Questions about the nature of love — what sparks it, why it fails, why it sometimes lasts a lifetime — are so timeless, and the opinions around these questions so varied, that they can seem unanswerable.
But there is a science of love, as well as sex and romance, that has something to say about these longstanding questions.
Garcia offers this: The need for intimacy, even more than sex, is the drive that actually dictates human happiness.
The problem comes when our hardwiring for social monogamy crosses paths with the desire for sexual novelty.
Justin Garcia explains how to reconcile these two impulses.
