The human race is a naturally monogamous race, which means that we ordinarily choose one partner for life. There are several species that do this including Swans, Beavers and Prarrie Voles and even Penguins will choose one partner and mate with them only for life!
Why do we fall in love, is it related with genetics?
When we choose a partner it is for many reasons, and you may feel it's that you have something in common with this person, they fit your life-style and you have the same sense of humour - All of which are important. However, it is likely that something deeper is happening, as your body is genetically driven to reproduce (even if you feel certain that you don't want children) these are the decisions your will subconsciously make depending on the persons DNA (some scientists say that you pick someone with different immunities to you to make sure that any offspring you might have would have a good mix of immunity to illnesses. If you are of too similar genetic make-up, your children could be left susceptible to infections. So that is the 'scientific explanation'. The chemical feelings when you meet someone that drives you to want to mate with them, should be simply down to the survival of the human race.
That's the scientific explanation to why we fall in Love, the draw to another person to make sure we perform the mating ritual.

Other beliefs
Some people believe that we all have a soul, that is separate from our physical self, these people tend to believe in meeting their soul mate, and certainly, when you find the right person and fall in love it can feel like they know you like no one else and speak right to your soul. Some people even believe that they have lived before and have met their current partner in a previous life and are destined to be together.
Whatever your beliefs are about the reasons for falling in love, there is no denying that it is one of the most amazing feelings you will ever experience, and no matter what our biological drivers are behind it, it is a feeling like no other!
