Marriage: Romantic Love is NOT Enough | Buddhist Dhamma Talk | Ajahn Dhammasiha
Manage episode 444107320 series 3403187
A couple getting married was interested to get some advice on Buddhist teachings how to make a marriage work, so that it lasts long and both spouses can live in harmony.
Ajahn Dhammasiha cites a study done in Italy with functional MRI brain scans, that claimed to have found that the feeling of romantic love biologically is not designed to last for decades.
In fact, the researchers considered the absolute maximum duration as approximately 4 years or so (though often it is much shorter).
This seems to agree with personal experience of most people.
As marriage is usually supposed to last a whole lifetime, it follows that romantic love lasting max 4 years can not be a sufficient foundation.
Instead, a married couple has to build up other qualities in their relationship, which sound much less 'romantic', but actually do last for a lifetime...
