In Episode 119, I do a timely episode as Valentine's Day is upon us. I discuss the studies and theories that scientists have in regard to why we gravitate toward particular people for romantic relationships and what characteristics are associated with long-term happy relationships. Certain factors I discuss include our genetics, social history, physical affection, affect labelling, emotional intelligence, and more. Tune in for all the scientific details!
