There's magic to love... Millions of years ago we evolved three basic drives: the sex love, romantic love, and attachment to a long-term partner. These circuits are deeply embedded in the human brian. They're going to survive as long as our species survive on what Shakespeare called, this "mortal coil."

We still have community, but we don't seem to have local community. Even in a small town where you know your neighbors and your mother's down the street, they're not in arm's length.

Touch is the mother of the senses. Not only are women more sensitive when they touch, but they're also more sensitive to being touched.

I can't conceive of caring more about my president than my own partner.

We all have restlessness in long-term relationships.

We're not very dangerous animals; we don't have a horn like a rhino or quills like a porcupine.

For so many generations, a woman's only career path was to marry well and to marry up. Those days have changed.
