My great-grandma always said to find someone who loves you more than you love them. This confused me when I was young. I couldn't understand why you would ever want to be so mean as to marry someone you didn't love equally. As I have gotten older and examined my own relationship, I can see what she meant. So often, people fall so hard and quickly in love with someone who doesn't share the same amount of love for them. When you are putting everything of yourself into a relationship with someone who isn't putting all of them self into the relationship you are going to end up tired and hurt. If it feels like your partner maybe loves you a bit more than you love them, chances are it is because they are showing you how much they love you. I am sure in this healthy type of relationship, both partners probably feel as though the other loves them a bit more.
