Byzantinischer Ehering, 7. Jahrhundert
|
Wenn ihr aus zwei eins macht, wenn ihr das Innere wie das Äußere macht, das Äußere wie das Innere und das Obere wie das Untere macht, und wenn ihr das Männliche und das Weibliche vereinigt, so dass der Mann nicht Mann und die Frau nicht Frau bleibt; wenn ihr mit neuen Augen seht, mit neuen Händen handelt, mit neuen Füßen geht und ein neues Bild aus euch macht – dann werdet ihr in das Reich Gottes eintreten.

Der Einfluss der Frau |
|
Das Unternehmen Priority Management Pittsburgh Inc. hat in einer Three-Times-Study im Jahr 1988 ermittelt, dass ein US-amerikanisches Ehepaar täglich nur vier Minuten für das gemeinsame Gespräch aufbringt.
Das Ergebnis einer repräsentativen Umfrage in der Bundesrepublik1 lautete:
Frauen, gesellschaftlich benachteiligter, belasteter und ehrlicher, sind in Beziehungsfragen skeptischer als Männer. |
In Ehen oder verpflichteten Beziehungen kommen die ungelösten im Gehirn eingebrannten Verhaltensmuster der beteiligten Partner erneut zum Vorschein.
Suchtverhalten ist die Folge der Unfähigkeit, echt zu lieben, wirklich vertraut und verbunden zu sein.
Die schwierigen Stationen der Paargeschichte sind:
Der Paartherapeut Hans Jellouschek unterscheidet fünf Entwicklungsphasen einer Paarbeziehung:
In bestimmten Phasen können Paare steckenbleiben. Dreiecksbeziehungen sind ein probates Mittel, um durch eine Zäsur aus einem Stau in der Paarbeziehung herauszukommen.
In enger werdenden Kreisen auf dem Weg zur echten Liebe werden die Phasen mehrfach durchlaufen.

Die US-amerikanische Neuroanthropologin und Hirnforscherin Dr. Helen Fisher und ihre Kollegen bestätigen drei ganz starke Kreisläufe/Antriebe, die sich im Gehirn von Tieren und Menschen herausgebildet haben. Sie können den Einzelnen dazu bringen, sowohl selbstaufopfernd zu handeln (für den Partner sterben) als auch – bei Zurückweisung – den anderen zu töten.

Ich will zu dir gehören
und du zu mir.
Versprochen
in den guten Zeiten –
versprochen, immer und immer.
In den schlechten Zeiten –
Gerade in den schlechten Zeiten,
wenn so viele Versprechen brechen,
wenn so viele Worte im Wortbruch enden
und unsere Liebe sich im Widerspruch auflöst.
Gerade in den schlechten Zeiten
brauchen wir einen,
dessen Gedanken wahrhaftig sind
und dessen Worte nicht brechen;
einen Gott,
der unsere Liebe neu aussät,
behütet und beschützt,
damit sie wächst und gedeiht
und reift.

Bonding Preferences / Tendencies of the four Love Types |
Dr. Helen Fisher reviewed personality data from 39,913 members of Chemistry.com.
The ratio and bonding tendencies are as follows in general and this [specific] first survey:
| Type Personalities | Traits Description | Behavior largely shaped by Brain chemicals | Longs for a | Bonds preferably with (Couples) | Best match with | Worst match with |
| The Explorer John F. Kennedy, Princess Diana, Angelina Jolie Michelle Obama Barack Obama | Highly curious, creative, energetic, spontaneous, adventurous, risk-taking, novelty-seeking, creative, expansive, adaptable, crave adventure, many interests (hiking, spelunking to theater, reading) | Brain chemical Dopamine (associated with curiosity and spontaneity) is the key player of the experience of pleasure and novelty. | Playmate | Other Explorers Barack and Michelle Obama | The Builder | The Director |
| The Builder George Washington, Colin Powell, Tiger Woods, Jennifer Aniston, Queen Elizabeth, Gordon Brown II. | Calm, social, popular, managerial (good at managing people), networking, building family and community, religious, typically conventional, honorable, dutyful, loyal; cautious without being afraid. Drawn to schedules and rules, detail oriented, thorough, conscientious, dependable | The defining neurochemical is Serotonin (associated with sociability and feelings of calm) modulates moods like aggression, anger, and calm. | Helpmate | Other Builders Gordon and Sarah Brown | The Explorer | The Director |
| The Director Type A personality Albert Einstein, Donald Trump, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Nicolas Sarkozy | Analytical, logical, straightforward, assertive, decisive, aggressive, single-minded, tough minded, focused, inventive, daring, direct, original, inventive, focused, good at rule-based and spatial skills like mechanics, math, and music, tends to be ambitious and competitive, emotionally contained, aloof; willl rush into a burning building to save a stranger | Testosterone (found in both genders) is especially active – associated with independence and rational thinking | Mind mate Motto: "One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head, too." Nietzsche. | Negotiators Hillary (Dir) and Bill Clinton (Neg) Tom Cruise (Dir) and Katie Holmes (Neg) | The Negotiator | The Builder |

Dating Advices for the four Love Types |
The Greek philosopher Plato was the first one to notice and describe the four basic personality types. Helen Fisher is the last one of many researcher:
| Types | Effective Body chemical | Advices for Types | Dating Advices |
| Explorers Artisan temperament | Dopamine /Norepinephrine Exciting | Impulsive as you are, you can get romantically involved too fast. Go slowly. Hating confrontation, you risk bolting from a relationship that could prove fantastic. If you find someone you are genuinely interested in, focus your energy on him or her. | Be prepared to live this romance one day at a time. Remain flexible. Know that for your partner, "dullness is a misdemeanor." Ethel Wilson |
| Builders Guardian temperament | Serotonin Calming | Your taste for plans and schedules may not get in the way of trying new things on a date (unless you meet another Builder). Modest and in favor of socializing with the gang, take time to be alone with your romantic interest. Your tendency to be protective will be appreciated. Don't appear controlling. | Builders are the most likely to seek a lifelong partner. They like to be concrete and to revel in the details. They're attracted to orderly and calm people, who carry out plans on schedule. |
| Directors Rational temperament | Testosterone Pointed | You like to be in control and tend to date with determination. Be patient and let things unfold naturally. That will help to avoid scaring off possible romance. Share your feelings. While you may regard expressing your emotions as a weakness, the other person may read your restraint as a sign that you are cold, secretive, or uninterested. | Directors will respond best if you are logical, accurate, and clear. Don't criticize yourself. To win your partner, pursue topics of substance rather than small talk. |
| Negotiators Idealist temperament | Estrogen / Oxytocin Inclusive | Watch out for your inclination to act diplomatic. You may appear spineless. Avoid drowning your date in a verbal deluge. Don't overthink endlessly a new relationship going over the pros and cons. It's important for you to settle for a deeply meaningful, authentic relationship. | Negotiators aren't always direct, so read between their lines. Do not compete with them. Talk about yourself as negotiators love hearing about what you're thinking and feeling. They will fall for you if you stimulate their imagination. |

Neuroanthropologist and brain researcher Dr. Helen Fisher, Ph.D. and her colleagues confirm three very strong circuits/drives which have evolved in the brain of animals and humans. They may lead one to act self sacrificial (dying for the other) as well as to killing oneself, or the other when rejected.

Successful Couple Model

A tired and aspiring psychiatrist [Marlon Brando] is one day away from retirement. After 3-4 decades of marriage he engages in a conversation with his still beautiful wife [Faye Dunaway]: He: "I need to find out who you are. I need to know all about you."
She (wondering): "You want to know?"
He: "I want to know what your hopes and dreams are, that got lost along the way while I was thinking about myself."
She is laughing sheepishly.
He: "What's so funny?"
In astonishment she responds, "I thought you'd never ask!" Movie Don Juan DeMarco, part 10 of 11, minute 4:58-6:23, YouTube film, 8:47 minutes duration |

Researchers of the St. Andrews University in Scotland, studied the lifespan of thousands of married couples of varied ages between 1991-2006.

Professor Paul Boyle, chief executive of the Economic and Social Research Council, leader of the study, concluded:
Japanese cardiologists discovered the ‘broken heart syndrome’ also named as Takotsubo stress cardiomyopathy.
An emotional upset – i.e. the loss of a loved one by death or divorce – results in the dysfunction in the ventricular chamber and heart failure. A temporarily weakened heart muscle results in its literal break.
Bereavement or sadness releases such toxic levels of stress hormones, particularly adrenalin, that the heart literally breaks.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, USA) found that widowed women with none of the external predisposing factors of heart disease (smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and a high-fat diet) developed the broken heart syndrome followed by a purely psychological heart failure.

Sexual arousal, fear, appetite, desire, and falling in love happens in the limbic system, the second oldest brain circuit humans share with animals.
The brain surgeon Dr. Leonard Shlain † predicted that the human species will pass another massive sudden phase change (transformation) around the turn of the millennium. The result will be that men and human are then able to use both hemispheres of the brain.
Das Gehirn eines heterosexuellen Mannes unterscheidet sich im allgemeinen deutlich von einem weiblichen Gehirn.
95% des Sprachvermögens eines heterosexuellen Mannes spielt sich in der linken Gehirnhälfte ab (der so genannten männlichen Seite), während nur 5% der Sprachfähigkeit eines heterosexuellen Mannes auf der rechten Gehirnhälfte (der so genannten weiblichen Seite) stattfinden.
Für diesen Mann hat ein Schlaganfall auf der linken Gehirnhälfte fatale Folgend, da er infolgedessen praktisch sprechunfähig wird.
Bei Frauen, männlichen und weiblichen Homosexuellen, Linkshändern und Gedächtniskünstlern verteilt sich die Sprachfähigkeit im Gehirn ausgewogener. Ihr größeres Corpus Callosum ermöglicht ihnen, ihre Emotionen (die in der rechten Hemisphäre angesiedelt sind und zumeist in der linken Hemisphäre ausgedrückt werden), verständlicher und ausdrucksvoller zu kommunizieren.
