Is love an intrinsic property that goes hand in hand with procreation, that makes you stay with your partner?
So on an evolutionary standpoint the offspring has more chance of survival with two parents foraging and protecting than one parent?
Is the explaination for love this utilitarian, this evoultionary/biological and this simple?
For example, I love my son more than anyone else on this planet including my current wife and girlfriends and all my previous wives and girlfriends.
I love my parents.
I love my sister much more than either of my brothers, who I also love (but only just a little...)
I also love sushi.
Yes, you can have love without sex or procreation.
Yes, you can have sex without love.
Yes, you can procreate without love.
Yes, you can procreate without sex (artificially).
Neither quality is necessitous and just because you don't love someone or procreate doesn't mean that you can't have great sex.
But are you asking a physiological, a physical, a moral, or an emotional question?

99% of the time, love is fear.
Two lonely spirits wait
With wreaths of withered flowers
'Fore paradise's gate.
They may not pass the portal
Poor earth-enkindled pair,
Though sad is many a spirit
To pass and leave them there
Still staring at their flowers,
That dull and faded are.
If one should rise beside thee,
The other is not far.
Go ask the youngest angel,
She will say with bated breath,
By the door of Mary's garden
Are the spirits Love and Death.

Thank you for completely ruining my day with this thread title. It will now take approximately three weeks to remove that damned song from my head.

You know, I'm bitchy. Yes, we should talk more. I need more girlfriends.
And you?
By the way, well done for keeping the word association thread going. Your contributions are both hilarious and highly intelligent, which is a difficult trick to pull off. Long may it continue!
