Lower animals are attracted to each other by instinct, but humankind has developed Love and Affection to cement our bonding.  Lust and infatuation may begin a relationship, but only Love and Affection can sustain it.  In them, we enjoy the presence of another person, and are drawn out of isolation.  Yet, somehow, our individuality is enhanced.  Love and Affection between two people are the foundation for the family.
