The world is changing so is the culture, values & expectation from a relationship is also changing
Today the meaning of love in my experience has undergone a drastic change
Modern Love is an expression of free, unbounded & unsoulful emotions between 2 persons, not necessarily between opposite gender or similar age group, that can exchange/share theirs emotions for that moment or until it subsists or survives with exchange/sharing with the same person or till such expressions results into satisfaction of achievement of materialistic or practically beneficial returns.
Vis-a-vis
Love which was for bonded relationship with a soulful emotions for opposite gender with NO knowledge of materialistic REASONS.
The modern love in its materialistic form existed, partly or wholly, in the past too but was not free, open & acceptable to society values.
Today we talk about or move in living relationships so comfortably & ignore the destructive characteristic of such relationship where bonding, respect & morality has lost its value.
The change in culture & moral values are inevitable & true & long bonded emotions are replaced by realistic & practicality which can change with circumstances so ultimately the relationship in future will add characteristic of flexibility, dynamic & freedom which eradicate the psychological illness infused due to strong & passionate love.
We may miss the love stories that we heard as they would not be relevant & necessary when person would want live with other for the time they can bear or live together
