Attachment science is developmental psychology, not couples therapy. I’m not sure what exactly you’re objecting to (the “real love stories” phrase is extraordinarily tenuous), but the “wired by millions of years of evolution” part is pretty well substantiated.
The author has perhaps unfortunately led you to fill in the blanks about what “this kind of connection” means, but the attachment science part has nothing to do with monogamy or sexual norms.
- mlthoughts2018 7y ago> “but the “wired by millions of years of evolution” part is pretty well substantiated.” Can you point to the studies on this? I’m extremely skeptical. I’m sure lots of research papers have been published, much like in evolutionary game theory, while the reality is none of the generalized comments of million-year evolutionary processes has actually been backed up. Most often these claims aren’t even falsifiable.
