this is the definition of love in the Bible:
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
Do you think it is possible for human love to satisfy all of these conditions at all times? Why or why not?

Well, I definitely know that this kind of love exists because we were created to be loved. It's just that some people are so stubborn on who they want to be loved by and how. That verse that you quoted is so awesome when you break it down.
Check it out:
"Love is patient and kind...". We all want others to have patience with each other and the same with kindness.
"...it's not irritable or resentful..." This basically is telling you the effects of impatience and rudeness.
"...it doesn't rejoice at wrong-doing, but rejoices with the truth." This part is telling us that it doesn't show love to cheat each on each other. You may be familiar with the saying "doing to others as you like done unto yourself" (something like that), well people twist that thinking that if wrong has been done unto them then they have the right to do the same. This has never been the right thing to do.
"...but rejoices with the truth" (which is honesty).
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." That part should remind us part of marriage vows which is "for better or for worse, in sickness and in health...".
All these things make love so perfect. It's a solid construction. The reason why true love is so difficult to see is because love has been modified so badly because of free will.

Its possible absolutley but true love in this day and age is nearly impossible. Thats why you see very few couples that are married for 50 or 60 years. I know true love exists but some people are so blinded by what they think is love that they end up getting hurt at one point in life or another. The real truth is when you are really really and truly in love every one of those emotions and feelings is satisfied, and sometimes you dont even realize it and almost take it for granted. I was in love once thats it once and now I have spent the rest of my life so far yearning for it but not looking, because losing it once is just as bad as never feeling it at all. Love is a tricky thing but it exists, just dont mistake it, or take it for granted, theres too many ways to lose it and not enough to get it back.

Life is NOT perfect. Love and Hate are just part of Life. Nothing is ever perfect and that is the way it is. Be nice to see that perfect show through but the Man upstairs made it so nothing is perfect. We learn by our mistakes in all we do.If Life wwas perfect, I would think it would get a bit boring don't you?

There's no perfect woman/man out there.
It could be possible for someone to satisfy all that, but most people now adays don't really care. It's all for one. I totally disagree.
My boyfriend, Kyle, is the man of my dreams, so maybe perfect love does exist, but for your question, I would say no.

No. First of all, i dont think everything the bible says is perfect and second perfect is love relative. Some people can be perfectly in love and not satisfy some of those criteria.

Love is a complex thing. It is their openly, then in the blink of an eye it is hidden in the shadows. Love is what we should strive toward. With everything going on around us I do not believe it is possible to do all those things you listed, but I do believe there is nothing wrong in trying to achieve them.

It is possible, but not likely to happen often. Humans choose their love partner for reasons other than these often. Notice it says nothing about being attractive, slim, intelligent, having a good job or nice teeth.

It sounds so amazing. I think I do believe it exists, but I have never been in love so I can't really speak.

Yes.Because love hopes all things.The day lovers become selfish,the love turns into lust alone.Finally ends.But love as an emotion is never ending.
