It seems very hard to distinguish between love and lust. More often, there is the tendency for people to consider the attachment as lust. It may be noted though when a person falls in love, the body automatically starts producing chemicals. This is also the case with your brain and these act as natural aphrodisiac and are painkillers. This probably explains why most couples spend most of their initial time between the sheets.
The psychology of love is not as complex as it is made out to be. It is just about getting the right connection with your partner. A little practicality on your part can definitely ensure that you enjoy a healthy relationship with your partner.
You can make the cupid work in your favour by trying out something new in the kitchen. This has nothing to do with either of your cooking capabilities. You two can have a glass of wine and work on your love psychology by trying to make a gourmet meal together.
Every relationship has its share of conflicts which if handled properly certainly gives a boost to relationship. Conflict gives the chance to express your opinion as well listen to the facts which are on the other side of the book. However, inability to handle conflict can create havoc and definitely ruin your relationship. Thus, you should always try to resolve such issues before things go out of hand.
In a situation of conflict you should always try to give your partner full attention without really thinking who is at fault. You should patiently listen to your partner and verbally assure him/her that you recognize and can relate to his/her feelings. You should wait for the pain or anger to subside and listen to your partner attentively and try to create closeness and trust. By doing this, the pain and anger will surely go away without becoming a cause of resentment later.

It’s true that marriages are made in heaven but celebrated on earth, but celebrating it either in the form of a love marriage or an arranged marriage is by chance. The young generation is nowadays more inclined towards love marriage than the arranged marriage with a stranger. Read on to know about the pros and cons of love marriage.

It is true that falling in love is always the most precious experience for all, but this experience turns sour when your partner becomes jealous. Considered as one of the most serious threats to a love relationship, jealousy if not treated well can ruin the whole relationship. So, it is better to know ways of dealing with a jealous partner.
When you feel your partner is getting jealous, first of all, try to identify the cause of his or her jealousy. Remember, for different people different situations may result in jealousy. Therefore, understanding the real cause of jealousy is essential in order to deal with it to save the relationship.
Insecurity, possessiveness and inadequacy are the three main causes that may make your partner jealous. In many cases, the partner simply starts feeling insecure because he or she feels you are devoting less time towards him or her. Sometimes the partner starts feeling that he or she doesn’t deserve to be with you in a relationship. While, in majority of partners feel jealous due to possessiveness and feel that their partner is seeing someone else.
Thus, to deal with a jealous partner, try to figure out the above-mentioned causes. Then, when the cause is clear, try to be honest to yourself and your partner and tell them the reality and assure them that there is no need to be jealous, when you are with them.
Not many of us believe in love at first sight, but those who have fallen a prey to it do know what it means and how it casts a magical spell around them. For those who fell in love at first sight it was like meeting someone’s eyes and telling yourself he or she is the person meant for you.
There are many factors that propel one to fall in love at first sight. You may call it fast logic or imagination or even intuition when you fall in love at the very first sight without even knowing a person properly. The main factors that often lead to love at first sight are like gestures, voice, hair, smile, smell and appearance.
Looking towards the negative side of falling in love at first sight, the most prominent one to be seen is misunderstanding. Often those who fall in love at first sight take things for granted and neglect that their partner might have a different interest all together. Such problems are high when we fall in love at first sight with a totally unknown person.
So, next time you feel you have fallen in love at first sight, try not just to fall in love with the person’s physical look and attributes but also the person’s nature and other qualities.
Have you even realized that often your best friend has all the qualities that you have been looking for in your partner? Sometimes being friends with the member of opposite sex, you tend to take a step ahead from friendship to love. This is where, you try to ask yourself the pros and cons of moving from friendship to love.
Moving a step ahead from friendship to love, you need to first induce a sense of affinity. In other words, you need to realize whether you really want your friend as a romantic partner or just as a friend. To do so, you should communicate openly and look out for positive signs. Also, look whether your friend is really interested in you romantically. Try to be slow while moving from friendship to love.
Remember, the process of turning friendship into love may vary for a man and for a woman. Men are not so emotional as women and might agree in haste, but women like to analyze carefully before taking a step ahead.
A person in your neighbourhood, or in office or at your school or even at university makes you feel that you can not live without him/her. Then this question comes in mind that is this love or mere infatuation. Through my experiences I am bringing forward some symptoms that may help you determine whether you are really struck by cupid or you are yourself trying to fly with the love angels.
Look out for these symptoms:
If these are present in you, then its just Infatuation. Besides these symptoms, you will face difficulty in concentration. An intense desire to be with them physically and establish sexual contact will hover on you. This is biological, a woman’s attraction to a man, and vice-versa. But this ain’t love.
Love raises people. The entire thought process of lovers undergoes a change. It reminds me of one of the poem by Great Poet John Donne
“Call us what you will, we are made such by love;
all her one, me another fly,
We are tapers too, and at our own cost die,”
Therefore, lovers like Romeo and Juliet are ready to die for each other. They do not give a damn to what people say. Love also makes one acknowledge the sense of care, understanding and trust. Lovers think of each other’s welfare. They try to find out what is good or bad for each other. Love can occur even at first sight. We will discuss about this Love at First sight some other time.
