When stock prices go up, we earn money on our investments. Likewise, when the price of the "stock" we've invested in with our lover increases (i.e. things become more serious, a relationship ensues, engagement, marriage, and further growth after marriage) we gain.
On the flip side, investing in the stock market is taking on risk, and depending on our threshold for risk, we can take on more riskier options for love, increasing the possibility of total loss (i.e. serious long distance relationships, relationships where both lovers have serious financial issues, etc.), which also means that we have to invest more into a relationship, and we also have more to lose.
Looking at your resources, and what you have to invest, the chances of you investing in more riskier forms of love decrease as you get older, and closer to the age of retirement. Young risky love and sex is fun and exciting whether you're young or old, but we stand the chance to lose more, if we don' invest in more stable, interest yielding, consistent relationships as we come of age.
The stock market crashing is part of the ebb and flow of micro and macroeconomics, but love can work this way as well, when we spend more of our precious time, energy, and resources in relationships that are predatory, unreasonable, or taxing on our minds, bodies, and spirits, we run the risk of losing big time.....but, if we take time, do research on the stock we're investing in, we can avoid problems early on.....
The stock market has many options to invest...and in love, we have many options as well....we need to stop limiting ourselves to the same nonsense that we are comfortable with. You can't earn without an investment, and it takes time to build a strong portfolio. In love, you can't expect a return on something you haven't invested in. Be open to the possibilities of love. Don't limit yourself out of fear. In love, likewise. You may find love and happiness where you least expected to invest. It may be with someone who is long distance, or someone who has different views as you, or someone of another race. Keep an open mind, and don't limit yourself to the possibilities, and enjoy the fruits of your investement.

That was a very clever way of introducing love. It is an investment, like most things that we may sacrifice for. The most important part is, you have to be in it to be rewarded.
