Since a person's love life is something very personal, the word is almost always used with a possessive pronoun. You talk about 'mein' (my), 'dein' (your), 'ihr' (her/their), or 'sein Liebesleben' (his love life).

A love life is often described with adjectives like 'glücklich' (happy), 'chaotisch' (chaotic), 'kompliziert' (complicated), or 'nicht existent' (nonexistent). A typical verb in this context is 'haben' (to have).
