Anything in excess is not good. If you take excess sweets, food, drinks or anything for that matter will harm your health and mind.
But will this hold good when you shower your spouse/lover with too much of love?
Love needs no boundaries.
Just wondering whether it does good to the couple?

If you really love your spouse/lover, what is wrong in showering your love on them? Besides how does your spouse/lover know that how much you love them. So, my dear friend, if you really love your spouse/lover, feel free to exhibit your love, if at all you have any so that let them know about the derth of your love

Hi, Vathsala, nice to note you are an ardent lover of your husband, so you are showering excess love on him? good.
I am not an expert in love, so just learning from experts like you dear friend.
You could have just said spouse and no need for /lover. If you put that I will have to search for one to suit your response, it is bit difficult for me at this age.

Hi
love between the couples is natural. But who told you that I am an ardent lover of my husband? As a matter of fact, i am not at all a lover LOL. So don't ever plan to learn any art of love making from me my dear friend, lest you will be in doldrums dearha ha ha

I am old and this age is only for my body and not for my mind. You have reminded our mylotters of my age , it is okay.
I am old, whether it is pretty I still don't know.
I think the only thing that you consume in excess is LOVE.

I think there is nothing worng with that. But if the love is being abused by either one then, that is when it becomes wrong. Showering our spouse/lover with too much love just proves to them how much we care.

hello vijayanths!
i agree with you that anything in excess might harm us...
showering too much love to our spouse? hmmm i can't really say if its good or not, but i think it depends on how we show our love to them...sometimes when we show them that we love them that much, there is a tendency of them to become proud and take us for granted...and sometimes, they can feel being in prison due to that too much love that we are showing them...
with me and my husband, i think we are just showing to each other what we feel, hmmm actually sometimes i feel that he's not really showing that much and me as well, coz we don't like each other to be too dependent to each other's love...coz we know that it will be more difficult to move on if one of us will be gone someday...
but we also make sure that we don't took each other for granted and that the love that we are showing is not lesser as well...just enough for us to be happy & secure in our relationship...

You did say I could talk about my papa instead in one of last discussions. :) So here it is. Papa loves me too much - nowadays. And that makes it very difficult to get away with what I want, as I am afraid to hurt him. In process, I am compromising. :( So if you say too much love is good or not good, I'd say it is not good. :) There should be some space. :)

I wish you should make more friends and be friendly with more relatives so that you can live with more peace and secure feelings, to get started I have become your friend though away from you. Now add to this list as much as you can, this is not an advice just a friendly suggestion Vandana.

But vandana if he reduces that love you would again feel for it and that is for sure.
I think you can intake any excess only in love.
But living with detached attachment is ideal.It seems I can never be able to practice it though I am making efforts to live that way.
If I were in your shoes I would ask him for more,

This term 'showering love' is something very subjective.Now, when you use the term 'showering' is it one-sided or are both of them showering love on each other? Between husband and wife too there needs to be a bit of personal space and excessive showering love bordering on smothering may not work. How can love be measured? It does have no boundaries.But if 'showering ' love is defined by trust and understanding and giving personal space to each other then I would say there is no harm.On the other hand if it is going to be measured by excessive indulgence, obsession to the point of excluding anything and anyone else and encouragement of extreme possessiveness then it is going to be harmful.

Kala, we do say that some one is eating more and another is less. Do we weigh the food they eat? Still we can say it is excess, is it not? We don't need any digital accuracies here to measure the amount of love showered on a person.
There may be some disadvantages if I love my spouse too much?
I may be too stressed if something happens to her and that stuff, otherwise being loved too much can be the best gift one can have in life..
And then opinion differs I am vijayanths and not kala..

you are right to some extent...too much of anything is bad...though there should be no limit in love..but there must be some ups and downs..like some bitterness then sweet..that increases the joy of sweetness ..there should be some change between the two in the routine...means some days both should be apart, that increases the love and too much closeness and love..becomes boring.....

When you shower too much of love on your hubby, you will definitely pick up some sweet little quarrels occasionally and that will end up your boring and get new happiness after the end of the fake fights. Eshaan is a very romantic person, so She will know much better than vijayanths who is a LKG in love.

I think it depends on the people. Someone I knew got married before really knowing her husband. He went to all lengths to shower her with affection. Made her breakfast, drew her bath, spoiled her rotten. But when he couldn't keep doing that every day, she started getting nasty to him.
The difference is, she wasn't doing anything like that for him. From the beginning, she treated him like he was nothing. One can't give too much love, but one should be careful to realize that what you do for another isn't going to make them love you. All the love in the world can't force someone to return it.

i think too much love is good for a couples. but you need to show in the way you lover can accept. so it is not the problem of showing too much love but the problem is learn how to love and way to expressing love. by the way for couples, if they want a kind of permanent relationship, they have to sacrifise themselves as much as possible.

hi, liduo_wang, when you shower too much love on your partner you definitely would have to do a lot of sacrifices during that process.

Hi! I also think there's no excess or less in showing love. We can only conclude that it's too much when the love you share doesn't seem to be a two-way street. I believe that when you love someone, you adore, trust, accept, and respect the person in every way you can, and we would always find contentment when love is true.

There is no such thing as too much love of your spouse, you cant possibly love them too much. The thing is when you spend time showering them with love, you eliminate any doubts about your sincerity and commitment to them. Loved mates dont cheat, they try hard not to hurt their mates, and they are more kind and loving. Therefore there is nothing wrong with loving your spouse as much as you want.

vijayanths You cannot measure love that way, it does not work like a pound of coffee or a loaf of bread, no such thing as excess love, if it feel excessive then the problem may be in the sincerity of that love, like people who really do not like you but are excessively nice to you, you know without doubt that is phony. but to shower someone with love is just loving someone, not too much of any thing just right as love cannot be measured like a pound of apples, either you love someone or you do not love someone.Sincere love is never too much,insincere love will let the receiver know at once its just an act.

Hi, Hatley,I think we can find out whether our partner is having excess love on us or not.
For everything you have average, below average and good. When your partner showers you with more than average love then you can call it as excess love.
I think only in love excess is allowed as it does not harm anyone.

it is not bad as i think it would only add more zest between marriage couples and strengthen their bonds their is nothing wrong on it. It only becomes bad when despite the showing of affection the other couple abuse the kindnesses and never reciprocate the showering of endearment without something to expect in return is simply insulting.

I think when love and affection are genuine, no, one cannot give or show too much it to a spouse. It is the cloistering kind or the ingenuine kind that might "smother."

I think that showing love to your spouse is surely a good thing that way they know how much you care for them and love them but I also think that there are times when you can "shower" your spouse with love or other things a bit too much and it can at times ruin the relationship because one may feel they are being smothered. But I think it really depends on the person and how much they want to be "showered"

I always shower my husband with lots of love and affection. I do not believe that there is such a thing as giving too much love. I feel that since love is free it is better to spread it around. I feel that love does a lot of good for a couple.

yes, randylovesdar so don't have to restrict your self in showering the love on him. Keep on showering even if he suffocates
