Answer:-Love Questions You Need To Ask

What was your first impression of your partner?

What did you like or love about your partner?

How did the relationship start?

Do you still like what you loved about your partner and why?

Are you happy with the intimacy you share?

Over time, cognition becomes relatively more important than emotion, and close relationships are more likely to be based on companionate love, defined as love that is based on friendship, mutual attraction, common interests, mutual respect, and concern for each other's welfare.

High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction. These chemicals make us giddy, energetic, and euphoric, even leading to decreased appetite and insomnia – which means you actually can be so “in love” that you can't eat and can't sleep. However, you will be surprised how many students still make mistakes for such a question. The standard answer always goes: “As the [changed variable] increases/decreases, the [measured variable] increases/ decreases” and it's usually a simple matter of identifying what the changed/measured variable is.
