Getting married in this economy is no walk in the park, it is often being said. Everything is expensive and, in order to see things turn out the way one wants them, one has to get started at least one year ahead.

It’s no longer a secret that researchers have been busily working on finding the “recipe” for love and, at the same time, for a happy marriage.

They say routine can be worse than love because one grows so accustomed to living with someone else that it becomes impossible to part ways, no matter how badly things are going between them.

Researchers have long been trying to come up with a “recipe” for true love, one that would guarantee that a marriage lasts a lifetime.

Since love has always been, and will perhaps continue to be relative to each individual, scientists have a really tough job to narrow the concept down to a universal “recipe.” The same goes for attractiveness, which is equally hard to pin down in theory.
