yes absolutely believe in true love. it's not hard to love someone truly. sadly, we are living in a world that has a distorted view about love and it's meaning. we can see the level of distortions in the increasing divorce rates day by day.
it breaks my heart when i see people break up or when a family ends up in a divorce after beginning the journey in the name of love. whatever, i want to fall in love with the same person each day over and over again. i wish to grow old with the one i am madly in love in spite of the ups and downs that i will experience in a relationship. true love, i believe, keeps that other person above all at any cost.

My definition of true love. Is when two people are inexplicably drawn to one another on many levels. The first would be sight. Butterfly's are flickering on both sides.
Need , they love being together. When apart feel incomplete and even lonely. At first sight of each other are like children on Christmas morning.
Mental, not only thinking alike but able to finish each others sentences.
Flaws, unable to see the flaws in each other.
This is the kind of love we want to have. How sad when it is only on one side.
Yes I certainly believe in this illusive love.

I think that different people have different ideas about what True Love is and I think that that causes a lot of confusion. I think that what the Apostle Paul describes as love in 1st Corinthians, Chap. 13, is what true love is.
As you may know, the ancient Greeks identified 3 or 4 different types of love and that 3 of them are mentioned in the Bible. One of them is, felios, or filial love; the love that a person has for a close family member. Another is eros, or erotic love.
I think that the great majority of teens and people in their early 20's think that erotic love is the only love there is. I believe that erotic love is the love they are talking about when they talk about "falling in love" or out of love. They look for "true love" but don't know what they are looking for.
I believe that the type of love that the greeks called, "agape", is what people want when they talk about true love. Agape love is what Paul is talking about in 1st Corinthians 13. To always want the best for the other person, a commitment to be there for the other person for the rest of their life.
The older Christian marriage vows includes to love and honor the other person in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer; until death we do part. That was a promise before God to love the other person with true love.
In order to make that type of commitment to another person, a certain amount of "character" is necessary. What I mean by character includes, honesty, loyalty, integrety,and a commitment and value to know and speak the truth.
If a person wants to find true love then they must look for those qualities and the qualities that Paul lists in 1st Corinthians. I don't know that anyone achieves what Paul describes, perfectly; but they must have then for an ideal and must try to achieve that.
The other thing a person must do to find true love, is to try to develop those positive qualities in their own character. Why would someone who has those qualities be interested/attracted to me? There is an old saying. To have a happy marriage (find true love), that you must choose the right person and that you must BE the right person.
Does "true love" exist? Sure it does.

I like to think I use to. Now though I'm not sure at all. I have been in relationships with great women I started off being really into and eventually I would just lost all interest in being in the relationship with them. Now I'm starting to feel that maybe I'm just not the type to fall into relationships with others. I don't seem to stay interested at all. These aren't long relationship either they go as long as 6 months maybe.

There's only one type of love that's true, and that's God's love. God's love is unconditional and pure. If both individuals allow God's love to be manifested through them, then no doubt that's true love. So yes I do believe in true love when only when God is in the mix.

True love is rare, although, I do think it exists.
Ha. I'm in it right now.
So many people give in to lust and only like eachother because of their physical appearance that you never really know what love is real.
The only problem is that when true love REALLY happens things always get in the way...Thats just my thoughts, anyway.
