People often describe love as a feeling, and it's thought of as mostly a psychological but this is not the case. Love is a biological feeling. Chemicals are released in your body when you see your loved one; and this released adrenaline is the love that we all feel.
According to and article on CNN.com, when your in love this is what your really feeling: your brain sends signals to the adrenal gland, which secretes hormones such as adrenaline, epinephrine and norepinephrine. They flow through the blood and cause the heart to beat faster and stronger.
Being in love does have some health benefits. According to the article being married and in love will add up to seven years to a mans life, and up to two years to a womans. It also has a positive impact on stress level. Those who have recently fallen in love are better able to cope with stress.
