I think love is misrepresented by Hollywood media. It's not just about physical attraction, but, like previously said here, it is about friendship, similar goals, loyalty and commitment. So many people today have this unrealistic ideal of the perfect relationship. Then, when one partner falls short of these expectations, disappointment sets in. People are just not willing to compromise and sacrifice for the person they love. Many people enter a relationship thinking that they can change their partner into what they want them to be. This in turn creates resentment when people start to feel rejected and inadequate because of their partner desire to change who they are. if people accepted each other just as they are and practice more tolerance then, perhaps, we would see more successful relationships... just a little humble contribution to this discussion...
