Is it just moi, or is that a huge lie?

NO WAY is it enough!
Especially because most people don't know what 'LOVE' is or they certainly don't practice it in their relationships.
People use the word love a lot, but it is rarely love in action.

Oh dear, what a question. Love is everything, but then again, it doesn't pay the bills, does it? You know, for a true lasting relationship, it takes a little more than just love. There are many people in life (and yay for that!) that we dearly love, but for a romantic relationship to be more and lasting, you need to have something that will last beyond the intial whee! (called limerance I think) and into a relationship that builds.
You need things in common. If you have nothing to talk about and don't have things in common, forget it.
You need to be able to discuss stuff. That is vital.
You need also something that you don't know until you meet them, chemistry. It's that intangible, wonderful zing you get being with them. Something just clicks. There's no telling who or what does that, it just is.
Beyond that, a whole lot of faith in each other, forgiveness, and trying. Always trying.
Then, simple, good relationship... LOL

It depends on what love means to you. I have been married a very long time. For a relationship to work, there must be trust first. The attraction and rush of adrenalin due to sexual attraction is gone after a couple of years. Then you settle into a more secure stage where you start working together to make a life. It is best to go together for long enough to first to find out if you are compatible in many areas. Real love comes when you do things for, or help the other person, to make their life better. In other words. you make sacrifices for that person and he or she does the same for you. Real lovers become more selfless.

I think love is just the common ground for a relationship, but you need so much more!!! Trust, communication, good chemistry, things you have in common... I could go on with the list!! But to answer your question, yes, love is definitely not enough for a good relationship.

The ones who fall into a suicidal depression when its over. Love is a decision. Not a magical fariytale many believe in. i.e. How many relationships end because of sex outside the relationship? or money issues?

well i think love is the most important part of a relationship, then theres trust, respect, caring for one another, lust for each other, wanting to spend the rest of your life with them. which basically is the definition of love. but are all very very important parts

love is not enough. You need to be compatible, you need to be honest about everything, you need to be faithful to each other, you need to have the same basic life standards, there should be no abuse, you should find each other attractive even when you are old, etc, etc.

Love is just one of many factors needed.
