What is the role of love in relationship satisfaction?
Before critically discussing the role of love in relationship satisfaction, it is firstly important to establish what love is. Zeki et al., 2012 stated that when someone is in love, multiple parts in the brain “light up” even though a large section of the brain becomes deactivated. He found that those in love have lower activity in their frontal cortex compared to those who are not in love. Deactivation in the frontal cortex means they have lesser ability to reason and make judgement as they are the roles of the frontal cortex, however due to the decreased ability to form judgments and reason can impact one’s relationship and cloud judgement which may cause relationship dissatisfaction.
