First off, you really can't put a value on love.
The love between a parent and child or husband and wife is rather unique, in that it's difficult to put into words. You can read poetry which discusses love between 2 people, but they usually are referring to new love (see Shakespear.....he was excellent at that one). Rarely will you find anything that goes into the depths that parent/child or spousal love reaches. Primarily, poetry discusses infatuation in all it's glory.
Deep, or complete, love is all encompassing. Even when you think you hate the other party, you still feel a guilt if you say it aloud. That guilt is from the knowledge that you are crying over something rather petty (well, it usually is), and you know that you could be hurting the other party with it. I think that's key........not wanting to hurt the other person, since it reflects on your own soul.
Without real love, a partnership like marriage could not last long. You can be roommates, friends, or otherwise, but the element is always there that you can walk away. You can't from love.....to do so would be like removing a part of your very being. Your sense of self would be altered.
Now, I don't know if that answers your question, but I tried. Just remember...........2 cannot be one if love does not exist.

The definition for love between them remains the same. Their responsibilites remain the same either. It's just that due to the fast track life, they are not able to cope up with it and need to compromise on their emotional values.
Right now, I am away from my wife bacause I have to, not because I love her less. I had to sacrifice the time I should have been spending with her cos my profession has put me into such situation. If I ignore this profession, I may be able to spend time with her, but that would impact my economy. So finally, we decide to compromise.
All the best...

Well, if ever my Indian princess and I get married, that will be the true meaning of love in a relationship. I would do whatever I could to make her laugh, and be comfortable. Yet, for some ham and egger that gets married without love, That's that losers problem, not mine. I would marry a woman because I love her and want to be with her!!!!!

My husband is my best friend, my support staff, and my partner in life. I truly have my emotional and other needs met by him. We support our life together by sharing chores, sharing child rearing, and everything else we can. It is a great feeling to know that someone is there for you always and will love you for the rest of your life. We are more equals than our parents were - he even does the dishes, but still can't change the toliet paper roll.

Well for me it's more like a deep and close friendship. Prior to getting married I we were best friends for years, roomates for a couple of years. When marriage finally came, nothing changed in our relationship. It was already to that point and not really anything new. So I think without tradition to keep us together, or bring us together and values having any impact on our decisions, ultimately it is a friendship kind of bond that is the glue to my marriage in particular.

Love is all about wanting to be with that one person more than anything else. It encompasses caring, respect, trust, and responsibility. Without these 4 components love is impossible in the world today.

does it have to be husband and wife what about boyfriend and girlfriend who have been together longer than any husband and wife they know?
My true value of love for my boyfriend is fun, trust and respect.
I don't need him for money,
I don't need him for his handyman ability
but I do want him.
I like to laugh with him and I like to wake up next to him and pet his hair.
We don't share money, we don't fight or argue, he does his thing, I do mine and we...well we meet in the middle. Life is good.
5 years and going strong........it only feels like 2

It would be impossible for me to explain how much I treasure being married to a man that I love for almost 7 years now. We show absolutely no signs of falling apart anytime soon- its priceless.
