Another fact is that there seems to be a lot of sexual activities at the early stage of any relationship compared to some years after. During this period, there is an excess release of dopamine, a substance that will make you be more interested in your partner. However, when love is built on things that are beyond physical things, then you see couples getting more interested in one another even year after year.
