True love can indeed last a lifetime: Study

Brain scans show love and passion still burning brightly after 20 years
LONDON: - Cynical about love?

Scientists have discovered that people can have a love that lasts a lifetime.

Brain scans have proven that a small number of couples can respond with as much passion after 20 years as most people exhibit only in the first flush of love, Britain's Sunday Times newspaper has reported.

The findings overturn the conventional view that love and sexual desire peak at the start of a relationship and then decline as the years pass.
