Definitely. If you feel the need to change someone you think you love, it's more likely you're in love with an idea you want to mold that person into. Love encourages us to grow. Love makes us want to improve less than healthy behaviors. That's what we ourselves do when we love.

But, we cannot change another person nor expect them to change. We can only love them and hope our love encourages them to grow with us. Too many people go into relationships with someone thinking they can make that person into a perfect partner. That always leads to unhappiness.
