A nine-part series exploring the beauty, depth and complexity of love.

Since ancient times, people have asked: What is love? ... and it remains one of Google’s most popular searches.

Love holds the promise of joy and happiness, even paradise, but is fraught with challenge and pain. We hunger deeply for love. In fact, the brain’s desire for love is as strong as the body’s desire for food.
