সংজ্ঞানুযায়ী প্রেম হল "একটি প্রবল আকর্ষণ যা কোন যৌন-আবেদনময় দৃষ্টিকোণ হতে কাওকে আদর্শ হিসেবে তুলে ধরে, এবং যাতে তা ভবিষ্যতে দীর্ঘস্থায়ী হওয়ার মনোবাসনাও অন্তর্ভুক্ত থাকে।"[১] কোন সম্পর্কের ক্ষেত্রে এতে অপর ব্যক্তির প্রতি একইসাথে শক্তিশালী মানসিক এবং যৌন আকর্ষণ কাজ করে। প্রেমের সম্পর্কে যৌনতার তুলনায় ব্যক্তিগত আবেগ-অনুভূতি অধিক গুরুত্বের অধিকারী হয়।

অধিকাংশ ক্ষেত্রেই সম্পর্কসমূহের সূচনাপর্বে প্রেমের অনুভূতি অধিকতর দৃঢ়ভাবে কাজ করে। তখন এর সঙ্গে এমন এক অনিশ্চয়তা এবং দুশ্চিন্তা অনুভূত হয়[২] যে এ ভালোবাসা হয়তো আর কখনো ফিরে নাও আসতে পারে।
