6 Ways Love Affects the Brain

Less stress

Love that lasts is always linked to lower levels of stress. You can easily have your mood improved by positive feelings caused by oxytocin and dopamine release in your brain. There’s research dating all the way back to 2010, which suggests that single people might have higher levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, than those who are committed to relationships.

After all, what’s the beauty of sharing your life with somebody if you can’t vent about it and if you can’t trust someone to have your back when you need it most? It’s completely understandable to go through things in life easier when you’re loved by someone.

Jealousy

Sometimes, people say that jealousy is bad, but in reality, it’s nothing but a natural emotion that might help you pay more attention to your needs and feelings. In other words, the kind of jealousy that is purely sparked by love might suggest you desire a stronger commitment to your partner and don’t want to lose them.

Jealousy might have a positive impact on your relationship because it promotes bonding and attachment. When you notice jealous feelings, the first thing that you need to remind yourself is that they’re completely normal. Don’t be afraid to share them with your loved one instead of making all kinds of passive-aggressive moves and remarks about their behavior.
