Love highly present in peoples talks and all cultural spheres, its importance suggests the need to understand what role technology plays in relation to it and the roles it could play in the future. We review studies related to love in HCI and we identify a lack of consideration of philosophy as a background for love understanding. Based on literature review, we offer a proposal of guidelines for designing technology that aims to improve loving relationships. Besides, we examine principles of engagement with technology that may be important when designing love-promoting technology. Finally we present a Productive Love promoting system, which evaluation indicated that the participant found it useful to improve their Productive Love.
