ok people...we all know you cant physically survive on love alone...this started as a bit of a flip and fun question but as everyone took it so seriously...heres another thing for you all to ponder...i wondered reflecting upon these answers if its partly life and the way we live it that makes us not able to cope with our relationships and that puts so much pressure upon them...i mean look at the average couple with financial responsibilities,maybe children,school,work pressure and pressure of normal life...compare that to say living deep in the woods or on a mountain, away from everything and your needs and financial pressures being lessened...which relationship is more likely to last ? ...i used to live in very remote countryside but still only 3 miles to the nearest village...but there are places you could just lose yourself...i dont know...but its food for thought...;0)

No. Although LOVE is a great feeling it should not act as the sole source of your existence. If that were the case, there would be no divorces and misery.
People marry and move forward to their next phase in life initiated by LOVE. But then look at the current stats on divorces.
There are too many external factors that will test your true love. Most importantly finances, family and future feelings.
One can always hope for LOVE.

Look lovingly at your beloved and hold your breath.
When you are desperate to breath try taking another even more adoring look at your beloved.
If you find the need to breath is still overpowering then one of two things is true:
a) Either you are not in love;
b) Or you need air more than love.
Most people would go for conclusion (b) but you have to go with what seems right to you.

I used to think so when I was younger, but now that I am older, I question that. Love will take you far, but when you start co-existing with your mate you can still love them but not be where you want to be in a relationship. So to answer your question, you can "survive", but do you want to "just survive" in a relationship or do you want to "thrive"? That my friend is a question we should all ask ourselves in a relationship.

No you need fuel (food and water)for energy to keep you going. For that you need money. Anyway after a while you become to familiar to each other and need other distractions to let the relationship develop. Remember 'Familiarity breeds contempt'

away from all the every day distractions of modern life ... most if not all relationships would probably last longer...
But as for getting lost in the woods... I'd have to really trust that youwould send a search party looking 4 me ... therefore ... I think we would argue less. ;-))

No or I'd be home with my husband right now instead of sitting at this stupid desk at work screwing around on Answers.
