Love is defined by culture

"... one's culture has been found to have a more powerful impact on love beliefs than one's gender (Sprecher & Toro-Morn, 2002). Culture affects how a person defines love, how easily he or she falls in love, who he or she falls in love with, and how the relationship proceeds (Kim & Hatfield, 2004)."

from the book, 'Sexuality Now: Embracing Diversity,' by Janell L. Carroll
