Abstract

The human behavior is a combination of several feelings. There are two cases whether a person likes other individual or not. The liking of an individual leads to love and finally happiness. The feelings of love may be in different forms but here considered to be partners' love. There are three aspects of love for the partner: forgetting process (oblivion), the pleasure of being loved (return), and the reaction to the appeal of the partner (instinct). Along with that the appeals and the personalities of the two individuals do not vary in time. This model proves that if the geometric mean reactive-ness to love is smaller than the geometric mean forgetting coefficient and the system is asymptotically stable if the ratio of appeals is greater than the reciprocal of ratio of mutual intensiveness coefficient.
