Do you love your partner/lover because you need him/her?? Or Do you need your partner/lover because you love him/her?? In the relationship, which do you think is better?? Is it "I LOVE YOU BECAUSE I NEED YOU"?? Or is it "I NEED YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU"?? Is it "need" must always present in the relationship?? Can love be exist in the relationship without needing that person in your life??
You are all welcome to share your thoughts/opinions/ideas in my discussion... Happy posting...

Hi kissie! That's always been ask to me and I don't know if I always gave a right answer.
For me not all those who are in a relationship also feels that they need thier partners but I think need is really important as love is. And yes love can exist even when there is no love. That is when you just want the person and not needing him/her BUt I would rather prefer to be needed not wanted. Cause need is more permanent than want.

I agree with you that it si more permanent of the word need than want.. Yes, your right.. In some cases, in a relationship or even in marriage it still works even there is no love because sometimes money is more important to them than love.. Thanks for sharing..

I think if you love a person anything goes.The thing "i love you because i need you" and the other one "i need you because i love you" doesn't really matter.What more important is you accept the person for whom and what he or she is and everthing will go well. the assurance will always be there as long as you are faithful.
the assurance will always be there as long as you are faithful.

I see that you've watched the Piolo Claudine film with that famous dialogue 
I think it's really better that you need someone because you love that person because that is how true love should be. Needing someone is very different from loving someone 
I think that love is actually a higher form of need because there you only don't satisfy your own needs but you care too for the needs of your partner

hahaha.. Nope, I asked this question not because of that movie.. It just came into my mind..
I agree with your statement that "love is a higher form of need".. I also believe that it is better needing that person because you love him/her than loving him because you just need him/her..
