... There is a lot of material in the internet about the phenomenon, apparently most marriages will go through this stage, and how a couple views committment and their vows and life in general will determine how they will get through this stage.
Once through this stage, real, not necessarily romantic love comes into play. That is what we should all be hoping for.
...
However, I have yet to come across a controlled study with showing that passionate love could be revived. That would actually hard to do as there are no objective endpoints to measure.... and against what will you do statistical analyses?
Hi Angel, thanks for the reply!
Yeah, the lack of objectivity makes studies challenging. That's why psycology is a "soft" science. But subjective data, is better than no data.
I guess I may have to resort to picking a particular book or program

and that's the important thing I think.
