Does true love exist? |
True love exists because God brings two people together to for the purpose of marrying one another and that relationship provides the opportunity for true love to happen.
True love exists because the Bible says that God brings people together for the purpose of marrying one another. When God brings that perfect match into a persons life the opportunity for true love to occur becomes possible. One reason that people do not think true love exists is because they just marry anybody that comes into their lives without consulting God or even thinking whether this is the right person that He desires them to marry.
Posted by: TasticBranYes, true love exists, because it is possible to find one person to truly depend on and share one's life with.
There are many examples of couples who have survived depression, raising children, and other hardships. That is the best example of true love. True love must exist because there has to be someone a person can depend on for support and encouragement. True love makes the world a more welcoming place to live.
Posted by: WardGradTrue love exists, because feelings, such as love, are real.
Everything in this word, at least most things, are abstract concepts which don't really exist. However, true love does exist. Love is a feeling, and feelings are there, regardless of the institutions we have set up. Without this love, one wouldn't find a partner to mate with. And, without mating, we won't reproduce and perpetuate this species forward. True love is a key in the breeding process of humans.
Posted by: JoyousDennisDoes it really?
True love does exist for those who want it to. My reason? I've seen it at work in many people. Are you happy to be who you're with? If so, true love exists for you. The most common place to find it is in the hearts of those you love. They share the power of true love, if they didn't they wouldn't be together.
Posted by: AnonymousI know that true love exists, because I have been married for almost 50 years, and my husband and I love each other as much as we did when we married.
I am positive that true love exists. I have experienced it myself. My husband and I met when we were nineteen. We fell in love with each other almost immediately, and were married two years later. There has never been a day in the almost 50 years that we have been married that I have not loved my husband, and known that he loved me also.
Posted by: R0d0FerdyYes, I agree that true love exists, because many couples have stayed married and in love for over 50 years in some cases.
Yes, I believe true love exists and that people are really meant to be with a certain person. Some people find that person more quickly than others and remain married for 50 or more years. Some have several marriages before finding their true love. I think the fact that some people can remain married for so long and feel alone, broken, and saddened at the passing of their spouse, are signs that true love is real.
Posted by: I33IessTrue love, or agape love, is the love that is evidenced by God, and all other love is flawed, as the human source of love is flawed.
Evidence of the true love of God is made evident through grace. Grace is evident in nature, in love received without expectation, and in receipt of any unexpected gift.
Posted by: RemBabix2There are many people in the world both past and present that have enjoyed real love, which can be defined in many different ways.
When you have a greater desire to please and provide for someone else, rather than yourself, that is true love. When you wake up in the morning and you are happier to see someone than you are to be alive, that is true love. While there may be virtually limitless ways of defining true love, it very much exists. I believe that the mere fact that there are so many ways to define it proves its existence.
Posted by: MariaRYes, it exists if only in the heart of the lover.
True love exists and what's more, it only takes one! The truest love of all is often unrequited; it's true because it is pure and unadulterated by reality! True love exists between a mother and child, between an artist and art, between a child and his first puppy. Anywhere that passionate feeling is not tainted by selfish desire, true love exists and thrives.
Posted by: Th4FireTrue love exists for those who chose it.
If you're just waiting for true love to show up and take care of you, you'll likely look for a long time. If you are looking for someone to love, then you may well have better luck. It's more likely that your love will be returned than that you will merit love without showing it first. None of us are deserving of love all the time and sometimes this love will be returned in kind for a while and then the other person will fail dismally and betray us. That doesn't mean the love was never real. It does mean that it wasn't enough. If both partners are willing to practice loving even when they don't feel like it, then true love can only grow.
Posted by: SayNic3I believe that true love exists, but people may disagree on the definition of true love.
For as many definitions of "true love" that I know of, I believe they are all possible. In terms of loving another person, I believe that true love is really the acceptance of another human being. This definition can be expanded to the rest of the world and to the self. True love and acceptance are almost the same thing. So, yes, I do believe that true love exists.
Posted by: Iewie2cuteI believe true love exists, although sometimes people are too impatient to wait for it, it still exists, as is evident from the couples that are truly in love.
There are so many people that are truly in love, you cannot deny that it exists. The misfortune of some people not willing to wait for true love is astounding, because then they are stuck in a relationship that they should not be in. Sometimes you don't know who your true love is for awhile, and think that just because you are friends, then there cannot be anything else, which is a total farce.
Posted by: R3yn4FerIiTrue love exists because it does.
The idea and the concept stems from an understanding from a story unwritten from ages ago that exonerates the meaning of the phrase. We don't know it because we don't know it, we don't see it because we haven't seen it, but it is there and it is good. The reason that we seek it is because we are designed to do so, as well as many would say, to procreate, but I believe we look to find true love because our true happiness comes from a great care and understanding of oneself as well as another. We seek in this world to find both ourselves and the answers, and when we find true love we have found both. We need it like water, and much like a hidden well, we never find it until we have found it, and will not feel is waters until we have unwittingly and unintentionally submerged ourselves within it.
Posted by: AnonymousLove is the best thing that could happen to someone.
This experience can make you believe anything or make you the craziest person in the world. It does not matter whether you are pretty, smart or handsome and smart. Nothing would matter when your with the one that truly matters. When you have finally found who you are and who is the true love, it wont matter if you live in a cardboard box. Just as long as you are together it will be perfect!
Posted by: AnonymousTrue love does exist and is epitomised in agape love or self-sacrificing love that exists among a few people.
True love exists, but it is not the romantic garbage so often displayed on TV. That is not love, but lust. True love is when a person truly seeks what is best for another person. It is not destroyed by the loved one's actions. It forgives, understands and is patient. The definition of true love is found in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13 for those who are interested. If it can be combined with romantic love in a married couple, then that makes it even better. True love is a choice. It is not selfish.
Posted by: IindsM3II0wI met my prince charming!
After kissing LOTS of frogs and married/divorced once already. It was when I turned 33 when fate placed my husband on my path. It has been 4 years together now and it still feels like our first date. True believers and open hearts are the most receiving of the gift of true love!
Posted by: sholeena.gableWhen you have found the right person, true love is not only possible, but inevitable.
It is easy to become jaded, based on past romantic relationships that did not work out as planned. But, people should not give up on the hope of finding true love. Like many things that are easier to find when you're not looking, unexpectedly, you may meet the right person for you. Love is a connection between two people, and you know when it is there. To make it last, you must add respect, honesty, and trust. These things, mixed together, make up true love.
Posted by: SpikyWesleyIf there is no true love, then how do we even have the word?
Whether love is a biochemical hormonal rush or a psychological state of bonding to a person, the state of love does exist. The word exists in every language, in every culture, and in every known civilization. Love exists except for very few psychopaths, making it one of the few true human norms. Because love is universal, it can be true for everyone. It may be between parents and children, spouses, friends, or other family, but it can be true for everyone.
Posted by: Pir4AndYes, it does since I've felt myself.
I recall when I didn't believe in true love, but when I met my dream and fell in love, it changed my viewpoint. What would you call it when you can't live without someone? When you want to give without expecting anything in return? Or, when you believe in someone in all circumstances and stand by him/her? If it's not true love, then what it is?
Posted by: TownMasoI know it exists, because I've found it, and because I've seen others do so.
I know that true love exists, because I have found it for myself, and am lucky enough to share it with my wife. Of course, my anecdotal experience proves nothing. I see it in others, however. Every day you see people doing things and making sacrifices that can be explained by nothing other than love. True love exists. You can see it every day, if you're willing to look.
Posted by: P4cBranTrue love exists, only if you encounter the right person
Some people have a negative experience during a bad relationship. This just means they need to find a better match. Don't let one bad experience make you believe otherwise. There are 7 billion people on this planet, I'm sure there's a match for everyone. Each experience gets your closer to finding someone better for you.

it is one of the human madness
If Hitler loved god and said that god said to him to eliminate human madness by killing people, is this acceptable?
If the cannibal loved his wife and they tried to become one body forever by eating it. is this love?
Love is an attachment.
Many people have an attachment but they call it love instead of what it really is.Posted by: AnonymousLove is so poorly defined word.
all the supporting opinions are for pcychological status reached by certain hormones and chemical reaction. sure we customarily say mother loves her son. but it is nothing but human expression of biological reaction whatever caused it. we' re using such expression to make things look great not because such entity exists in real. love is so poorly defined and i wouldn't rather use it at all.
Posted by: AnonymousIdeally yes, but arguably no.
In the context of 'romantic' true love, I believe that two people will feel highly attracted to each other based on a combination of hormones (e.g. oxytocin) and neurotransmitters that activate their 'reward' centers of their brain, leading to feelings of attachment to each other. The level of oxytocin released is proportional to the levels of attachment they have for each other.
That said, I'm happy to be proved wrong. I would love to fall in love with someone and grow old with them. I admire people that sit next to their partner when they are ill/going through a tough time, and give them the support, love and encouragement.Posted by: AnonymousLove is an illusion
I am 17 years old. I am agree that I am pretty young, but since I was born I have never seen true love. People do date and they do marry each other , but they do that because of their selfish reasons. I have been in relationships a few times, but that was enough for me to understand that true love doesn't exist. Once I loved a man older than I am, and I was desperate about him, I allowed him to be really close to me, but all he wanted was sex so he left me in a year. He said he loved me more than life itself but would he go away if it was truth? I don't believe in love; my parents never loved each other, they never told each other they love one another, never hugged or kissed. I tried to love someone too, but I am not capable, I am not capable to get attached to a person, I never loved someone first, I really tried..... But I wish love existed.
