All love is from God, and therefore, by that extension, divine in nature. Also, you are assuming that these chemicals are the CAUSE of the feelings, and not that the feelings are the cause of the chemicals.
Oxytocin is a neuro-transmitter, and not the main cause of sexual desire. It is released after sexual climax, true, but only because we are feeling close to these people, hence its release. It is also used by the body in many other cases, even in the case of bonding with other people, and in the formation of trust.
Vasopressin on the other hand, while similar to oxytocin, has only come to be of interest lately in social behaviour. It is still unknown the extent of its role regarding social situations. Also vasopressin is thought to make one more violent, hardly a characteristic that a mother usually displays towards her newborn.

A mother's love for her child are divine and heavenly. THe baby is a product of you and a significant other. There is nothing more beautiful than bearing a child into the world. Even after the hormones level out, you feel this way.

I certainly cannot attest to the validity of science, hormones, divinity, or what other mothers claim, but I do know that a mother's love usually comes naturally and her feelings of protection for the child are built upon months of carrying the child, 24 hours a day, and knowing she is pregnant, caring for and nurturing a life inside her, until the day her and the child meet face-to face. Wouldn't you love the object that you nurtured for such a long while, constantly, and to whom you provided the utmost attention of yourself, knowing that EVERYTHING you do affects this child's welfare, future, development, and outcome? All mothers have a bond in that they birthed the human body of a soul created by God, to fulfill the purpose only HE had in mind. As the Virgin Mary proclaimed, it is "Magnificant", that she, among women, shall be chosen, to be the mother of the Lord Christ.

Innocence that springs from lack of information, or a self-concentrated viewpoint, isn't heavenly for adults. The innocence this is heavenly is the single that springs from understanding and journey of the international. (With apologies to Wm. Blake ;) for the plagiarism.) Love of others is divine. yet a good number of very undesirable stuff receives stated as love that's no longer: while this is love of a few thing worldly like money or ability or drugs, then this is not love and this is the alternative of divine.

The love a mother has for her child is anything but sexual! The hormones that make them bond may be the same ones that bond her to her mate, but that doesn't mean her love is sexual for her child.

I would defiantly say divine. How could you not love a new born child in any other way. They were born innocent with no sins and plenty of angel looking after them as well as their parents. Proper guidance and lots of love they will stay that way until they are old enough to make their own choices.
