35 Beautiful Facts About Love That You Never Knew Of (2 of 7)

Compassion requires practice and improves your mental connection with your partner

Your capability to understand people’s behavior and choices are largely affected by how fulfilling your own life is. Career and life aspirations that remain unmet tempt you to always find fault with others. That diminishes your ability to look at an issue from a different perspective. On the other hand, if you’re satisfied in your personal, as well as professional life, you no longer wish to force your opinion on others. The same also contributes to lesser altercations and more mature discussions.

Animals too commit to a single partner

Yep. That’s true. Humans are not the only species that believe and live for love, commitment, marriage, and happily ever after. Many other members of the animal kingdom such as beavers, barn owls, sea horses, and otters too opt for monogamous relationships.

Cuddling has health benefits too

You do not long to be cuddled just for physical pleasure. It serves more purposes than that.

Mere a few minutes of cuddling brings your stress and anxiety level down to zero. The oxytocin that is released in the body is crucial to keep us in a mentally healthy state. Since our physical well-being is dependent on our mental health, a fit mind is the building block to a fit body.

It soothes chronic pain

It may be hard to explain how, but those who have true love by their side would attest to this.

We believe it’s the calming effect of that person’s presence that makes it easier to bear any pain without feeling it much. At the same time, having someone to hold our hand and support us during such tough times solves half of the problem.

It’s addictive

It’s for this very reason that you wait for their call or text at the same time each day and are upset when you don’t receive it. Your day feels incomplete unless you have heard from them. Similar to that, spending quality time with this special one takes you in a completely different zone mentally. All your worries leave your head and you’re elated beyond measure.
