When the woman said, I don’t need a piece of paper to love you, she was using a very specific definition of love. She was assuming that love is, in its essence, a particular kind of feeling. She was saying, I feel romantic passion for you, and the piece of paper doesn’t enhance that at all, and it may hurt it. She was measuring love mainly by how emotionally desirous she was for his affection. And she was right that the marital legal piece of paper would do little or nothing directly to add to the feeling.
