Abstract
The story of Adam and Eve has served for millennia as the canonical model of a longterm love relationship in the Western culture. Its influence on the design and expectations of individuals about lasting love has been tremendous. Inadvertently or not, romantic couples have tried to follow the pattern of the early fathers of the Bible. However, current data on couple breakup tells a massive failure of the model, which it is not well understood and it poses a substantial problem for society and also for the social sciences. A recent mathematical model has unveiled a mechanism that may explain the intrinsic difficulty to sustain a relationship projected to endure. In this note some ideas of the mathematical model and its implications are explored, in particular, to predict the final outcome of the couple in the model of love of Adam and Eve.
