Or is it all phyco-anilized down to love addictions,co-dependency and various other ailments ,Doesn't anybody believe in sticking by someone with your whole heart and good intentions,trusting,and giving or has it all become something you think your should tear apart and analize?Don't you think the best relationships would be called co-depentent,why do shrinks make it so wrong to love,Have we all lost trust and faith in the most natural gift God gave,Do you think Adam and Eve had to think about it ,analize it ,or did they just go with the flow......since the shrink got involved,look at the devorce rate,What do you think..?

Sometimes, believing in love ends up being job security for psychiatrists/psychologists..Sometimes..analytical deductive reasoning is ones only defense against heartbreak and emotional trauma. Yet other times...sticking together like boogers is what saves individuals from depression. not that being a booger would make you feel better..but being a snot certainly won't either. Adam lost a rib...Eve gained life.....True Love was born...But These days...True love could mean slowing down to let a deer cross the road. True love could mean allowing the one you love to simply move on to save them the grief of experiencing the turmoil of the life you live. Or..quite frankly..it could mean..."Shaddap Alice..Pow! One a' deze days Alice...STRAIGHT TO DA MOON!"
is truth, and total devotion to the cause of another...true love is stunning, numbing, and, sometimes, Parylizing and Frightful. True Love endures...True love lasts forever, even if relationships wither and deteriorate into swear words and resentment. Whew...good question.

Yeah, I believed it. I bought the whole thing, hook, line, and sinker.
I believed it til I got sick and the person I believed in walked out the door because he said he couldn't deal with it.
That's right, he's gone. I guess he thought I could deal with it better on my own. Or perhaps he thought it would just be easier to love someone else. I don't know how he justified it to himself. This is a 15 year relationship I'm talking about by the way.
I haven't lost my faith in God, but I have a lot of reservations about love, and commitment.

i believe in love, i don't analyze it. i've been in a truly loving relationship with my man for the last 5-6 years. and people can throw stones, say what if he doesn't love YOU that much, or what if you meet someone else and leave him. but here's the thing. i know what i am feeling RIGHT NOW and that is all that is important to me. i can't worry about "what if's" because it is those very same "what if's" that would erode my love. and i so enjoy this stability in my life...
as for adam and eve, i don't think they count, since they had no choice.

with all the pressures of society today, it's no wonder so few believe in love anymore. It's getting much harder to find that's for sure. If you ever do, then you need to work like hell to keep it going. Too many people wanting too much for themselves and not enough for others. I believe it's out there. But you have to want it with your whole heart.

its not that people don't believe in love, they are just realistic.
finding love is hard, always has been. even couples who were married for years and years stayed together to avoid social stigma, not for love.
people try and prepare for what happens when a relationship ends. can the two people countinue to live alone?
or if one of them dies, will the other be able to pull his/her self together?
co-dependency is never healthy. there are many ways love can go sour and relationships can be dismantled. people need to be able to transition and go on with their lives.

Oh I still believe in love, all kinds of love not just that between spouses or partners. I do believe that there are people who don't cheat or lie or desert their spouses or beat them and stay together for many many decades.
I also believe that there can be love between siblings rather than rivalry that seems to actually worsen when parents die.
I think there 's also love for mankind and animals and fish and birds and plants and oceans etc.
Love still exists , you just have to be open to it.

I believe in LOVE.
But it needs to be a part of a total relationship with these strengths in place:
compassion, tollerance, courage, understanding, patience, faith, hope, wisdom, and forgiveness.
When we put all these commandments to work in our lives, love has a chance.

I hate to say it, but unconditional love is just a childish fairy tale. I reality, we are all in relationships for what we can get, whether that be something material like money or something immaterial like companionship to keep us from being lonely.

I believe in love. People today in general, over analyze everything.
