Thank you for the responses! And no, I don't really mean as in property or ownership. I mean it as in, when people say "you're MINE" or "you're MY girl/guy"... what does that mean to you?
I wasn't really looking for anything specifically, I just wondered what everyone thought. I came upon this question in a conversation with a friend and it has been on my mind. Thanks again!

 Depends on what you mean, do you belong as in property? Then no.
Do you mean as Pepper&Salt belong together? Then yes.

Not at all, I actually think that this may be a negative way to look at love. If you think love is belonging to someone else then your happiness relies on them. You can't give someone else those responsibilites. You can give YOUR love to someone else, but it is your love, your heart, and you have the choice who to give this to. You and you alone are the only one in charge of your love, your heart and your happiness...

 Not belonging as such unless you like putting it that way. In general terms I would say yes it does involve a commitment of all the things that you mention. Obviously for most people it includes faithfullness in all those aspects. I think being committed to somebody is totally different to being owned by them. A commitment is something that you make to the other person; obviously an object that they own doesnt make that kind of commitment.
Something that is own is totally controlled. Something that is committed isnt; they are making a pledge of their own free will. Thats my opinion.

i would say that no love does not involve belonging to your partner, it is more that you have someone to share all your happy and sad moments with. it the same situation as with your friends they dont belong to you just because you love them. everyone is there own person and never belongs to anyone.
