    No.
    I remember reading Amy Tan's "Joy Luck Club" a few years ago; I can't remembe rthe precise quote, but one of the characters was getting relationship advice from an elderly aunt who told her
    "Love may be a very nice thing but it won't feed the children or keep the roof ove ryour head."
    A lot of problem relationships (Romeo & Juliet included) are a result of the "All you need is love" philosophy impressed on us by soppy movies. Love is a luxury that is so difficult to define that it's essentially meaningless anyway. If we have mutual trust, accountability, sexual attraction, common interests and goals, security, honesty, dependability, friendship- what does "love" (whatever that is) really add to the equation anyway?
    99% of what people call love is either a myth or an illusion. the 1% feels good when times are good, but its not enough to keep you going when times get tough.
