FACT: There is electro-chemical reactions that create the emotional feelings that man has labeled "love".

FACT: Somebody in a lab has mapped a brainwave pattern to be common among people who are claiming to be "in love."

Additional FACT: That brainwave pattern has nothing to do with why I am still married to my wife after 20 years, and more in love than I was 20 years ago.

Additional FACT: People knew what love was long before any squiggles ever appeared on a scope that monitored brainwaves. The brainwave monitor doesn't create the love, nor do the waves.

Both may be evidence of an emotion, but neither is the cause.

But you need to open the eyes of your spirit to know this. If you trap yourself in your materialist box you will never know it. Blind men can't know color. Deaf men can't know sound. The spritually dead can't know love.

But they can amuse themselves by reading brainwave monitors and claiming they know FACTs.

Shlaom.

Of course not, you have convinced yourself of this love, and thus given proven scientific and psychological factors, people can be come more emotionally attached to another over time.

Man attributed the term "love" to which he could not explain, just as ancients worshipped the sun and the moon because they did not know what they were. No one ever said that a monitor created love, it only explains it.

But you need to open the eyes of your spirit to know this. If you trap yourself in your materialist box you will never know it.

Im not sure if anyone here understands this "materialistic box" term that you are using.
