Some love does I think, because they didn't actually hurt each other to the point of no return. Circumstances beyond their control tore them apart & then they could never get the timing right again so they really have no reason to stop loving each other & no chance of getting together again. Love means you try not to do anything to hurt the other person, you try to do everything you can to make the other person happy, but not if it makes you unhappy. Everyone has to compromise in relationships, if you don't bend you break up.You have to communicate all your feelings in a way that you don't hurt the other person, but you have to communicate. When people don't care if they hurt the other person & do things to intentionally hurt the other person they kill the love that person has for them.Love is a feeling & it can be killed by the person you love. If you love someone try to treat them as good as you can, & if they don't do the same for you explain to them how this makes you feel & try to understand when they explain their reasons for what they do, everybody has a past that determines how they deal with things in the present. Some people have no idea they are doing things to hurt you unless you tell them. Instead of saying don't do this & don't do that explain how what they do makes you feel & ask them why they feel the need to do the things they do, & maybe they can explain it in such a way that you understand their thinking better & maybe you can explain your views in a way that makes them stop doing the things they do to hurt you.

I know it lasts forever when I look at my grandparents; they've been married, as of next month, sixty-two years. And, their marriage isn't just a couple living together like roommates. Every Wednesday night, as he promised, my grandfather writes my grandmother a letter telling her how much he loves her; he hasn't missed a single week in 62 years!
After reading these letters, I figured out how they maintained a truly loving relationship where other couples had just settled into a contract, so to speak; they found even the smallest reason to fall in love all over again.
As a kid, it was embarassing to see my grandparents tickle each other and kiss; now as an adult I appreciate it so much more. The key to a long life together is communicating, not just what you communicate, but how you do it. The sad part is, though, is that we all know that when one of them passes away, the other will go soon after since they couldn't live without one another. :)

The answer is not about a time limit, but about the definition of love. True Love, not the feelings, but the actions of Trust, Kindness, Careing, Sharing, Giving not getting, Helping, and responsibility, are some of the qualities that allow love to last a lifetime.
I met a couple this weekend who are happily married 49 years and still in love, complete with the feelings. The thing is when the honeymoon phase is over the work begins, are you both willing to work at the relationship to make the choice to be happy together, or will you choose to give up and seek another honeymoon with the next one, repeating a never ending cycle of failure. Lifetime Love is about forgiveness, acceptance, giving, being together, being friends, seeking happiness together, creating happiness for each other.
Happiness is a choice, and in a world of media fed chaos how to interact with others in a happy and healthy way is sadly being lost. Be willing to learn, seek councelling, speak with old folks who are married many years, ask them how they kept the spark going. If you both want longevity and are willing to work for it, you can be happy alot of the time. This is where real life comes in and you deal with it. As life deals you what it does you will learn to adapt and overcome situations together and find happiness again and again.
Forever, that's God's department .
For a lifetime, Lots of people do, and my wife and I intend to as well.

Okay I don't know if love lasts forever bacause i cannot predict the future all i can do is tell you a few quotes that pertain to the subject that might explain my thinking better.
I will never look at anyone the way I look at u.
Imagine a piece of cloth stuck on a thorn, and as you pull it to get it off it rips... Imagine me like that loving you and trying to let go of you....
You will forever remain my happy thought, without you, I couldn't fly**
The only reason we are scared of love is because we fear rejection.
ALL OF THOSE FAIRY TALES ARE WRONG!!!
NONE OF THEM HAD A HAPPY ENDING!!!
…BECAUSE TRUE LOVE DOESN`T HAVE AN ENDING
When a heart is true there's no need for words because even in silence, love can be heard, destiny determines who comes into our lives but its the heart that decides who stays inside.
Time is not the great healer.
You just learn to live with the pain.
Sometimes u have to let go to see
if there is anything worth hanging
onto
"You may not have heard me speak to you that I love you,
but the way that I look into your eyes, the way I smile when you pass by,
and the way that my heart feels when you are near...
all speaks of what best describes the love that I feel."
I don't think you ever stop loving somone, but people change and sometimes people fall out of love with who the people they initially fell in love with from the start...but you never forget the person they were when you first fell in love therefore i think it is never ending...just my opinion.

Love is a feeling which you automatically generate in your heart for someone whom you love. You do not fall in love by your intention. It is the attraction of heart when you feel love for some girl. As you asked that wether love can last forever, I say "Yes". If you really love someone from the depth of your heart, it will last forever. You will get married and will form a family and you will continue to love each other. The other pictures of love as stated by you are the outcome of transitory love. You love girl. Enjoy her company for sometime and then leave her for other girl. This is no love. I do not call this "Love" . It is satsifaction of your instinct and nothing else. True love is the love which emerge in your heart due to attraction and your and she become most intimate friends I am therefore inclined to say that no true love is limited. It has its unlimited boundries and time.

Love is forever.Being in love is not forever. There are those lucky few the can say they have been together a very long time. It sounds better when they say they have been in love for along time.People would rather make there relationship look good when it can be just the opposite.Honestly , forever stops when you die. No one who loves knows when it will stop you or the one you love. So be happy with the love you share.

I have been married 8yrs now and still in love with my husband. There have been times that I thought I never want to see him again but when push comes to shove I couldn't even begin to face my life without him. So I do believe that love can last forever

I can truly say that mine will last forever.
We met in the 7th grade, we got together when we were 17. We're now 27 and we nearly never fight. When we do, it always ends in a compromise, which is what I think most people don't understand. You have to give a little sometimes in order to get a little.
It can't always be your way when someone else, with entirely different thoughts and feelings, is involved.
Just my .02, hope this helps!

Too many people confuse lust for love. When you finally learn the difference, it makes things easier. As one responder pointed out, it's a give-and-take world. If you're not capable of that, you'll never find love, only followers. And you'll never be happy.

Of course. Thats why you have to be very careful who you choose to marry. You could end up marrying someone who was just a fling. If you marry the right person, you should have no problem marrying them. They both just have to work at it is all. They have to be careful not to let things get monotonous, dull, predictable, etc.
Keep it as if you were still dating. It's all paradigm.
