The big three love secrets are quite simple:
1. Maintain positive illusions
2. Be loyal and forgiving each day
3. Re-ignite that oxytocin
Dr. Scott Haltzman says that natural highs “can produce excitatory neurochemicals that the brain interprets as excitement about your partner, not the activity.” He tells us that:
- Making love –sex produces a natural high that can boost oxytocin levels.
- Doing something out of your normal routine, such as, going to an amusement park or walking in the rain. And if you are walking in the rain, skip puddles or see who can jump into a puddle and make the biggest splash.
- Going to a new restaurant and order a dish that is completely unlike anything else you have ever ordered.
These activities will trigger the bonding effect. These and many other thoughts are in his latest book: The Secrets of Happy Families: Eight Keys to Building a Lifetime of Connection and Contentment
