It’s an impermanent state that either evolves into a longterm, co-dependent relationship that psychologists call “attachment,” or it dissipates, and the relationship dissolves. If there are physical or social barriers inhibiting partners from seeing one another regularly — for example, if the relationship is long-distance — then the “in love” phase generally lasts longer than it would otherwise.” So if this is not permanent love, then what are the “conditions” of true love?

You recognize and realize that your beloved is not flawless and without complaining and if necessary, you make the needed compromises consciously. 4. Your happiness does not seem complete until you have shared with your beloved. 5. You never get bored of the person. You can talk and chatter and never run out of words, or grow tired listening.
