Our culture favors a version of "love" that is actually pretty dysfunctional in many respects. Movies, pop songs, and TV-- thanks to the broader historical, largely Judeo-Christian forces-- tend to depict love in ways that equate it with total self-denial and enmeshment. This leads to a society full of people who place unrealistic demands on themselves and their partners in romantic/family relationships and in fact leads to a lot of confusion and dysfunction.
