Immature Love says: "I love you because I need you". Mature love says: "I need you because I love you". This beautiful quote by Mahatma Gandhi turns love from the deep to the deeper. Do you understand this quote? Did it make you stop and think about how you love your partner? What does this quote do for you?

Love can never be measured...once you loved a person thats it boom..iloveyou! this does not only for the two person who love each other but also to somebody who love somebody.

Alas it is measured, for when we state that we love pizza and love our children, we surely don't mean the same thing. Am sure Gandhi enjoyed his pizza and loved humanity regardless.

This quote certainly made me stop and think about my relationship. My husband is extremely needy. Which basically confirms he has absolutely no clue what LOVE truly is. Thanks for the quote. It kind of put my life in prespective.

Yes.. two halves don't make a whole when it comes to relationships. Two fifty-percents don't make 100%. You must each be whole, and not come out of need, to make a 100% relationship. Thank you for sharing this quote. :-)

Hello again dancia. It's deep isn't it. Much deeper than first thought. More to see, more to feel, more to Know.
