What is true love and how do you know when you have found it?


I am curious of your feedbacks...



i learned something new yesterday... i realized i was wrong all along for many years..

i will tell you mine.. after i read some of yours.. :)

i realized this may be different opinions on each individuals.. so please dont bashing or anything like that ok? :)
 
I think one of the largest parts of true love is RESPECT... if you truely love someone you respect who they are in every way, if you look at the quote in my signature you'll see something about that.

Back in the day when people had pre-arranged weddings many times they didn't love each other when they got married, but grew to love each other out of respect.

A second very important thing is trust... that's why I don't think it's good to rush into marraige... because it takes years to build respect and trust, and you have to be sure you can respect and trust somebody before you marry them.
 
Well......its hard to describe actual true love. its just that feeling you get.......you know? not infatuation, not lust, but actual love for the person. you can't be without them, you have to be by their side, you're compelled to.............im not really sure but its just a great love for the other person. lol its very complicated. i don't think that you can actually describe true love. well maybe not me anyway. lol

One thing for sure is that it's the BEST feeling in the world! it's easy to say what contributes to it... but hard to define WHAT exactly it is... it's like a fear of doing anything to hurt the other person, but not a bad fear... it's knowing that even if you DO do something wrong they will still forgive you just like you would forgive them... it's definitely butterflies in your tummy when you see them, and when you hear their voice, and when you touch them.
 
theres alots different opinions over "true love"

As for me.. Since i found the true of love..

Accept who i am. and accept who he is

Happy myself and happy himself first

willing to be work together as team like forgive, listen our bad sides even we like it or not

respect, truth, listener, communicate

support/help each other
 
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
 I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with ACTIONS and in truth."
 I John 3:18 (NIV)

I learned that Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. HOnesty, and truth! of course! Love doesnt based on how we feel. Yes, our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action - true love. Which mean that they will always be there for you in good or bad times. Never leave your side through it all. He is here for you. you know?

I learned something new.. I guess I was blind.. lol :)



  1. look at the Word of God
  2. be completely honest with ourselves
  3. understand the level of commitment that comes with true love

I really don't mean to offend any of the Christians but love doesn't come from the word of god. Love has been around way befored Christianity ever started. i just thought that id say that.
 
Everyone has its own love, and it is hard to explain, because my love may be different than yours. Once you feel a love, you would understand YOUR own love, and telling someone about your love, someone would understand it, but not as in 100%, because they have NOT feel your OWN love yet. Love = complicating.

I second that!
 
There is no right or wrong to come to the definition of LOVE. Everyone has their own definition of what love is like. It does not mean it is good or bad. It just comes in their own special way when they see it as fit. In retrospect, Yes it can be complicated to describe love but when you feel it, you know it inside your heart to preserve it. It is better to be loved than NEVER to be loved.
 
It doesn't matter whether love was here before the bible came along or not. The important thing the poster, SmileyGin learned what love is. I think the bible is a good place to start for some people since it has some good advice.

For me, love is trust, respect and accepting another person's faults along with the good traits. Love starts in different ways for diffferent people--some with loud bang and others is a quiet creeping on them. Mine was a big bang and over the years it become a more steady kind of love.

Both of you are wrong. It orginated with God, first. Remember Adam and Eve, the first humans that shared true love. That is unless if you don't believe them.

Keyword: Both of you are wrong.


It may leads to World War 3, so think 5 times harder before you say something.
 
Remmy no bashing... respect.. they are entitled to their own opinions, ok? :)

Yes, I second that...

I'm also with Jolie77 and vithios, too.

True love is a different as God's love.
 
For me, True love is accepting a person despite their faults, loving them during the good and bad, having them do the same for you in return.
It's knowing they will be there when you're sad, they will support you in everything you do or don't do. They don't ask for more than you're willing to give. They have the patience to put up with your many faults and still love you.

Love is wanting to wake up each morning next to that person and kiss them good morning, being able to sleep next to them at night and actually feel safe instead of scared. It's kissing them or hugging them just because.

I agree with ya there...that's what i believe also! :thumb:
 
True love is hard to find! Many people thought that they had true love but they broke up or got divorce. I was in same boat. I thought i had a true love with my ex. I was so wrong. I had hard time understand what is true love.

One day My stepdad sat with me and he explained to me about Love. He said Love have more than one and love can effect you emotion, happy, sad and etc. I asked him about a true love. he said it is very hard to find.

My husband and I believe that we found a true love each other. We don't let anything hurt our true love. It is very challage. We have to learn to be strong and protect our love.
