A comment on Beyond reason: the mathematical equation for unconditional love.
Let U be your utility function Let U' be your partner's utility function Let U and U' be normalised against the same scale
A love is real iff
* U is defined in terms of U': U = C(U')
* and for any positive change e' there is a e >= e' such that U + e = C(U' + e').
Disclaimer: no guru, I know formulations are sloppy, but you get the idea :)
