I have to agree with Daisy's response above. The amount of time and your age have nothing to do with true love or the quality of your relationship. You can be in your mid-thirties and commit all your free time to each other, but that does not guarantee that your time together will be of quality, that it will make you happy or mean you are in love.
It sounds like if you feel the need to commit all your free time to each other in order for love to exist, that one or both partners have self-esteem and/or abandonment issues that need to be dealt with or the possibility of the relationship ever blossoming into true love is non-existant...it would merely be commitment due to dependency.
True love is putting your relationship as a priority (but not your sole one), taking the other person's thought, feeling, hopes and dreams into consideration when making decisions and compromising on things that you both don't agree on.
There is nothing lonelier than being with someone and feeling alone.

"True love," in my opinion doesn't expect that all of one's free time be spent with another. In fact, current literature indicates that one is more happy in a relationship where each of the people involved has separate interests that they pursue on an individual basis. Too much "togetherness" is stifling in a relationship, I feel.
This idea should hold in any mature relationship, whether it be in one's 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. A joyous love for another person is a deep, multi-faceted thing that allows diversity of ideas but essentially focuses on one other person for companionship, stability and a safe haven for getting away from the hassles of some everyday parts of our world. I'm in my mid-60s, belong to a Christian singles dating service that is nationwide here in the States and have met some excellent "matches" who have been marvelous additions to my life.

True love is never conditional, or dependent on any outside situation, it is a personal quality, a way of being...
Adults choose to commit free time to each other because they find some mutual compatibility, and this adjustment gives a sense of freedom, trust, and joy, which brings some happiness. This could be termed as love, but vanishes if this mutual compatibility becomes unviable, and they feel this love to be 'lost' !

Paul McCartney and his first wife Linda were married in late 1969, and except for the eight days that he spent in jail in Japan when he got caught with 5 ozs. of pot, they never spent a night apart.
He was the only Beatle not to get divorced, and was with her until the very end of her battle with breast cancer.
Definitely an exception, and probably not ALL of their free time, but from all accounts that I've seen, this was as close to a perfect marriage as there ever was.

Do you think people in their mid-thiries are not capable of love? Or are you referring to the free time? If you commit all your free time to someone, no matter what age, then it is not true love. It is insecurity or obsession.

let's say only if there were true love between the two in there 20s...if that didn't happen because you married later then only if you want it to. why in the world would anone want to spend all free time with anyone anyway...don't you have a life??? love or not doesn't sound healthy to me..

ya y not. ln love age does'nt matter what matters is the feeling for the person if it is still in heart as fresh as young as it was 10-12 years before then it hardly matters if it is thirties or sixties

your question is a bit confusing...true love exsists in the minds of those who believe in true love. also...you speak of it like it is a duty....something that fits on a time line of life or schedule. I think if you work hard and communicate, anything is possible....all this from not understanding your question entirely. So take it for whats it worth
