If you feel differently as does your partner, fine. but i believe true love can only be felt between two people.

Okay then I'll say just as simply the true love can exist between one person and two or more other people.

You've said that familial love is the love caused by similarities, and romantic love is the one caused by differences. Why does that have to be? I could just as likely fall in love with a girl who also likes Iron Maiden, supports Liverpool FC, etc, because we are so similar, and seemingly "made for each other".
And I could just as easily love a cousin who I talk with and holds different opinions from mine, we could sit and have long talks. If he/she likes comedy movies where I might like action, we could show each other what we like, that is "discovery" too. The reasons you give aren't solid, because they could apply for either "kind" of love as I've shown.

So there is something he cannot do, as you've said yourself, whether he makes it using "less strength" or "more strength", he is making a stone so heavy he cannot lift.
