Is the willingness to spend for the partner proportional to love?
368538
Nope, but when you love a person, you can't help but spend.  Like when it's his/her bday, somehow, you will be spending unless you decided to give him/her a homemade gift which still will cost you something.  Some people just shower their loved one with gifts, some show it via other ways.  Either way, what matters is the intention behind the act.

It's a well entwined balance of both: a couple need money of course to survive....and if they're in love w/ each other....then I think they've pretty much solved the question you posed.

You are operating on the assumption that love and money are separate entities with a set and binding value, which is not the case.\n\nMoney can buy you loyalty, though. And loyalty leads to trust. And, with feelings of trust, it is very easy to love someone.\n\nPassion keeps us alive. Passion is a by-product of love. So, in effect, you can survive on love, emotinally.\n\nProstitutes survive on selling the illusion of love, so if customers' believe they are loved, the prostitute makes a living from love.

Someone can buy you the most expensive gift, but treats you bad. Can you love them? Expensive things lose their value, their luster, their shine..Love is from the heart, not the wallet. You can't put a price on love. Listen to The Beatles.

maybe yes maybe no depending on how much love there is to be had

no. even if you think that the person with you now is the one you really love, you need to save some for yourself :)

i agree with that, because nothing is more rewarding then love that is shared between 2 people. ever since i have found my boyfriend i have never been happier, or richer.

It depends on the length of the relationship, if its a first date then they might decide to go dutch, if its a longer relationship then they pay according to their agreement, they might pool their money. If they are living together then it's just like any couple .  Things like that come natural as you grow together. The rules aren't different in a gay/lesbian relationship.  Paying becomes part of you as a couple. No need to decide who will pay .  I have found that being comfortable with someone requires no monetary agreement on a date.

I'm not sure that love always leans one way or the other. Peoples perception of love varies to where in their heart and soul they feel they are on equal ground. I do, how ever, think that one persons commitment to a relationship could be stronger which may be viewed as showing more love than the other and will probably be the one who suffers the most if the relationship does end.

i think its worth it !\nyou cant feel it at the moment. actually you will have to give it to the person you love the most and care u the most, itsnot worth it for somebody who wants to have fun with u or who wants to take advantages with u !\nhope thats help !

I used to think that it was one way or the other. But after considerable experience I think the passion is the product of the desire of the two people. If you are in love (which to me implies that you are best of friends) and you nurture that love and work to be that couple, the energy that you've invested resurfaces as passion.  I think that the reward for investing your self in the couple this way is intense passion, and though it is scary to give of yourself in this way, it is the only way to achieve real passion, ie that isn't sourced in lust or infatuation.  If all you have is lust and infatuation, you'll notice the passion going away when the infatuation period wears off.

It's both.  Any really intimate relationship shared with another tends to be complex.  Some of the  compromises/things you do for love are very easy and fun.  But, the issues/problems that can arise can become very difficult.  The trick is to choose a person who is just as commited to your needs/pleasures/dreams as you are to theirs.  Also choose a person who is willing to work thru the hard times.  Relationships are seldom 50/50.....but the balance should be close.

I would offer it to my partner for free.  Why would I talk money from the one I love for doing something to make them happy.

the answer depends for every couple

doesn't take that much actually. if two people established enough trust, respect, love, and open communication there are chances of a thriving relationship. Although misunderstanding and arguements are inevitable, patience and a little less pride are also ingredients of a good love life. If talking about reality, money is also a factor, let's face fact.
