Often infatuation is mistaken for love when people rush into it and this could cause damage. By giving into a live-in relationship, one not only loses ones morals but also does not seem to love the person unconditionally. This is because one leaves the option of leaving each other so easily that they mostly get into doing it. This surface display of being romantic is not required. Often true love can be expressed in so much depth just by words than by gifts.
Spontaneous unselfishness is the essence of love.
Love in marriage requires a mature approach. It is a fine balance between giving and receiving. Real love demands that we put our needs in second place and respond first to our mate's - not endlessly, not unilaterally, but often. In marriage your spouse is a part of you and in order to be happy, you must make your spouse happy too. Your activities may be different from your spouse.
