I'm copying directly from our topic "Love Yourself" but my answer is no and here's why:

From what I've observed there are different kinds of love, the Greeks break it down into 3 types:

eros has to do with sensual love, most romances are built on, it has no enduring quality of any kind

phileo is the love of one brother for another, it's the love of a father for his child, typically follows bloodlines

agape is a deeper and more intense and eternal love, even when the recipient doesn't deserve it, love no matter what

Love is a complicated thing but IMO it's one thing that when it's real, you know it. What you feel for your daughter and what she reciprocates to you Duke is real love. To find that intensity of love with and from another person, a mate if you will, is rare, but when that happens you have found your lifetime companion. Not many people do find that person, to often people miss what's right under their nose, settle for someone who doesn't deserve them or give in to pressure to get married, which isn't the point of love at all.
