We're not exactly sure who's counting but scientists believe that people will encounter love seven times before they marry.

We wear engagement rings on the fourth finger of the left hand because the Greeks referred to that finger as the "vein of love," running directly to the heart.

Why We Love National Love People Day
We're in love with love
Love make us feel good. Scientists even associate the release of the chemical dopamine when we experience either pleasure or that phenomenon called "love at first sight." It's also why we feel happy when we do something nice for someone else. Love is that powerful characteristic that keeps us doing for others whether or not we get anything in return.
True love is unselfish
For ages, romantic writers have reflected on the idea of "selfish love." But that's a misnomer. Real love is unconditional, meaning without limitations or restrictions. National Love People Day opens up a framework for discussion about why love is important without regard to color, ethnicity, religious or national backgrounds. Love is open and caring, the polar opposite of selfishness.
Real love is within
When the founders of the Lifeline Church came up with the idea for National Love People Day, it was to honor how love starts with the self and then spreads outward to others. We love ourselves when we eat healthy foods, develop good habits, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. By showing ourselves love, we then open up the dialogue to include love of other people.
