View submission: Is Buddhism skeptical of romantic relationships?

Look to the middle path: starving oneself of love and letting romantic attachment consume your life are equally bad.

If you want a healthy perspective on love, read Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet” chapters on “Love” and “Marriage”. Although he wasn’t a Buddhist, he offers a view that most people—Buddhists included—can agree with, like advising lovers to break bread together, but never from the same loaf.
