Lovers’ Lyrics Revealed

Should you say “I love you” every day?
Does absence really make the heart grow fonder?
Is the way to a man’s heart, really through his stomach?
Do you find yourself cringing or embracing love’s longtime sayings?
Real Simple magazine rallied its experts and took a good hard look at love’s favorite sayings…and they didn’t always agree!

Here’s a preview of how the experts analyzed, “there is such a thing as love at first sight”:

  • Ellen Wachtel, couples therapist: False. Often it takes time for love to develop. For some people, physical chemistry plays such a big role at the outset that it is mistaken for love.

  • Pepper Schwartz, sociologist: It's a romantic story when it works out, but you don't hear about the relationships that end badly. Relationships start slow and build; they aren't necessarily wonderful from the start.


Check out the rest of the experts thoughts on the traditional tried and true thoughts on love and see how your thoughts compare with the experts!
You may even stumble upon expert tips on the best way to bring some of the classic sayings to your relationship.
