Live Life Team
We, humans, are a romantic bunch. Perhaps that is why we place so much emphasis on the wedding day. The word, “wed,” comes from an ancient Greek word for “pledge.” In marrying, we are promising to tie one life to another. We are then joining and extending two existing family units. At the same time, we are creating a nuclear family of our own.
We spend a lifetime in some cases looking for our soul mates. Some of us are lucky and succeed. Others keep looking with a few people even long after wedding vows have been said. Is it a look, a voice, or a laugh that gets one wondering if this the one,
Some think it is a chemical reaction. Just as in other scientific pairings, where the combining of two chemicals can either produce an explosive reaction or rarely manage a blip on the excitement scale, humans may be wired the same. Perhaps the body knows we are compatible with someone long before our brains do. Some call this love at first sight. Many people dismiss the idea, but should we, Why should we be the only mammals in the animal kingdom that do not respond to the subliminal stimuli of pheromones or the barely registered widening of an eye’s pupil,
With so many questions and not nearly enough answers, many turn to faith, family, and friends to try and understand what, in many ways, cannot be explained. We seek, we hope, and, in some cases, we wander far and wide for our perfect mate. If we are fortunate to find that special someone, then sharing with them the bond of marriage is the most fulfilling experience for a couple.
