22.The world’s longest marriage lasted for 86 years
If someone ever tries to convince you that there’s no such thing as true love, ask them to do a quick Google search for Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher. That’ll shut them up.
According to Guinness World Records, in February 2011 they became the couple with the longest marriage ever – 86 years and 290 days, to be more exact. What was their secret to such a long-lasting union?
As the couple explained at some point, “there’s no secret to our marriage—we just did what was needed for each other and our family.”
23.Love can also be found online
If you’ve been searching for love in all the right places but haven’t found it yet, don’t despair. You can try dating sites.
They are quite popular, convenient and offer extensive access to hundreds of profiles.
To convince you that online dating is quite efficient, a 2020 survey conducted by Pew Research revealed that 12 percent of Americans found their life partner on a dating site such as Match.com or OKCupid.
However, as convenient and easy online dating may be, there are some things you should refrain from doing. Find out more here:18 Online Dating Habits You Need to Get Rid of By Age 40.
24.Love and lust affect different areas of the brain
If you’re dreaming of turning a one-night stand into a long-lasting love story, don’t get your hopes up. At least, that’s what researchers recommend.
That’s because according to various studies, a one-night stand is based on pure lust while a long-term relationship is generally based on love.
Love and lust trigger different parts of the brain, with love being associated with empathy and selflessness and lust with motivation and reward.
