Isn't that what everyone says before they have a divorce?

Love is just a mixture of chemicals flowing around in the brain, it isn't anything spiritual or supernatural, it is what it is and it is nothing more than a chemical reaction in the body. "True Love" is really just "True Ignorance" because most people claiming "true love" only do so after ignoring characteristics of another person in order to allow that person to fit into their fantasy view of a "soul mate".

Over the history of humankind people have fallen in and out of love many times, and there has never been any specific method of attaining everlasting love.

Rather than looking for "true love" people should just look for personal happiness. Nobody should ever be with somebody that doesn't make them happy, part of having a happy life is being honest with yourself and your feelings and understanding when you are sacrificing your happiness for a "true love" fantasy. This is why I say just concentrate on personal happiness, if you are not happy alone then you have something wrong with you and should not be looking for another person to fill that void, because it will not work long term.
