Thank you for asking this question! I'm a Christian and I've been on a seemingly single crusade to thwart thoughts of this kind. God, if you believe in Him, is and has, the greatest Love of all, right. However, to label Him as having "unconditional Love" is just wrong! If God loves us all unconditionally, then Hell would be empty! Unconditionally means...No matter what I say, No matter what I think, No matter what I do, and time is not a factor, God will always Love me. Yet Baptist preachers (maybe all) will be the first to tell you, if your not one of us, you are destined for Hell! And I don't know too many preachers who would be stupid enough to say God love those who are burning in Hell. So if Gods love is not unconditional, and He has and is the greatest Love of all, can we say we love more and better than Him? I think not because I know of no one who has been in a relationship all their lives that was abusive, and after a time (one of the conditions) didn't leave.

No. Everyone has their limits on earth. You could marry the perfect guy and at first, everything could go great. But if he starts beating you and cheating on you, you're going to leave! Only God's love can be unconditional.

Yes,,it can be but don't confuse the with acceptance, to love a person does not mean you accept everything they do. Such a parent child relationship's. Between lovers this is very rare, but it is possible to love someone and refuse to let a relationship continue between those people..

I have to smile while reading the answers some are pretty funny.
I would like to say that just because you leave someone does that mean you stopped loving them? To love isn't tied to being together with someone. Unconditionnal love doesn't mean I'll never leave you.. it means I'll always love you.
To love unconditionally simply means you love someone with all their faults, quirks, qualities... yes... but it doesn't mean that you will put up with everything.
It's hard to love unconditionally because you have to recognize the flaws in another person as part of them.
You can love your children unconditionally and still punish them as needed, and in a worse case scenario you have to love them enough to put them in let's say rehab.
You can love your friends unconditionally and still turn on them if they do something wrong.
When you love you have to love enough to be strong for the other person when they are weak. You have to love enough to see the other person's needs before your feelings of selfishness "but if I do this or that, they'll never speak to me again"... When you love someone what is best for them, what will help them, should be the guiding force of your actions.
I could go on and on about this topic :) but i won't
Best of luck

love is supposed to be unconditional, but it is difficult in our modern times becuase it is hard to trust most partners. only the love of Christ is unconditional, His death on the cross was the reason for our hope.

Yes. This is our spiritual aim.
If we are unable to love everyone and everything unconditionally, as is the situation with almost all of us, then we can analyse why, and discover a little more about ourselves.

Unconditional what? Love is predicated on attributes - wealth, looks, sex, education, prowess, bla bla bla. The moment any of these attributes fades, sorry love fades.

At the end of the day I think there are always things which prove this to be flawed in some way. Nice thought but in reality is rare.
