I prefer "I need you because I love you" because I think it sounds right and romantic. I don't like "I love you because I need you" because it sounds like gold-digging to me.
Ok let's try:
honeydimple don't go, i need you...i need you because i love you.
THEN
honeydimple don't go, i love you...i love you because i need you...i need your money.
I'm trying not to be corny in here. :)

I need you because I love you makes more sense and it doesn't sound as needy as the other way around.

Yes its really correct. I need u because i love u a lot. We people need something because we loved those thing more . As love is apart from needs so better it would be i need u always because i love u forever.

To me it would be "I love you because I just do" I don't think is fair to say to any one "I love you because I need you" or "I need you because I love you" to me that is not on...I don't need any one whether I love them or not...so no I would not choose that phrase!

I think i would choose the later one "i need you coz i love you" Wow it sounds so good. I wish someone would say that to me

I think it's hard if someone tells you he/she is only loving you because he/she is needing you. Then I would ask what would happen if that person is NOT needing me anymore.
Since there is nothing else to choose I pick the second choice: I need you because I love you.
I think it's a bad thing to need someone (to make you happy or complete) but if you find your love you might find out you he might fill a need of you, you never thought you would have.

The second one. To know I'm loved Because I Am needed means the world to me. The first one seems to say Just because I'm needed at this moment , I'm loved. It feels like once I am no longer needed , the love will die.

Good question! That is a hard one! They are great phrases. I guess I would go with "I need you Because I love you" phrase. To me it sounds better. I am trying to think of a good way to explain it. I am stumped! I have never heard either phrase in my life from a man so I think I will avoid trying to make an more of a comment on it!

But both are correct for a good phrase. But the best one according to me is i need u because i love u. There love overtakes our needs as our needs lies because of our love. If we say second one as correct i love u because i need u it would be good fact sometimes im loving u because of my need.
