Toufexis defines "Love" as a neuro-chemical process that really began when human beings started to walk on two legs and began to grasp (and see) the whole human and not just the reproductive potentialities of their partners (Toufexis, 205-06). She also, with the help of scholars, defines the "4-year itch" as being - just as one might think - the length of time that primitive pairs would remain romantically interested in one another before deciding they wanted to move on. Further, the "7-year itch" is the "itch" for moving on that stands apart from the 4-year itch simply because having a child will keep the relationship intact for an additional three years than it would otherwise endure (Toufexis, 207). At the same time, the article falters because Toufexis makes no effort to define some of the more technical chemical compounds that allegedly make us fall madly in love with those with whom we come into contact.
