My dog waggs his tail when he is

happy....so I decided to get a machine to wagg his tail all the time. That should make him happy all the

time.....LOL

"The Italian researchers, publishing their study in the journal

Psychoneuroendocrinology, said it was not clear how falling in love triggers higher levels of NGF, but the molecule

clearly has an important role in the "social chemistry" between people at the start of a relationship."

Helen

Fisher's hypothesis is that the social chemistry of love (a maturational sequence) lasts longer: approximately four

years, which is about the time required to raise a child who might then survive on its own (though difficult in

today's society). Still, this would be the more expected time frame for adaptation to pheromones to occur, which

would limit their effectiveness in stimulating a partner. Her recent imaging studies--findings to be published next

year--will shed light on this topic.

Meanwhile, if you've been in the same relationship for more than four

years, congratulations--you may have beaten the biological program. You might also want to try some

pheromone-enhancement, so that you continue to rise above the odds of relationship failure. With a 50% divorce

rate--even the relationships that result in marriage carry with them some significant gloom and doom.

As a

wise man (probably me) once said: "...every relationship ends badly--otherwise it wouldn't end."

Keep your relationship alive with pheromones!
