New Scientist BIG IDEA section, May 2012.
With break-up and divorce a major part of modern life, it looks like we may be outliving our inborn capacity to love. But there could be a way to outwit evolution and make love last.

Opening paragraphs:
"What better way to get myself in the mood to write an essay on love, I figured, than to listen to some of my favourite love songs? The smooth and sensual vocals of Cody Chestnutt’s ‘No One Will’ seem to be doing the trick right now. However, my wish here is not to write of romantic love (at least not exclusively), but of love in a political and ethical, though I would hope no less erotic, sense.
I begin by posing the question of love in relation to the under-examined concept of community. Beyond the ‘community of two’ that is the romantic couple or pair of friends are communities of interest, political persuasion, class, gender, culture, nation, and so on. Implicit in each kind of self-identified community are particular values concerning who it is admissible to associate with, to become friends with, to love.
‘Some of them might be nice people’, conceded the xenophobe to her more immigrant-friendly colleague one evening on my television screen, ‘but it’s not as if I’m going to become friends with them. That’s not how the world works’.
It is scarcely questioned that we should so often be drawn to people in whom we find something of ourselves. Communities have become a veritable extension of the self. Love, meanwhile, becomes reduced to the love of Same."
