I dont think it conquers all. Sometimes when its broken it just can't be fixed....even if you do love them. I've been with a few that I really loved but knew I shouldn't be with and left. So love didn't conquer in my case.
Absence does make the heart grow fonder but sometimes it can make your heart grow fonder of someone who is available.

Sometimes love just isn't enough..... it also takes trust.... honesty and respect to make love conquer all.
But if you are talking spiritually ..... then yes love conquers all.
As to out of sight, out of mind and absence makes the heart grow fonder ... well that depends on the individual.......and the dynamics of a person's core belief.

Absence make the heart grow fonder...my husband went out of town this morning to work on a movie and I already miss him and can't stop thinking of what I want to do to him when he comes home.. I think without the everyday little annoying things he does...I just want him even more when he is away. If the relationship is strong enough...out of site means...awesome action once he returns.

I think the answer to this is, absence makes you know how strong your feellings are. My wife and I have been seperated for 3 months and I miss and love her like crazy, she on the other hand treats me no better than a stranger on the street, I think she would treat the stranger better. I left because we had moved in with her mom and I felt she had grown closer to her mom almost like being a daughter again and she was growing further apart from me, now that we are seperated I can see that was likely so. So I think if you love that person truely with all you can than yes it does, but if the feelings are gone they are gone and absence or nothing else will bring it back.

It depends on the people. It is different for different couples.
If you are away from each other for a period of time you can either realise how much you miss them in your life or begin to love the freedom you have without them.
Love does not concur all. Almost anyone who is married will tell you that even if they love their spouse, marriage is a lot of friggen hard work! Love isn't enough to keep things together. Love plus hard work, communication, dedication and persistance is what conquers all. And it is much easier to develope these when you are together rather then appart.

Love doesn't conquer all, it just encourages you to work a little harder toward conquering those problems. As for the rest of the question(s), I'd have to say both. "Out of sight, out of mind" for the most part, then something will trigger that memory...a whiff of cologne, a song on the radio, something...and then it's all over.

Yes, if it is really true love, that person will come back to you and the absence will make them appreciate you even more! Time apart not only helps the relationship but you as an individual. Sometimes you get so caught up in the relationship and what his/her likes are but forget your own.
Stay true to yourself! :)

It all depends on the person, everyone is different. The sad truth of the matter is that love doesn't always win. Always remember the key rule: A relationship takes TWO people to work, not just one.

No, love doesn't conquer "all"... No one even knows quite what "love" is. I have to say "out of sight out of mind" on this one.

No. If love conquered all the Trojan war would have never happened. Instead the Trojan war did occur over a women, and not for her love.
As a man, no sex means no life, it's our oxygen.
