What do YOU think love is?

Question

How would you explain love? Have you ever been in love? Can you explain what conflicts you went though? Were they perfect or can someone that pisses you off beyond believe but still make you really happy be your love? Should RACE, AGE, GENDER, or ETHNICITY/RACE be of concern? What if you family makes a big deal of it? What did/would you do? Please, give as much detail on how you think you should answer this! (None of these really pertain to me I just want to know your opinions on love.)

Answer 1

love is a feelin that is shared that is as strong as steel yet as fragile as glass. noone knows what love is your told what its supposed to be but its different to everyone .

Answer 2

Well to start off in answering your question I define love as caring for someone so much that when you are away you miss them tremendously and when you are together you are never bored. Even if you are just sitting on the couch with nothing to watch on t.v. just being there with them keeps you from being bored. When my husband and I met 7 years ago I was 16 and he was 19 and my father hated the age difference and forbid me to see him. Well it didn't happen, we snuck around for a year and then once I turned 17 we moved out of state into our first place. We didn't listen to our families because there are many times in which families can cause problems for you. You really do have to follow your heart no matter the race, age, gender or religious differences. Obviously, I didn't listen to my family and now 7 years later we are still together with three kids and my family had accepted our relationship a couple of years after I moved out. Basically, all that families want is the best for you and don't want to see you get hurt, but sometimes it is wise to follow your dreams because love is a risk that you have to be willing to take. And with every relationship there are arguments and this doesn't mean you don't love the person any less. There has to be give and take in all relationships and everyone has to come to agreements on each matter.

Love is blind, stupid, stubborn, patient, kind, infuriating, elating, and does not discriminate. My bf can piss me off more than anyone I've ever met, but to quote a sappy movie, I'd rather fight with him than make love to anyone else. And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Being able to stand in the midst of the worst of times, and still know that you wouldn't want it any other way.True love doesn't care whether your family agrees with it, and it doesn't give in to the pressures of society. It knows no gender. Love is about the soul of a person, not the look of them. It's about knowing that at any given moment, you have someone that would do anything within their means to make you happy, and vice versa. It's about screaming and fighting, but then forgiving everything and getting stronger from each experience. The best possible way to explain it, Love simply is

Answer 4

RACE, Colour or religious beliefs will ever be stronger that the bind that love brings to a person. LOVE binds us, bonds us, makes us happy and makes us sad. But you can never take love. Love is given freely of ones self to another. Love grows with every day that passes. Love is deep with in ones very sole. It is then and only then when you really know that someone really loves you and you alone.

Answer 5

There is Love, the noun, which is an emotion; but there is also Love, the verb, which is the action taken that is motivated by the emotion.

True love is SO hard to find, so we should not feel restricted by familial or societal pressures to limit our options to a specific age/ethnic/gender. What matters is if there is mutual attraction and respect that can serve as the foundation for building a lasting loving relationship.

Sometimes we have to choose between what is best for us and what is best for someone we love. Sometimes the best thing to do for someone we love is to let them free to be themselves and make their own mistakes.

My ex-husband was 7 years older than I, and was an alcoholic. Although I loved him very much and did everything I could to encourage him to quit, the situation became detrimental to me and our son (4 at the time). I had to choose to put our son and myself before my husband's needs. I told him to leave and maybe we could reconcile if he got help. He left, but refused to go to therapy or meetings, and even tried to overdose. This forced me to take away his visitation rights for my son's safety until he went through rehab. Still, he refused. His liver finally failed and he died when he was 39 and our son was 7.

A couple years later, I met a very sweet man who was 6 years younger and a different race than I. Like myself (and my ex-husband before him), he had been abused in childhood. As a result, he was insecure and shy, which led to him being very jealous and controlling in the relationship, as well as holding him back in succeeding in a career. Again, I spent several years giving him love and support, but he never could believe it was true because he did not feel he was worthy. When I saw that the situation was again becoming detrimental to my son and myself, I again had to end it.

I loved both of these men very deeply (and still do). I chose to act on that love and to give everything I had to give mentally, emotionally, financially and physically until I could give no more. Once I realized that each of them actually didn't love themselves and therefore was incapable of receiving love from me, I had to choose to move on in order to preserve my own well-being as well as my son's.

So I have learned the hard way that we really must first love ourselves before we can truly love another and have success in a relationship. So I have been spending the last year working on myself and my son. He is about to turn 16 and is in a relationship for 4 months now. I have done everything I can to show my love for him by being actively involved in his life, but also by allowing him to take increasing responsibility of his actions as he's grown older, and to deal with the consequences when he's made bad choices. It has been hard under the circumstances, and I've made mistakes along the way, but my love for him is the strongest, and I absolutely have made a commitment to end the legacy of low self-esteem that has hindered myself and my exes.

Answer 6

how i see it is that everyone knows wat love is from birth i mean once ur born u already love ur mom and dad and then u love ur brothers and sisters and everyone else in ur family so once u care for someone as if they were ur own family then thats when u love them but it is sometimes ard to divide love from an infatuation but race does not matter and if family members care then they will just have to deal its not right for someone to get in the way of u and who u care about age may matter becuz if u have a young gil and an older guy goin out then thats like rape but ne other like 3 years or something like that until the youngest is like 18 then it dont really matter unless hes 40 or somehting lol but thats just wat i think
