We want to present how love starts and develops.
How it connects people and how it can survive many years.
How the lovers see love in different moments of their lives.
We found out answers to the following questions:
● How long have the couples been together?
● What is love according to each couple?
● What different phases of love can we find in the relationships and why?

What is love?
Love is phenylethylamine – PEA.It's produced in hypothalamus.
Generally the process of love takes place in 3 stages.

The 3 stages of loveIn the Helen Fisher's speech she distinguished
the three stages of love, called:
● Enchantment/Lust
● Attraction
● Attachment
![Page 5: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Enchantment
At the beginning our brain collects information about our partner. At the speed of 432 km/h the signals reach the brain. At this stage of love we have such hormones as:
• Testosterone – a male hormone• Oestrogen – a female hormone.
They are responsible for feeling
of lust.
![Page 6: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
TestosteroneIn men it's produced by testicles. In women a little amount of testosterone is secreted by ovaries and cortex of the adrenal gland and during pregnancy – by placenta. It's responsible for male characteristics of an organism like:
specific body hair male musculature of the body and a specific
body build (narrower hips, wider shoulders etc.) male voice Adam’s apple

OestrogenIn men it regulates certain functions of the reproductive system, particularly the maturation of sperm, as well as it affects the libido. It’s secreted by testicles and cortex of the adrenal gland. In women it's produced by ovaries. It's responsible for the development of secondary and thirdly sexual characteristics like:
• breasts
• specific hair body
• specific body fat spacing (wide hips etc.)
• appropriately proportions of body

Attraction
When people get to know each other they are delighted. They can’t stop thinking about the person. People in love see the world through the rose-coloured spectacles. They can't see any defects of the other person. They want to spend every free moment together.
![Page 9: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
AttractionIn this stage we have few hormones and symptoms:
Symptoms:Symptoms: loss of appetite mood swings

Adrenaline
A hormone that:● causes sweating● quickens functioning of the heart● influences on the liver to free potassium
and increase its levels in blood● causes mydriasis● triggers contraction of all blood vessels● makes you blush when seeing
the beloved person

Dopamine – a molecule of happiness
This hormone causes:● burst of energy● tendency to experience everything more
intensely● lessened need of sleep or food● focused attention● fear

Serotonine
Causes:● irritation● lack of concentration● sleeplessness● obsessive thoughts and depressive states● increased sensitivity to pain
![Page 13: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AttachmentWhen two people are involved in a relationship, they fall in love which grows every day more and more. People become emotionally attached to each other. Obviously, every relationships gets through some crisis. When they occur, their love can survive or end.
In the third phase of love we have mainly two hormones active:
● Oxytocin● Vasopressin
![Page 14: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Oxytocin
It is also called a sensitivity hormone. It is produced in the brain.
This hormone is responsible for:• activation the human feelings of trust• relieving stress and pain• provocation hysterospasms during the childbirth• stimulation the maternal instinct at mothers• is released during exchanging kisses
![Page 15: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Vasopressin
This hormone develops feelings of attachment to the partner and fatherhood in men. It is excreted by the posterior pituitary gland. Supposedly, a low level of vasopressin in a man leads to a more emotional attachment to a partner.
![Page 16: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In our presentation, we would like to present you all these stages of love.
![Page 17: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What do lovers say about love?
All couples say that love is the most important thing in their lives. It can be seen every single day. It's some kind of confidence, sincerity, mutual understanding and support. Partners are glad of each other’s successes. Building love is everyday work. Love involves planning common future.

In their opinion love is some kind of emotion, state, when we give
somebody our confidence, sincerity and we have a feeling, that
we could do anything for that person.

Danuta and Pawel Majchrzak
![Page 23: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Danuta and Pawel got married in
1990. Now they live in Częstochowa. They have got 2
children.
![Page 24: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This year Danuta and Paweł will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, which is called in Poland a silver wedding. They met at the university. It seems they are opposites that attract. Paweł likes trekking in the mountains and canoeing. Danuta likes spending her free time at home and taking care of her family.

How did they meet?Their first meeting was when
Paweł saved Danuta from an oppression.Why?
A few days before, during exam time at university Danuta lost
her student record book.
She couldn’t find it anywhere.
Fortunately, Paweł saved his damsel in distress and found
it.
Danuta wanted to express her gratitude to Paweł so she invited him out. Since that
time they have been together.

Which hormons play their role at this stage?
At this stage there predominate such hormones as vasopressin, oxytocin and adrenaline. The intensity of passion falls. We are dealing with the interdependence
of partners. Spouses feel strong commitment to each other. Apart from
love, what connects them is responsibility for the other person and the whole family.

Janina and Piotr Strzalko
![Page 29: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Piotr and Janina Strzałko got married in 1964.
They have been together for 50 years. In
2014 they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. On this occasion the Polish president presented
them with a congratulatory letter
and medals of honour.

How did they meet?
Mr and Mrs Strzałko met thanks to Janina's cousin. One day Janina and her cousin went to a concert. There she met him. It was love at the first sight. The only obstacle were kilometres. Piotr Strzałko
lived in a small village located in the north of Poland, wheras Janina lived 400
kilometers away.
![Page 32: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
However, they knew they would be together. The
power of their love was as strong as the
number of kilometres which divided them. Their
feeling grew up very fast so they decided to be
together and share everything. A few months
later they got married and moved to
Częstochowa.
![Page 33: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Which hormons play their role at this stage?
After 50 years of being together hormones which dominatine are vasopressin and oxytocin. Sexual passion might have disappeared entirely. The brain doesn't react in the same way as 50 years ago.
![Page 34: Brain in love. We want to present how love starts and develops. How it connects people and how it can survive many years. How the lovers see love in different.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf881a28abf838c898d7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Our emotions are different at the three stages. At the first stage a couple wants to live their lives to the fullest. At the second
one they start to slow down with adventures but they get to know each
other better. In the last phase the couples often reminisce the years spent together.
