Love has been shown to be beneficial for heart health

Scientists have found that kissing and hugging can support heart health.
The authors of a new scientific paper analyzed several studies on affection and found that affection was consistently linked to better health, especially cardiovascular health.
The scientists also found that showing affection appears to be more beneficial than receiving attention.
As the authors noted, it's hard to say why displays of affection benefit cardiovascular health. It could be stress. Gentle communication with loved ones helps the body better cope with stress.
