No, love can never be enough in a relationship. There are alot of things that go into making a relationship work and I'll list some of them out for you;
1. Patience: Both of you need to learn to be patient with each other, relationships can't work if you can't give each other time needed to cool off after an argument, or time needed to adjust to each other. Being patient with each other is key
2. Tolerance: Nobody is perfect and in every relationship there will be times when your partner may be difficult to deal with but it doesn't mean they're not worth it. You need to learn to tolerate each others excesses so that you can appreciate their good parts.
3. Find your own happiness: You need to understand that happiness comes from within and if you tie your happiness to your significant other then you'll only end up hurting yourself. Your happiness should be on your own terms, not on your lover's terms. For a relationship to survive, both of you need to be able to be happy with yourselves with or without each other
4. Understanding: No relationship can survive without this. Both partners should be able to understand each other properly and if not should be willing to learn how. If one partner feels that he's always right and the other is always wrong and doesn't try to get his partners point of view or opinion then the relationship is doomed.
5. Self worth: Far from being pompous or proud, lovers should be aware of their individual self worth. A lack of self worth will lead to jealousy and resentment on the part of the person that doesn't know his/her worth
6. Proper communication: this might be the most important one yet and that's why I saved it for last. Relationships are hard and they require alot of work, but it's a two way thing, it's not one sided so communicating how you feel or what your going through with your partner is paramount to making your relationship successful. If you can communicate properly with your partner then you might as well just give up.
There are alot more things that are required but this is what in my own opinion are the core things that are needed to make a relationship work, hopefully this answers your question.
It should be. But people's expectations differ when it comes to relationships. Some people want nothing but love, attention and care in a relationship. For them, it's enough and they'll love anyone who gives it to them, in kind.
But for some people, love alone is not enough. Some people expect love, and a whole list of other things in a relationship.
For some people, they need;
Love
Money
Their spouse to have a nice body
A good sex life
And so much more. Some can't have one without the other.
Basically the answer to your question will vary with who you ask. I feel love should be enough but again, that's just me.
Love without effort is meaningless. Love is only a feeling but the actions are the ones who dictate ones happiness. The word "effort" covers everything.
Effort is all about the actions to show how much you love a person. Giving gifts, greeting her everyday, fetching her from work, or even cooking breakfast for her are typical examples of efforts. Even being patient is part of luxurious actions in love.
Love + Effort is a perfect combination to maintain a healthy relationship. I do believe sometimes in love the spark will no longer exist, but with effort to maintain it.

We often think love is a strong foundation for a relationship. Maybe the phrase isn't wrong.
However, keep in mind, only with love does not guarantee lasting relationships.
Because, apart from love, it is absolutely necessary to respect each other in relationships. Without that attitude, love will fade even more.
In fact, in many marriages, mutual respect is sometimes more important than love itself.
When one partner loses mutual respect, the relationship will collapse.
Conversely, mutual respect will strengthen relationships.
