My wife and I have been married all my life, yet I still snuggle up to her over on her side of the bed......That's where all the cover is!

I guess Wesley and Buttercup are hosed, then.

Just what I was thinking. I'd love to be able to buy stock in that company today . . .

"Yep. I imagine that if that there NGF stuff had lasted longer I'd probably be somewheres else now."

Exactly.

My wife of 15 years is now my best friend. And it is that friendship -- not the fuzzy warm heeby-jeebees -- that has sustained us through the tough times.

I guess I'm just stuck on "stuck-on".

Hmmm. I wonder if the test subjects "fall out of love" first, which is followed by the subsequent drop in NGF? In addition to a market for an NGF stimulant, I foresee a market for a blood test that measures NGF levels.

Total misidentification.


The dopamine/serotonin response is classical for infatuation not love.

Back when song writer had some sense it was called puppy love.

Infatuation is intense but it hardly love, true or otherwise.

"Then how come my wife and I have been married 15 years, yet someone we met just last month couldn't believe it? She said from the way we were talking and holding hands at dinner, she assumed we were newlyweds."

I was just wondering the same thing about me and my hubby...18 years and we're still diggin' each other.

I will celebrate my 16th anniversary Friday and we are as happy as ever.I think the key is that we are best friends and truly enjoy each other's companionship. The fact that he still makes me laugh every day doesn't hurt, either! It's all about friendship, shared values/goals and respect.

Two points: (1) The study subjects were Italian.

(2) It takes about a year for a woman to put on 50 pounds.
