Love and creativity represent a fascinating, mysterious, and paradoxal world and an analogous one as well, from this perspective. The present article shows that many features are common to the essence of love and creativity. The aim of this article is to analyze and pull together the discussion that researchers have had concerning the phenomena of love and creativity. In this article, our purpose is to define the essence of these two concepts and produce an illustration of their interconnectedness through discussing factors that are in common to these two human features. Noticing the connection between these two concepts is important because they both can affect human well-being in a profound manner.
