No! Love in and of itself is not enough....it takes a lot of time, energy, and emotion......plus WORK to keep it going!

No, not usually. You need more than just love. But yes love should be the basis and foundation of your relationship. It usually isn't from the start but over time that you spend getting to know the person you may grow to love them and you may not. You definitely need trust, honesty, faithfulness, communication, and respect. Fighting isn't always bad. but you should work on your communication skills as a couple so you don't fight as much as you currently do. it will help a lot! And try to remind your self why you love eachother. have a date night to reconnect with eachother especially after a big fight.

Great minds think alike, and seemingly have the same issues we're in the same boat with that problem. I would love to hope love is enough, try as hard as u can for as long as u can take time away from each other every now and again (absence makes the heart grow fonder). Agree to disagree. Try to invent new and fun things to do with each other. Always think on the positives, like why u luv each other, and all ur partners good qualities. These help to lessen tension. Kiss ur partner if u find an argument is about to erupt or say I luv u Babe

I'm wondering the same thing over here about my realtionship. Honestly I don't think love is enough. there is so much more like being friends, trusting eachother, and liking the person. Liking the person is important, but it is kinda hard for me to "like" my guy because we are always fighting alot of the times. We don't have alot of the same interests... I don't know

Love is what makes a relationship work.

It depends on what you describe as fighting. If it is a loud exchange of ideas....figure out some rules that you can both agree on and yes, love can make it work. If you are getting physically violent with one another....walk away.

no way. you need much much more than love for it to ever work. take this example: a trainer beats a dog daily, loves on it everynow and then. the dog has some love their for its trainer, so it continues to allow itself to be beatin. unrestrained love is enough to make all of us 'trained', but its not enough to creat a level field we all need to be happy.

You need more than love. You need trust, money, friendship, common interest, and lots of patience.
