Don't "They" say it's better to be practical vs. passionate about love? What are your opinions on that?

I get why a lot of us feel this way. But... well, I don't like that it gives so much power over how we feel to "them"!

And I think "They" are full of crap. There's room for some practical, but if you go about love in a practical way, I think you end up forgetting why you are even there anyway.

Doing a bit of mindreading here, but I think that's how my xw approached things, and I hated it.

For some insight into how it can be different, read "Passionate Marriage". Not an easy read (I haven't read it cover to cover, word for word), but it shows that there is another way.

Anyway, my bottom line is that I don't believe you can love too much, but you can forget that you need to love yourself.
