      Ultimately, love comes from biochemical reactions, biophysical processes, and the complicated machinery of a human being! But just like knowing how a rainbow forms doesn’t diminish my appreciation of its beauty, knowing that love comes from biochemistry doesn’t diminish, in any way, my love of my wife and children!

      Love is a lot like happiness in that it comes down to brain chemistry. But it shapes so much of what we choose to do and how we treat ourselves and others!
