As a scholar of love in its mist vigorous psychoanalytical and psychosomatic latitude I think Chidi is only concerned with the ' normative sense of love. Even before engaging in specialised psychoanalytic sense of love in graduate studies I can recall sitting my longest literature mentor B.M. Ibitokun down to over an hour discourse of love after an undergraduate course involving Lady Chatterly's lover. I was saying things to him that aporoximate Chidis non specialised take on love here.

Chidi, I don't see why you exclude love between two men or two women... Especially as you exclude sex from your definition of the relationship. Consider Socrates or Plato in their writings. Ken

The greatest need of a man in a relationship is not respect as opined in some quarters. Respect can be gotten from any quarters, just like sex and food.
Methinks that the greatest is love. The kind of love a man gets from his partner(female, of course. I do not subscribe to homosexuality and do not also believe that love can only be found in conventional marriage) cannot be gotten from anywhere else.
Love for me is however, not a "blind", "unconditional" concept.
It is real, conditional (to the availability of other variables) and with its two eyes wide open.
The opposite is infatuation.
CAO.
