According to most of researchers and anthropologists, a person falling in love at first sight experiences some chemical changes at brain’s level, the so-called "cocktail of love", consisting of : higher level of dopamine, norepinephrine and vasopressin, plus lower level of serotonin.
The increased level of the first three chemicals is responsible for producing that intense level of excitement, energy, craving, addiction and loss of appetit, symptoms usually associated with the state of being passionately in love. The lower level of serotonin explains the obsessive preoccupation of lovers with each other in the first stage of love at first sight.
Unfortunately, the action of the chemicals responsible for the love feelings does not last for the whole life , after two -three -four years their activity decreases considerably and the persons involved in relationship are not feeling anymore the same passion as they have felt at the beginning . This is a critical stage in such ’love at first sight "relationships and if the bond is not strong enough to get over the difficult period, usually the relation ends at this level .
That explains why there are so many married couples who divorce only after three-four years of living together
