We all do well in our lives with a good health dose of lust, but in truth, love can definitely survive without lust. If you think you have love, but it dies with the end of lust, it wasn't love to begin with. It was just lust. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but take it for what it truly is.
Love survives lust, or else it was never really love.
Blessings,

The line between love and infatuation.. that ones easy, Infatuation is knowing you can't live without the other person. Love is knowing you can, but you don't want to. Love that is felt by both parties in a relationship can survive conflict. The problem arises when one or both ppl start to feel less than the other. Conflict is sadly a part of life. There will always be the sweet moments where you share a first kiss by a lake, or a magickal night on a mountain top to draw on when you have these days. If you can step back and realize that while things aren't at their best for the moment that your partner DOES love you and that they always will, you'll be fine.

I believe that Love can survive without lust. I've been married for 11 years now and I don't see lust making any difference about the love that I felt. I guess lust just complicates the true meaning of Love. Lust actually deprives the other of Love, in the sense that selfishness over ruled the reason on why you are in-love in the first place. I don't see my sexual activities with my wife as lust. I call it passionate-Love-making.

Notice all the couples celebrating their 50th anniversaries. I truly doubt there's a lot of lust left in those. Yes, I believe love can survive without lust.

I'm sure it can. I hardly think my grandparents still lusted after each other when they were in their late 80's, but they sure loved each other the day my grandpa died when he was 88.
I also believe lust can exist without love. One night stands are a case in point.

According to me, Love can not survive without Lust, because Lust is the only factor which forces us to fall in Love.
Love without Lust is like a person running a race without knowing where to end. (So no one wants to run without aim!)
Lust sets goals or aims in the way of Love.

Perhaps with age the lust thing dies down in some, but by that time love should be strong enough to endure.

this si a great question and though I think yes it can I like to know it cant... meaning you have the older couples that have the undieing love for each other and believe in LOOKING at them they cant possible have lust, but there must be something there, as I see my turd of a husband being like i say a TURD but I have lust for him even though! get it?

Lots of old and infirm people out there who can't lust anymore but they still feel love. I love my dogs and my children but I don't feel lust for them... Get your minds out of the gutter, fellas.
More importantly, what happens if you love someone but then fall in lust with someone else?

Yes and Yes
First YES there are many kinds of loves, and some do not involve lust.
And YES when you have a sexual partner, you can refrain from sex, temporarily or permanently, for any of a number of reasons ...
Examples: business, trips, prison, forced absence, work schedules, illness, paralysis, pregnancy, sexual dysfunction. loss of libido, heart attack, abstinence to wait for marriage or the "rhythm method" of birth control.
... withOUT losing your seXual LOVE for each other, and your romantic fervour!
The best love, AGAPE, is non sexual, but lust combines with it nicely, within marriage.
