What the corpus says
The throughline across every conversation that touches this idea.
Shannon Curry highlights that initial romantic love mimics a drug high, driven by chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, but isn't sustainable long-term.

Curry notes that only 35% of married individuals report being happy, with satisfaction linked to traits like conscientiousness and emotional stability.
Infidelity's impact varies; some relationships tolerate it without collapse, depending on communication and understanding.
