I suspect your students might like or hate this, depending upon their current romantic state.

Interesting article. In my Social Psychology classes I have students read a similar article, originally published in National Geographic in 2006. It was titled "Love--the chemical reaction", but can be found online titled "True Love" at http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2006/02/true-love/slater-text
It compares love not only to addiction but to OCD. It also goes a step further and talks about how we build up a tolerance to our partner but gain a deeper attachment due to oxytocin. Great read.
