Do you believe love exists?
We all know about the unrealistic and misinterpreted love portrayed on screen, in print and through songs. But I am interested in knowing whether you believe in real-life love or if you think that relationships are only linked in lust and marriage is only upheld in compromise.

Love exists. It is sacred. A good relationship will yield a social service couple.

I do believe in love.
I do not believe love portrayed in films/literature/song is a fallacy, unrealistic, or misinterpreted; the focus is put on a part of love hardly any know, hardly any know how to give much less hold on to. What comes from such love is what they don't show.
Love has no interpretation. It has only itself.
No, i do not believe all relationships are linked in lust, nor marriage only upheld in compromise. People have lost the great importance that comes with these two aspects of life therefore throwing love, as well as marriage around as though something easily gained or lost. We have forgotten what they truly mean, and in the process the weight that come with both.
It is ironic to me, how humans so desire companionship and to know love, when in that search it is the one thing that continuously evades them.

Love definitely exists. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years and im 17 years old. We have never had sex yet and i love him dearly still. Love in relationships is not based on lust, its based on all that other stuff that makes you want to be with that person. Marriage is a commitment not a compromise, and unfortunately many people are forgetting that and only get married because they got pregnant, or think that they are in love because they have made it a whole month without fighting (seriously, im in high school and this is the kind of stuff i hear.)

yeah, it can't all be infatuation, lust, or compromise. haven't you ever felt that you were just meant to be with someone, for however long an amount of time as it's supposed to be? i think that's a type of love. also, i think the kind you see in some movies does exist in real life. i know this old couple who ran away when they were 16 to get married, and they're still happily together, with grand kids and a huge family. i think that's love.
relationships are probably more love based than marriage. then again, half of all marriages end in divorce. maybe they thought they were in love, or they were, but they fell out of it? i think that's feasible.

Love sure exists in my life. All relationships of any kind are probably based on compromise. I don't think that you have to compromise to love, but to have any sort of workable relationship with anyone, you do.

Love as most think of it doesn't exist. Romance has been dead for almost 100 years, and Lust doesn't qualify. Now, there is a such thing as platonic love, or love between friends, because without friends, we're all hermits.

Love exists in my life in many ways. I love my wife of 28 years. I love my country. I love my three dogs as family. I love my family and close friends each in a different manner. I love myself. I love the beauty in all things.

oh yes dear one, love does exist and is alive and well on planet earth..
though it can be hard work at times as we as humans are innately selfish beings.
the greatest thing i have found with true love is the wonderful fruit it produces in not just your own life but the lives around you as well.
and the fact it grows you into a selflessness that remains constant producing greater character and care for yourself and again, others as well!
FABULOUS QUESTION!!!

I think that is a very smart question. I do not believe in love. I think it is an illusion, making you not use your wits and marriage is lust completely.

There are a multitude kinds of love....the one for my mate of 40 years, the love for our children, the love for the grandkids, the love of friends, the love for our animal friends. All different and all of varying degrees of depth. Love exists.
