We all fall in love but do not know why we love. Do you agree with me on this? People just love because they have feelings or because they see others doing it beautifully and feel left behind. Some try to intimidate people– what I mean is to make people feel jealous of them. Few people love genuinely while others are just copying and have never had time to work on themselves before the relationship. Then when you start a relationship, it is imagined to be beautiful, without fights, and lived like other good relationships. This brings me to the question: why do you love? Do you know why you loved your partner? Do you love your partner as you claim and are those reasons for loving your partner significant?

Reasons Why We Love

Establishing the reasons why you love is necessary, don’t just go loving blindly. There are so many reasons why we love, everyone's reasons differ, and loving someone is not just beautiful but astonishing.

Love is a beautiful feeling but not all reasons are standard reasons to love.

Your reasons as to why you love can help determine the strength of your relationship. Below, are a few reasons that I listed as to why we love:

He’s A Big Family Guy

Most times, you get to have family friends coming now and then to the house. Along the line, you begin to have feelings for this person, because he or she often visits and is always welcoming. You see them often and you think you know all about them. This could be the reason you love them. But that is not enough.

He or She Makes You Laugh

Sometimes, we feel safe around our friends. Maybe because they are cheerful and can joke a lot. They keep you happy and make you laugh, then boom feelings set in. Is it enough to love this way? No, it isn’t. They might not have presented themselves to you fully or should I say they could be pretending to be who they are not.

Good Listener

You could fall in love with your friend or partner because they listen attentively to you. They are always there for you– when you cry, when you need help, and also when you call on them. This can make you start developing some feelings for them. Have you asked yourself, how about if you were together every day? Would there be any understanding of any sort?

He or She has a Beautiful or Cute smile

Wow, it’s funny what triggers our emotions. Some fall in love with just a smile, maybe the way the lips are or how they smile. Has it happened to you? It happened to me. It was because I had dark lips and a beautiful smile. A beautiful smile could capture the heart of your admirer or partner, it makes their heart skip and gives them butterflies.

The Feeling You Get When You Are With Them

Some fall in Love just because of how they feel around their friend. It could be that they always feel safe, loved, or cared for. It could also mean how free you are around them, how relaxed you are when with them, and that giddy kind of feeling. There could be feelings of butterflies in your stomach and you decide to let it flow. Then the feelings keep growing.

He's Got Money

This is one key factor in a relationship. When your friend is wealthy, you are naturally drawn to loving them because of their wealth. Everyone wants a good life without much stress or suffering and wishes to have well-to-do partners but don't forget—rainy days will come, and it is normal to undergo such trials. Be very careful falling in love because of money because when the money is gone, what happens?

Great Looks

When I talk about looks here, I meant physical attributes; like beauty, shape, and size. Many fall in love with how curvy, handsome, beautiful, or sexy their friend or partner looks. It matters too because you can't go out with someone you don't like, which is normal but all this will change in the future. Guide yourself carefully and choose wisely, especially now that not all that we see is natural.

There are so many reasons why we love and this love makes you feel good on the inside. It makes you trust the person you are with and live comfortably around them. Above are just a few silly and interesting reasons why some of us fall in love with our friend or partner. Can you also share why you love your partner with me? Tell me also if you want me to write about my relationship or life. I want to get to connect with my audience, please.

According to Hani Henry, chair and associate professor of psychology in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Egyptology at AUC, Robert Sternberg’s psychological theory covers the most common reasons why we fall in love, namely: intimacy, passion, and commitment.

Passion—Love also means knowing you have someone to count on no matter what happens passion is a very strong feeling of love. The strong feeling that you get can drive you crazy into falling in love with your friend. Especially if you find yourself in any of the reasons I listed above or in other ways.

Intimacy– Intimacy simply means having a close personal relationship with someone. The need to have an intimate relationship with your friend or partner makes you fall in love with them. Sometimes it could be sexually oriented, special, or one leading to marriage.

Commitment–Commitment is the willingness to work hard and give your energy and time to someone or something. When you fall in love, you find yourself working so hard to be committed to that relationship. It strengthens your relationship and builds trust, understanding, and respect.

There are a thousand reasons why we love every day, sometimes just for benefits, other times to catch fun and a few are real love that defines the future. In all this, try to know why you fell in love. This could help determine the time, energy, and strength you put into your relationship. It could also prevent future regrets and insecurity. Like I said, I want to connect with everyone, let's share.
