you think love is about two people making a commitment to be together and then sticking with it? I mean, do people just DECIDE or be in love with the same person?

The odds of meeting the perfect mate are very small. We all have preconceived ideas of exactly what we want, but as we grow older we realize that our fantasy person may not exist.
So, we start to make concessions as to what aspects are most important to us. The degree that one percieves their self worth will usually determine how successful we are in the relationship.
I think mutual respect is a must. Without it, no relationship will work. Finding a nice balance of things in common and things that are dis-similar is not easy but it makes for a much more interesting relationship. Common principles and morals are a necessity. A physical chemistry helps.
There are many forms of love, but the reason story book love is call "story book" love is because that is usually the only place you will find it.
I was fortunate to have found a man with whom I had just that kind of love. He passed away almost seven years ago. But I have fifteen wonderful years worth of memories. Something most people will never know. But I have met a really good man who I have been with for two years now, he is great with my children, he is intelligent, patient, understanding, a wonderful lover, and ambitious. I am fortunate to have found another special man to share my life with.
But, I am realistic. Any relationship will only be as good as the sum of both parts. It is something that has to be worked at constantly. When you want to say something ugly, think of all the good points of the person. Don't go into a relationship with someone you want to change. People don't change, at least, not at the core level. Most women spend more time debating the correct outfit to wear to a party than they do on who they are going to spend their life with. We just fall into a relationship somehow, and three years later we wonder what happened.
I guess there is no easy answer to your question. There have been some very successful arranged marriages where the two people had not even met before being wed. So, just what is "true love"?

Yes there is true love i don't think two people who are not in love can say hey we will love each other because when true love does come there will be a problem there you will not have to ask this question when you are truly in love yes commitment is part of marriage but i would not get married if it was not true love your soul mate

I would say a little of both the romance garbage on TV is just that a though for entertainment, First you fall in love and get wooed then you get married and real life kicks in ,it's at that point your prince charming and snow white relationship takes on a whole new role as that of partners having each others back through thick and thin. So love is not all hearts and flowers it can be gray and cloudy just being the umbrella to shelter one another.

I used to think - yeah love was a commitment and staying together.
Life is so unpredictable though. You never know.
But imagine someone you love so much(doesnt have to be bf/gf) LIke you mom, or sister. You love them so much unconditionally. No matter what they do - you will always love them and you are friends and close. Thats what I think love is.
You just dont decide, it grows on you. When youa re around that person (relationship) love grows stronger and stronger. Yeah you have bad times too , but you build together.

The comitment comes once people find their true love. There is such a thing as true love I have found my one true love and even though we are not together now. I know that we will be again because it is meant to be and there is a comitment that we each made.

yes, love is about two people making a commitment to one another and then sticking with it. i don't believe in soul mates though. i think people are so wrapped up in the the idea of finding their soul mate that they are willing to overlook peoples faults just to find them.

yes there is! and it should always be our very reason for marrying someone or for deciding to be with someone forever. So no matter whats the ups and downs in a relationship you will always have this chaance for reconcillation.
