They have also been happily married for nearly four decades. Love may well be one of the most studied, but least understood, behaviors. More than 20 years ago, the biological anthropologist Helen Fisher studied societies and found evidence of romantic love—the kind that leaves one breathless and euphoric—in of them. In , Fisher led a research team that published a groundbreaking study that included the first functional MRI fMRI images of the brains of individuals in the throes of romantic love. Her team analyzed 2, brain scans of college students who viewed pictures of someone special to them and compared the scans to ones taken when the students looked at pictures of acquaintances. Two of the brain regions that showed activity in the fMRI scans were the caudate nucleus, a region associated with reward detection and expectation and the integration of sensory experiences into social behavior, and the ventral tegmental area, which is associated with pleasure, focused attention, and the motivation to pursue and acquire rewards. This circuit is considered to be a primitive neural network, meaning it is evolutionarily old; it links with the nucleus accumbens.

But it is luck of the draw. I didn't hear from him all day, is that normal. But his absence in the spiritual side of my life, and that of my mother, was very hard. My husband is finishing up residency and is never around. Somehow I never believed any of that; I wanted a career and a small family and never believed religion was a way to identify good character. You are brave and good people and seem to be raising wonderful children who will be lights for everyone with whom they come in contact. My experience with non members has been so much more meaningful and caring.
It would be foolish to acquiesce a Mormon girl to drink coffee. I am a something male. I would NOT want my daughter or son to marry a doctor. Cold approaches on Mormon girls are challenging. Of course, your parents will care most.
