Do you know people who really love love love each other and stay together no matter what?

Do they stick to each other and do everything together everyday?

Do you believe in real love?

I know many people who've been married for a long time including my sister. However, that bit about sticking to each other and doing everything together every day is unhealthy, unwise, and down right creepy.

I know I'm young but I think true love is about sticking with each other through good times and bad, patting the other person know if there is something wrong so that they as a couple can fix it togher. Also just being there for him/her and trusting each other to do the right thing is also a very good definition of true love. Also no secrets.

Love manifests itself in many ways....




THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WE CAN MAKE IS ''DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO

ONTO US''.....WE NEED TO LEARN WHAT THEY NEED, SO WE CAN GET WHAT WE

NEED.....LIKE THE DIFFERENT WAYS MEN LOVE AND THE WAYS WOMEN LOVE.....''THEY ARE

NOT THE SAME''.....FOR INSTANCE WOMEN NEED TO BE CHERISHED, MEN NEED TO BE

APPRECIATED......EACH NEEDS TO KNOW THEY CAN WIN WITH THE OTHER.......smile2

Real love means different things to different people. Doing everything together has not been my idea of real love! I don't think anyone can answer that question about anyone other than themselves, and what their experiences have been.

It might be more useful (though less romantic sounding) to talk about it all as lifestyle choices, or even more accurately, as life philosophy.

I'm thinking here, specifically about people who get together and dedicate themselves to building a life with the other person, as opposed to the "real love" people who think of love as a form of personal comfort and entertainment.

I don't at all mean to put the latter kind of people down, though I'm sure that it might seem that way. Rather, I am trying to get at why two different people can experience the same life, and one will say they lived true love, and the other will bitterly complain that they never found it.

real love would look like a woman and a man holding hands and kissing in their deathbeds or a man and a woman feeding each other till they are old and gray :heart:

What does real love look like?

It looks like everyday, everywhere and everywhen.

Love is not something you find on a store shelf. It is something that comes from within you. It is not one emotion or another, not a certain feeling and not a fixed expression.

It saturates everything about you. Only you are the one can feel it. Others experience love too. If you are lucky enough to find someone else that feels that for you as much as you feel it for them, you have something special.

Have a look at a couple of swans. They pair for life.

Seeing them together always says so much.

I have always believed that love is intangible. It's not something you see but rather something you feel :heart:

Hey OP ...

Love is a new structure in the Human Psyche ... it is only about 7000 years old.

I think it is an abreaction to the industrialization of alcohol at about 9000 years ago.

There is no mention of love in the history past 7000 years ago and it seems that women were property in the King Bull / Harrum dynamic of animals where there is the King breeder Monkey, Bull, Wolf .. etc .. and has sex with all the breeding females around.

This what was done in China as they have the oldest literature or written record apparently. The Emperor of China owned everything in the land, water rights, bees, leaves, coal, people, animals etc ... and the Emperor gave out what he wanted to whomever.

He gave out women from his Harum as a reward or payment for services as an example and gave permission for them to make babies. Had nothing to do with love. Even TODAY in the kingdom/slave states they have arraigned marriages. The woman marries for money and who the family picks ... nothing about love is involved.

In the free states ... there are no arraigned marriages and we say ... go marry who you love and love who you want.

About 7000 years ago ... love springs forward in the human consciousness ... and people started hooking up with the person they loved. Damm it all to the Emperor and they would run off knowing they would be hunted down and killed the next day .. just to have one day of love and being loved. Then a whole life of misery and baby making with that Emperor guy.

So WHAT IS LOVE ... that is a deeper story about your mom and dad.

Why the Psyche came up with love is more straightforward as it has to do with healing and making the broken heart and the broken mind and the broken families whole.

That is why you love .. him ... who is a piece of **** for a human being like Dennis Hastert that rapes children, his own and the neighbors. His wife .. loves him ... cause he is exactly like her daddy.

The Defense Structure is making her fall in love and hook up with a sick puppy to discover what her daddy did to kids and to her .. since she is fragmented, dysfunctional and has relationship problems.

The purpose for this is so that she can die fearlessly and a fully conscious adventuresome mindset.

All secrets are done out of fear and buried under the shifting sands of deception.

If you understand this stuff .. then it is gonna ruin your romantic ideas of love.

As all love does ... is heal.

Prior to love everyone run away from pain and suppressed their emotions.

Love is the first thing the human psyche has made that is an attraction, a desire, a goal to seek .. so that the love takes you through the pain into happiness and freedom.

For if you hate your mom ... you are going to be an addict and will remain an addict until the love comes in and heals up the resentment and bitterness.

Likewise if you hate your dad ... you are going to have divorces, affairs and dead children for a future until the love comes in and heals up the resentment and bitterness.

Sorry for the hard news.

maybe like this

The couple's daughter, 57-year-old Sheryl Winstead, told ABC News today that her father was admitted to the hospital earlier this month, and her mother unexpectedly suffered an aneurysm while visiting him.

After doctors determined that Dolores's "quality of life" would be impacted if she was kept intubated, Winstead said she and her brother decided to "let her go naturally."

What does real love looks like?

It has wrinkles, gray hair (or no hair), and age spots that you don't notice.

Sometimes you do see older couples together that are still clearly in love.
Doesn't happen all that often.

Also, I think it's a BIG mistake to think that real love means you stay together till 'death do you part'.
Real love can also fade away. If you split up, it doesn't mean you never really loved one another. It just means you grew apart.

Like Waterloo said, it has nothing to do with doing everything together. If nothing else, that kills love. You need space in a relationship and a bit of contrast to keep things alive and kicking.
Contrast means you do not do everything together, have some different interests and sometimes don't agree on everything.
That allows for both to grow, expand, and keeps things from going stale.
