How long does love last according to science?

À propos de cet épisode

We’ve talked about love and relationships in a number of previous episodes of Do You Really Know. You may remember we’ve discussed the secrets to a long-lasting relationship, and the triangular theory of love for example. But despite lovey dovey representations of romance in films, a lot of people say that love doesn’t last forever. Some people say it’s limited to three years max for example. So what does science have to say on the matter then? Why wouldn’t love be the same three months and three years into a relationship then? Does genetics have any role to play?
