Relationship between men and women are said to be arguably predicated on love. It is believed love is a strengthening mechanism to foster longevity of the union existing between men and women. 

However, is love really the true common denominator between men and women who are in relationships with each other?  Could it be for a relationship to stand, is one in love and the other in business? 

In terms of gender, love, to women, is an expression of emotion while men would see love as an avenue to release tension through sex.

For procreation sake, love could be that nature's biological trick that "leads" the man to meet the woman of his "choice" to realize the agenda of continuity of species.

Given the survival and procreation instincts of women, it is said that men tends to show love while women are in business. Or does it mean relationships between men and women are chiefly transaction-based ?

What is then LOVE?

In my definition, the word "love" has an assigned acrostic 

L-Letring

O-Offered

V-Values

E-Exist

My answer to the subject matter is: dependent on the value(s) one  has, offered,  is offer ng and will  surely offer to his or her spouse or partner.
