How does your brain fall out of love?

According to Franssen, this causes your brain to rewire and no longer see your partner as a pathway to happiness. But when love no longer stimulates the reward centers of the brain by releasing dopamine and causing pleasure, the brain begins to rewire itself. It then stops seeing your partner as a pathway to happiness.
