Is love just a chemical that has evolved over time that allows humans to better bond with each other. In this crazy world a group is better than one. Are the chemicals in the mind just really advanced defenses for the cells that are in the human body. What is the difference between thought and feeling............................Do chemicals in the mind cause feeling, and electrical impulses cause thought. We experience love within the confines of the human mind, but guess we have a vague concept of what a creator being or energy would conceive of love being.
I have no idea but this is what Wiki has to say about it.
There is evidence in a variety of species that the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin are involved in the bonding process, and in other forms of prosocial and reproductive behavior. Both chemicals facilitate pair bonding and maternal behavior in experiments on laboratory animals. In humans, there is evidence that oxytocin and vasopressin are released during labor and breastfeeding, and that these events are associated with maternal bonding. According to one model, social isolation leads to stress, which is associated with activity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the release of cortisol. Positive social interaction is associated with increased oxytocin. This leads to bonding, which is also associated with higher levels of oxytocin and vasopressin, and reduced stress and stress-related hormones.[15]
It's the effect that matters, not the processes brought into play that caused it. Love is still love, and it transcends the chemical and electrical processes that determine how we feel it.
Being human is really about transcending mere biological processes. We feel we are more than the sum of our parts because when all the millions of little things happening in our bodies add up, we actually become something transcendent, i.e. a sentient and intelligent being.

Funny: I tried your lines late one night on a cute girl in a pub in northern Canada many years ago. She still wouldn't come back to my wall tent, and I even had buffalo robes to lay on!

I really love this post. My mind has also traveled down the same path. It is possible (in my mind) that there may be a bridge between the physical and the non physical. If love is the result of a chemical reaction (or thought being chemical) the reaction may be physical but the result may not be.
A chemical reaction needs "stuff" but is a thought composed of "stuff"?
Is love composed of "stuff".
And can a finite mind understand an infinite universe?
Do things exist in thought first? If it does "non stuff" becomes "stuff".
Yes, because feelings of love triggers our pleasure sensors. Love is what make males stick with the females after the dirty deed. I would imagine if there was no love, the males would hit it, then quit it
No, because love is something that is cannot really be explained--only experienced. Love brings a couple much more than just the safety net of being together, but also something sacred and secretive that allows two souls to harmonize into one
