Is Love a Choice or Just Chemistry?

[Urvashi]

Some argue love is an emotional decision, while others believe it’s just biological attraction and hormones. If love is purely chemistry, does that undermine the idea of commitment? Do you think people can consciously choose who they love?

 

[Niyi Briggs]

Love is definitely a choice. The one we call chemistry is just infatuation. I always tell people that love is beyond that tingling feeling. It is a decision to be committed to a person. Basing love on that chemistry won't ever be solid.

The romantic notion of love as a choice suggests that individuals have choice in selecting their partners, nurturing relationships, and sustaining affection over time.​
