Describe companionate love, the Second myth of love.

Module 27 (and page 301 specifically) busts two major myths of love. The first is addressed here: “…it is actually men who tend to fall in love more readily…Men also seem to fall out of love more slowly and are less likely than women to break up a premarital romance.” Whoa! See this link for more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-terri-orbuch/are-men-more-romantic-tha_b_796099.htmlFor your 1st option, please address why you think our society stereotypes women as the gender more interested in romance (exhibit A: the letter to Dr. Brothers on page 300 of your text; exhibit B: romantic comedy movies are called “chick flicks”), when there is compelling evidence that men, not women, are the more romantic gender. The second myth is busted here: “The high of romance may be sustained for a few months, even a couple of years. But no high lasts forever…The novelty, the intense absorption in the other, the tingly thrill of the romance, the giddy “floating on a cloud” feeling fades…If a close relationship is to endure, it WILL (emphasis mine) settle to a steadier but still warm afterglow called companionate love.” For your second discussion board option, what is your reaction to this excerpt?
