If a partner views their significant other’s love as "charity," they may inadvertently position themselves as a "project" or a victim. The danger lies in the imbalance. Charity implies a hierarchy: the giver (who is benevolent) and the receiver (who is in need).
When love becomes a lifestyle, it ceases to be an occasional event (date nights, anniversaries) and becomes the wallpaper of her existence. —meaning the "lifestyle" component is the container that holds the charity.
