Evolution and Love

Hey,
I was wondering how the theory of evolution accounts for love, a
feeling commonly found in all mammalian species.

For example, evolutionary psychologists believe that males are
constantly looking for new mates while females try to keep their mates
for protection. While this, to some extent may be true, it doesn't
account for the feelings of love and monogamy. Take, for instance,
prairie voles, 80% of whom remain widows all their life after their
mate dies.

PS - No I am not a creationist/ID trying to look for evidence against
the theory of evolution, I'm just curious of if and how the theory
accounts for certain phenomenons.

Thank you
