Not that suffering is indispensable to love, but in this world, it is inevitable. And beyond being the only possible proof of love, it involves the very essence of what it means to love.
Suffering, not for the suffering itself, nor even to justify one's love, but simply because the other one suffers. We all suffer, and we all look for someone who would agree to share our sufferings. We all look for someone who would agree to love us.
Love does not prevent suffering, but it relieves the sufferings, it heals the wounds and diminishes the pain. The magnitude of love is measured by the magnitude of the suffering it shares.
Some philosophies preach detachment, in order to avoid the suffering. That would be avoiding love. That would be avoiding life.
