Chapman begins by outlining these two loves, as they apply to a marriage:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic love\u003c\/i\u003e, which is akin to obsession, is an irrational, temporary, powerful, quasi-biological state that lasts roughly two years, full of madness and elation and a (possibly superficial) complete absorption of the self into another. This contrasts to \u003ci\u003eemotional love\u003c\/i\u003e, which is complicated, disciplined, rational, intentional, and ultimately enduring. People fall into patterns, and as polemical as Chapman's thinking and explanations can sound, his advice is earnest and clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Start Publishing Notes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018796810480,"sku":"9781682996751","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781682996751_p0.jpg?v=1763698487","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781682996751","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
