I don't think real love exists in this world because even the most perfect marriages can die out. The only real love exists in heaven, and I feel like even though I try hard, I'll never find a true soulmate or someone my heart will belong to forever. I know I'm young and I probably have the rest of my life to figure this out but please, let me know if YOU think that true love on earth exists and tell me a moment in your life that proves it. Thanks to all the ppl who will answer, and God bless

It's sure natural to doubt it. People confuse a lot of things with love, I think, which explains why so many marriages end (some people can't tell infatuation from love, for example, or lust from love. I've known people to get married because they wanted to have a wedding, and for a million reasons that have nothing to do with why a relationship lasts).
Does love exist? Absolutely, yes! I see examples of it every day, all kinds of love (stick with me here - it's all related). We have a dog who assigned herself to care for me after I had surgery - she was the only one with the patience to stay by my side 24/7 while I recuperated. She even slept with her head on my chest. When I held my breath (meditating), she woke up immediately, sat over me sniffing my face, and jangled her tags until I opened my eyes and took a breath. She didn't chew a bone, or play - just ran out, ate, ran outside to relieve herself, then right back by my side, day in, day out.
My friend takes in anyone who seems to need a safe refuge. Some people have proven worth her trust, some not, but she continues to make herself open and available to people, giving each person a chance to choose to be worth her trust.
My husband is also (I know, sounds corny) my best friend. We were friends before we got involved romantically. I've watched this guy carry my mother, who had cancer, to the car to go to the hospital, take my Dad, who was having trouble dealing with her illness, on walks to calm him down, even though Dad hadn't been good to any of us. People depend on my husband and want him around because he makes them feel safe and appreciated.
All of this is love. The world is absolutely full of love - it's just that we often focus on where love isn't. Filling your life with love of various kinds - friends, family, pets, your community - makes you a person other people are attracted to, because it helps make you joyful.
Now, I have to admit, when I met my husband, he wasn't considered a "catch." He had a low-paying job, wore high-water pants, and his social skills were rusty (he had been abandoned as a teen).
I wasn't much of a catch, either. Oh, I dressed better, but I was confused, scared, and scarred inside.
We were interested in some of the same things and became friends. We talked for hours at a time. It took us several years to realize we were in love, although other people in our lives knew it. We realized there was always one person we wanted to be with, one person we wanted to share things with, tell things to.
We've been married almost 25 years. Is it perfect? No - because we're not. It's great, though. We've learned and grown together, built a business together, and underneath it all, our friendship is the backbone of our marriage. Romance is lovely, but it comes and goes (it's hard to feel romantic when you have food poisoning, for example). Even on the days when we're fussy, or tired, or grumpy, we're still friends. We work at the friendship and feel the person you're married to deserves your very best.
We've been through a lot together, lost people we love, changed jobs, endured serious illness, made new friends, tried new things. Nobody new could compete with all of that.
Right now, it feels as though you'll never find love, but "never" is one of those words that's so absolute it doesn't mean much. It might happen tomorrow, or years from now. In the meantime, do things you enjoy, live the best life you can figure out for yourself. When you meet someone, you'll have a life he'll want to be part of, and meantime, you'll be enjoying your life.
Good luck!

Yes, Love does indeed exhist in this world, We are told to Love as God loves us, so if we do this, then the Love we show is the Love that all in this world will ever see, because
God is Love, and without God there is No Love. You kling to this truth, and I asure you that God will bring someone to you who will truly reciprocate this love. Praying for you.

Sure does :-D
Well I don't know for sure, but there are so many people that love you, and there so many forms of "true love" that it's hard to just give one specific answer.
Good luck! ;-)

Love does not give up. Love does not feel anger. Love does not hate.
