Is Love Enough In A Relationship?

by johnlazy on November 7, 2008

I’m really excited about this post. Because it is all about love and if we talk about love there are so many definitions out there. I’m really optimistic about love even though sometimes it has some bitterness into it.

The ideal definition of love is; “Love is patient, love is kind; love is never envious or arrogant with pride. Love doesn’t brag it is not proud”. For some, “Love is blind. And for others, Love is when he/she left someone for so long and the one left behind still willing to embrace the person. We call it love at its best.

But the question is, is love enough to keep the relationship going? We all know that love is the foundation of relationship, by sharing the emotional pleasure of the beating heart it will form into something only the heart could explain. And the nature of your emotion will be bombarded with mixed feeling of excitement, eagerness, delight and enjoyment. You can’t sleep, you’re smiling all the time, and for no reason you’re murmuring on yourself. What a crazy love!

After the amazing feeling the practical side of love will set in. You’re beginning to doubt its true meaning and if love really is a magical feeling. But sometimes you continue anyway because you want to test the limit of your love.

In a relationship love is very important, But, Is that sufficient? And is that the only reason why you’re in a relationship? What if you don’t have money? What if your partner is a killjoy you love him/her, but you’re not enjoying the rapport. Are you still considering love?

Money is the biggest issue in a relationship nowadays. Some people may say if you don’t have money, you don’t have honey. In a practical point of view that is true, a lot of women are practical and thinking also about their future. Because they say love can vanish if your stomach is in desperate need of nourishment. And if you want something and your partner can’t provide it to you, you’ll have to think twice. Is love really enough?

But not all people have the same mindset, because for others, Love will always be their undying creed that whatever happens they will not exchange love for material things. I think highly of those people, trying their very best to save the relationship if it is in danger. I remember one scene in the movie when the guy said to the girl; Well you don’t have to marry me because I’m about to die, and the girl said I will still marry you because I Love You, even though you’ll live for 24 weeks, 24 days or 24 hours, I will not deny myself to be with you. Wow! What a great love, but is that applicable in real life?

People have different take on love. Some are practical; some are true to their hearts. But the true remains, that relationship is the binding of two people willing to undergo changes in their life, understandably because people have different values and culture. That’s why relating love as the sole carrier of relationship would not stand the test of time if the foundation is not that strong.

We all have different definition and perspective of love in a relationship. Is love really enough in a relationship? That I still don’t know. But my experience speaks for itself that love alone could not get it done.

Is love enough for your relationship? Or are you craving for more?

Well john, I have been living in this planet for 50 years and i think I have seen all types or kinds of love do bring. A couple almost quarreling daily where the girls almost, always ended up in bruises but never leaves her man.A lady who still wants to marry her boyfriend even he is inside the coffin.A couple despite their poverty still continue to have children one after another.Last I heard she is giving birth to her 10th child.Love is a many splendor thing. hehehe

True love makes a way to show its true nature. Love without putting it into action is not love at all.
