Re: Fiance keeps saying he loves me …
My point was that, despite the wording, I don’t think MM was attempting to determine this or even imply that one culture views love as more “scared” than another. I agree that the word sacred may not have been the best choice. As an aside, I also think the hasty and naive judgements you describe, as well as the casual use of “I love you” being described here, may also be influenced by what people see in films and on the telly, particularly the saccharine, unrealistic love stories found in many Indian films.
