Quote:

"Romantic love is an addiction," said study author Helen E. Fisher, a biological anthropologist at Rutgers University who studies love. "It’s a very powerfully wonderful addiction when things are going well and a perfectly horrible addiction when things are going poorly," she said.


This is the passage that concerns me... it doesn't say "love and lust".. it says romantic love.. ie marriage

Is marriage an addiction? I say no, but this says YES...

SOrry, but the distinctions I want to see just aren't in the passage.. its not what it says here, its what's missing that worries me...

And I still dont' accept a healhty activity as an addiction.. to my mind an addiction necessarily involves something that destroys healthy lifestyles and trades them for something that does damage instead
