Hello!! just wanna ask something? How do we really measure love? Is it on the things that our partner has given to us? Is it on how near we are on each other? In what our partner do for us? Is it the time you spend together? For me love is measured based on how you understand each other and on how you accept your differences. Love is understanding ones difference. You? how do you measure love? just throw in your response and let's see how do you measure love.

I dont think u can measure love, because some ppl speak diff love languages. What translates to love to one is a duty to another. Like traditionally a man might think providing economically is his way to show love, but his wife might think love is expressed in words or gifts. Once you find out what love means to you then i think its clearer.

It is impossible to measure love. It is a deep feeling and emotion. we lose something in that love when we try to put a value on it.

I think that the best way to measure your love is just to measure how happy you are in your life that you have with your current partner. If you are both very happy with the way that things are, then I would suggest that you are in love and there is nothing that you should try to change about that if you're fine the way you are. You can show your love for each other by buying gifts for each other, but you shouldn't really "measure" your love based on how many gifts you buy, because material gifts aren't the end of the world.

for me there is only one measurement for love, If you or your partner can SELFLESSLY dedicated one's being to the other that would be 100% L ve. But then there is no 99% or 80% love.

Love is immeasurable. You can never measure love. You can not demand for love, it is earned. Just try to measure the Love of God for us. In my finite mind, I can't understand why God give His Son to die to saved the World. In John 3:16, for God so Loved the world that He give His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Oh! How my Jesus loved me. We can't measure the loved we earned from somebody else. There are kinds of love but there is no such thing as measuring Love.
