Is love enough to keep a relationship?

Answer 1

Without some background, it's hard to answer this one. But in general, no it's not. To keep a good strong relationship going, one needs more than just love alone. Love carries a lot of weight, but you still need to face other issues and work hard to maintain it to have that euphoric feeling in a healthy relationship. You have to dedicate yourself in making it happy for the both of you. You have to make sacrifices to please the other person as well as your partner needs to please you in return. A relationship is always ALWAYS a shared effort. Both of you needs to work at it or it cannot sustain itself for long. If you are getting bored or burned out from a lopsided effort (mainly you), then talk to your partner and see what the problems are. You may still be in love but just bummed for your partner not putting in the same effort to you. Worse case scenario would be is that you are falling out of love with your partner. But before reaching that stage, figure out what is wrong and resolve it before taking drastic measures.

...in my experience...the answer would be no! You need allot more then just love these days to keep some relationships moving forward. There's allot of ill minded people walking around these days. Love means something different to every individual that walks the planet anyways. Try figuring out all of that kinda love. My most recent last ex girlfriend says she loved me to death,...(and she almost did) but I simply didn't have enough money to satisfy all her anxiety driven shopping excursions. Huh?...money over love? You betcha kids! # 1 priority for some lazy panicked people,...that's for sure. She said I had to get along with her two special needs kids too. Yikes! I got along just fine with them. It was there mom I didn't get along with. The sex and other life stuff was all great...but for her own strange reasons, for her it all boiled down to the money issues. (how sad really) I'm glad she's off my personal credit list permanently. I'd still do the old bump and grind up against the wall with her sometime though...if only she'd let me. Hee-hee!

Answer 3

Wow sometimes yes and sometimes no.Love can keep you together for awhile but most likely it will run out in the long run.You see you let things go when you are in love with someone but a human being can only take so much.

Answer 4

No!

You need trust, friendship, the ability to talk openly with each other, respect, honor, kindness, forgiveness, etc.

You do need love..but most of the time that exciting love that you feel turns into something richer and deeper overtime. Like wine it gets better with age.

Answer 5

Love is always good enough..as long as you guys love each other..it might also help to have SOME stuff in common..but love will always hold you guys together.

Answer 6

Not just love ....trust and honesty, you can't love a person if you don't trust them or if your aren't honest, getting along and being there for each other is very important, not with soemone who's going to try to control your life and have it their way, fairness and being true with out having to lie, if you have to hide the fact that you went to a party with a guy friend that knows your dating the guy, and you know if you tell your bf ot gf their ganna get mad that's just annoying, they have to trust you. Don't let go of your frinds beacause of your guys jealousy.

Answer 7

"No" its the whole thing of a relationship and if you dont have the whole thing then "love" will walk right out the door. I hope you understand what I mean.

Answer 8

no, just because you love someone doesn't mean you two should be together. and a lot of people don't know what love is.
if someone is beating you, its not right to stay because you love that person, or because you think that person loves you.

Answer 9

No - you need to have common interests, friendship and respect for each other.

Answer 10

Nope. There needs to be much more.
