Answer to Question 1

Love relationships can last many years. As time goes by, love and relationships grow and change, and trying to maintain a sense of stability and continuity while still allowing for change and growth is probably the single greatest challenge of long- term love relationships.

Attaining intimacy is different from loving. We can love our cat, our favorite musician, or a great leader, but intimacy requires reciprocityit takes two. Intimacy is a dance of two souls, each of whom must reveal a little, risk a little, and try a lot. In some ways, therefore, true intimacy is more difficult to achieve than true love because the emotion of love may be effortless, whereas the establishment of intimacy always requires effort.

Answer to Question 2

Research on pheromones and sexual orientation has found that homosexual men and heterosexual men respond differently to odors that are involved in sexual attraction, with homosexual men responding in similar ways as heterosexual women (Savic et al., 2005).
