There are still many other forms of love, the love of a parent for their children, the love of siblings who care for each other, the love of friends are actually, no bullshit, really friends, rather then frequent acquaintances who put up the visage of friendship, the love we have for our interests in life such as art, music and performing, and many other forms of love. With each and every example of the of form of love, there needs to be a balance, anything in excess in this world is wrong. Too much of an emphasis is placed on love in our society and on being in a perfect relationship that people force marriage and relationships because they see everyone else doing it, because as a society we seem to over emphasize it's worth. So much to the point that people are moving faster then they can think and react to what it is they are really doing. Since so many people do it it becomes an accepted practice.
Just my two cents though.
