Your way of thinking about love

Recommended Posts

As much as I want to find love I've noticed that I, for some reason, don't seem to understand it all too well.When I think of love all I see is coming across a person who's smile alone can make you feel at peace no matter how you're feeling.But from what I've observed it seems as if my idea of love is an extremely fairy-tale-like love. Perhaps love in reality is different from it somehow

I feel the same as you. I think it's better if you find a person that is like you and that you can share your whole life with.But, why do you keep saying "until we marry" lol? What happens after that? :P

Well it's the future to decide . For the until we marry part it's just for highlighting purpose Edited by Valhite

Me personally, I have the kind of love that most people in my country don't have. My kind of love is that, 2 people who can understand each other well, be there when needed, care for each other. And of course, love that will bring us together forever until we marry. Unlike many people in my country who play with heart and love and change partner every now and then. I prefer a long lasting relationship until we marry. How about you guys? What do you think about the so-called LOVE?

My belief is that love is wanting the happiness of someone else even if it means making sacrifices to provide that happiness. When two people are truly in love they want to be together forever with no desire to cheat on each other. They enjoy spending time together, lift each other up and are willing to make compromises. They love each other for who they are on the inside far more than simply how they look on the outside. I also believe that marriage should be a key part of true love, though I don't wish to offend anyone here in a long-term relationship who isn't married when I say that. I just believe in old-fashioned romance.  

 

These two summed it up perfectly for me.

 

Peace!

Interesting question. Being in a relationship, and loving my girlfriend, I can tell you that the way I think about love is enjoying time with each other more than enjoying time by ourselves. It's when you stop putting yourself as a priority in life but instead you put her/him; when you start wanting to take care of your partner more than anything else; when the laughter or a smile of the partner just makes your day.

That kind of love exists. It all depends on the person really. It's usually because people are selfish and put themselves first in a relationship and focus on what they will get out of it that it fails. And since it requires two people, it's rare to find to people that are selfless enough to put each other before themselves and on top of that make sure they have a good enough life for a lasting relationship.

When I think of true love, I view it as a sort of commitment: a commitment to be by that person's side always and support them no matter what.  If both partners support one another and love each other unconditionally, I truly feel that a relationship can work because neither will ever do anything to deliberately hurt the other person (or do something they know would harm them, even if not exactly deliberate).  I don't feel that love is one of those fling relationship scenarios.  True love is when you're devoted to a person and both people share a bond and common interest in the welfare of one another.  It's a very reciprocal thing, and if it's not there for both people I don't think it will work as effectively.  It's a shared commitment!

Romance is a complex thing. So much so that i dont think i can describe it all on here. However i do know that my wife and I find new stuff to talk about everyday and i find new things i love about her everyday. Shes my ultimate partner who needs no words said to know what im thinking and i can't imagine life without her.

But you know thats just me. I wont deny it: im so in love with my wife.

Happy early Valentines day

I entirely agree here.  It's very lovely to see that another person is as crazy about their spouse as I am with mine. :wub:

These past few years have molded the way I feel about and think of love in such a way that it is naught but a shadow of what I used to think of it and feel about the concept.

 

I once thought love, true love, as a sort of ultimate goal in life, to find someone who is selfless, dedicated and capable of loving me unconditionally, all like me for someone else, and that if done right it could last a lifetime, even if the partner is miles and miles away, even through the issues of adulthood that rise, we would find a way in the end.

 

...But...now...

 

I see Love as nothing but Pain. Pain, misery and suffering that weigh heavily on my Heart and Soul..it's all just imminent pain, waiting to strike when you least expect it, like when someone you've loved deeply and they've loved you in return to the same intensity just, up and leaves due to the worries of adult life, because of factors that could be beaten and worked around, but in the end they cracked and just....broke my Heart, no matter what I said to try and help.

 

I've been at fault with other relationships, because I understood little about how to do it, yet I've remained friends with one of them...and the other...I kept trying with them, so many times...because they were the one in my eyes.....and now, they are gone forever.

 

All I'm left with is just....pain. And I honestly feel I may never love like that again.

 

....still, life moves on and I have one still to live, even if I must go it alone.

 

 

(Before anyone makes "Edgy" and "Attention" jokes/comments, this is honestly how I feel. I just needed to vent and say it.)

Love to me is someone who makes you feel beautiful or worthwhile everyday, someone who accepts all your faults and quirks without judging you, someone who thinks you are beautiful even at your worse, someone who can make you smile by just being there or over the little things they do in life, someone who will stand with you even through the darkest or toughest times, someone who will give their life to you and make sacrifices to make you happy and vice versa, someone who respects you and your love, someone who can accept your true self, and someone who is absolutely your best friend.

It's something beautiful something pure it's even indescribable it's when you feel that happiness it's when someone accepts you for who you are when they're there for you it's when even the simplest words or just seeing the other person just gives you this rush of happiness and comfort,and it's just amazing.

Kunivas... :( You know what, though? You are probably by far one of the toughest people I've met! Instead of just giving up on life like some individuals do, you deal with the pain! I'm not sure how many times you've had this sort of thing happen, but regardless, you are a really strong guy. That is a powerful gift you have! :) I will pray for you, and that maybe some day, your TRUE love shall come to you, and heal your broken heart, and that she won't abandon you ever again! Stay strong, Kunivas!Rock on!

A tough question... honestly speaking I'm quite confused about love and I don't think I really understand it.

But right now I think it's about commitment, making a promise to always be there for someone and to think what's best for them and being able to let go of them if that's what they really need, no matter how that makes you feel. I don't really believe in romantic love, as I tend to see love and attraction as separate things entirely. Like, no matter if it's your family member or boy/girlfriend or whatever, the love you feel for them is basically the same. Sure in romantic relationships, there's usually the sexual attraction, which you of course don't feel towards your family members. : PP I quess you could just say romatic love is love+attraction, but I've just always seen them as separate.

Then again, I have very little experience of relationships, so I don't think my view on this matter is very valid. xD But that's how I see it anyway.

To me, loves a give and take sort of thing. No one is without flaw. Love see's no color, and love doesn't let worldly things get in the way of the relationship. Its working through problems and always being there to help one another out. A true love is something I've only ever found in Christ. Which of course, is a different love. But love for other people romantically comes in four forms. Mental, physical, spiritual, and sexual. Love draws a connection between these four. Not just a sexual arousal or mere infatuation, but strong bond between two people that is rare in life. 

 

And on the topic of Love having a negative impact in peoples lives, love can cause pain just as it can joy. But never be afraid to step out into the future for fear of repeats of the past. Each experience is different. Such is life.

I think it's also worth considering love in contexts other than just romantic. Honestly, I feel that if you care about the emotional and physical well being of another person, be they your friend, family member, or other members of mankind in general, you are experiencing the sensation of love, because it's letting you care about someone other than yourself, and receiving an emotional payoff from their happiness as well as your own.

I don't believe in love in the romantic sense. 

Platonically? I assure you platonic love is very real. It's when other's happiness is just as important as your own, and when you feel happy from their happiness.

That's what love is.
