Says Seth Meyers, a clinical psychologist (and not the Saturday Night Live comedian): Er, seriously? So you’re supposed to go for people with whom you feel no spark? While many people testify to the power of falling in love long after they were married, I’ve also known people who tried that and had it fail miserably. One woman I know married her “best friend” after a long, tumultuous relationship ended. “Look what passion got me,” she told me she thought. “Nowhere.” So she decided to try a marriage based on friendship. But after their first child was born, she said she could barely stomach the idea of touching this man sexually again. They eventually divorced. Also, Meyers doesn’t say what his proof is that a “spark” is generated by the idea that you’re “afraid” you can’t “get” this person to be with you. No one knows what generates sexual chemistry between two people. I’ve even read (in Helen Fisher’s illuminating book Why We Love) that chemistry could be an instantaneous instinct that kicks in when we’ve met a mate whose DNA would match up with our DNA to produce the healthiest offspring. After all, back in the caveman days, there wasn’t a lot of long-term dating. People only lived until like 12, you know? I do agree that a “spark” can’t be your only reason for being with someone. But I do think it has to be there. How much drudgery would it be to be with someone who doesn’t make your heart flutter occasionally? Besides, my great-grandmother and great-grandfather said they fell in love at first sight. Neither had good relationship role models. And they were happily married for 70 years. It happens!
