Is falling in love a natural instinct humans have?

Or is it something we're conditioned into experiencing when certain factors meet?

The feeling that you get from the chemicals is natural to most 'healthy' people but the dynamics of a modern relationship are conditioned.

@MushroomFaerie Weren't they always conditioned? The dynamics of relations.
@SW-User conditioned based on where when who you were born to, yes. All human packs would have had different dynamics but the monogamis life long partnership expectation many people have is not realistic. Humans before civilisation had more than one partner within their group. Alpha males had more than one woman (those women were all good with each other and would have worked together but if a new woman came along they would have given her a hard time) the betas pretty much had no women and based to tracing back dnas woman also had more than one partner (they were all from the pack, everybody would have known everybody else) relationships ended and new ones began. Marriage was actually created by men to ensure that all men had at least one woman.
