The Chemistry of Love

From all the different emotions in our intellectual arsenal, love is not unlike a bomb. It can disrupt everyday cycles of life and make everything else seem insignificant. It can change our outlook of life. We know what love does to us, but why? Why does it bring 2 unique individuals together? I believe that love is a chemical reaction. Love is the desire to carry on the human race and spend a lifetime with another human being. To  me, love can be explained in chemical imbalances and formulas. Oxytocin and serotonin are some of that main chemicals. Serotonin is also associated with obsessive compulsive disorder, explaining why the person in love can thing of nothing else but the person he/she loves. Oxytocin is considered as the chemical that keeps a couple together and is the long term chemical of love. This is what love is to me.
