How much do you love someone?

It’s a question which keeps tottering in almost everyone’s mind. It is a common problem of people in love. It is a confusing state of mind. The degree of love differs from individual to individual. There are people who take love practically and there are some who take it emotionally. So what is the difference between Practical Love and Emotional Love?

People who are practical about their relationships are ones who concentrate on every other thing that they do equally as they concentrate on their relationships. They take their love relationship as any other relationship. There is no question of “How much do you love me” here. Emotional relationship on the other hand is where the partners are always trying to be with each other regardless there is harm to other important work. By this we don’t mean that people must not be emotionally attached. Emotions are necessary for relationships to sustain. But being over emotional is harmful. Practicality on the other hand might take a toll on relationships too.

Practical lovers or people who give more importance to brain than to heart, tend to create distance between them and their better half. But being practical in a relationship has a lot of advantages than being emotionally involved. The first advantage is that you choose your partner carefully if you are a practical person. You do not get carried away by the appearance of your partner. You get emotional with your partner only when you are completely ready for the relationship. However, if you are a workaholic, you will need to take out time too for your partner to understand them better. You need to be emotionally attached to your partner to fall in love but over involvement might lead to lack of space in the relationship.

Emotional love usually turns into possessiveness and hence starts of a rift. Always remember, you need to give space to your partner. It is not necessary that your partner must share everything with you. It is also not right to hide things from your partner, not everything. Never make yourself slave to your emotions. Gone are the days of puppy love and dialogues like i-can’t-live-without-you, I-always-think-of-you, etc. Actually these are lies. No one can possibly think of anyone all the time. And those who can, have nothing else to do in life, hence avoid them. Be more practical than emotional but balance both of them.

Never ask this question to you partner, “How much do you love me?” It sounds meaningless.
