The cultural and social influence on love.
One might say we're all humans and we share the same feelings, Yeah... what's next? let's take the example of western culture. it tells you you found a partner you're both in love you should date, if things went great you should move in together... live together for as long as the love lasts... and as a final state of love one might go for marriage!
Now you're in Algeria same thing happened you're in love it's mutual things going great, now you have to marry her! because that's what lovers DO, that includes meeting her family, getting along with her mother or protective father, having endless phone calls, make tons of parties and family meetings because that's what lovers DO! pay her more money than her friend received, who she or her mother envy :p
I'm not stating that the western example is the ideal one to follow it was just an example to show how different the love experience can be. Else, just as the Algerian one it exposes lovers into a lot of rather unpleasing challenges, Love is more or less the same but culture imposes a very precised plan about how people should express it, disagreeing would be interpreted as a negative sign of love. I think this ruined love and just took it out of it's abstract pure meaning.
