What is Love to you.


Recommended Posts

Do you think that your SO should be so engaging etc towards you and vice versa. That being together is all about the almighty love. Sex and kissing etc should always be a mind blowing level. Or do you think there is too much hype with love.

 

Love to me in a romantic context, is someone that is into me, beyond sex and romance. They have my back and they care about my well being as I do about them.

 

It would be like having a great opposite sex friendship, but you can have sex/romance in there as well.

 

What do you all think?

In my opinion, sex is an absolute must in a relationship. It doesn’t have to be mind-blowing every time, but there should be motivation to make it an enjoyable experience for the person you love. The only thing that separates your SO from every other relationship is sexual intimacy. The reason I suggest that is because you can share feelings with your best friends, rent a home with a roommate, go on fun dinner/bar dates with co-workers, and share your hopes and dreams with your family. The only thing that separates your SO from anyone else is the act of sex. So in my mind, sex is a must as it defines the SO’s role and importance/value in your life. Being best friends with your SO is a wonderful achievement, but in my mind any other person can fill that role, sex is what defines and separates your SO from every other relationship. It is also my opinion that when you love someone romantically you would want to connect physically as well in order to feel close; some people don’t feel this way, but physical intimacy, in my opinion, helps to secure and maintain that romantic bond.

love to me is about giving.....its about thinking about your partner as much as you think about yourself its about being together as one.... its about putting the

relationship you have together above all other relationships bar god....god at the center makes for the best love.....

 

its about completely mind blowing love makiing that connects you in the physical where the boy goes wow never had it so good im going to be there for her no matter what.... and where the girl goes wow this is the best ever..im gonna love the hell out of this guy......... and that allows strong bonds to form in the emotional and spiritual aspects of yoru relationship...its about doing whats right by your partner always and if you dont you say sorry adn if you truly love the person you acept their apology and move forward to gether......that to me ...is love.....deb

There are of course different types of love - love between parent and child, love for friends, but couple/romantic/marriage love is different.

 

In may cases all of these loves can involve putting the needs of the other , above your own. Their needs, well being, happiness.

 

Sex is very important but sex can take many forms its not just banging away - age, illness, disability - can change what sex means but if your partner wants sexual intimacy there are ways. Sex (for some) can bring an intimacy and a bond not present in other relationships. Yet for others its just sex.

 

Love to me is a choice and an often act of service.

All love is the same. Love is love. If you're IN love there's a sexual component. That's the only difference.

 

Love is rare. It involves feeling fully accepted and SAFE with that human being. Few people have had this. Mostly it's all selfish and that's not love.

Hmm good question. I really can't say lol. But in my experience the greatest love is that of a mother. Who did everything for her son growing up in poverty and drug, alcohol and domestic abuse...

 

Took him to hide by neighbours. Spent months with him in the hospital. Was with him every minute when he got injured . protected and took care of him as he grew up in one of the worst environments a child could grow up in. And always put him first no matter what.

 

That is love for me. There'll never be one better.

I think the answer is probably different for different people.

 

For me, romantic love is a mix between friendship and family.

 

It's friendship because you're have really good times and experiences together, and it's family because you spend so much time together that an unconditional acceptance develops.
