Is true love like so many other things in this world that is slowly disappearing into extinction?
Have we now reached a point where relationships now have a use by date and have become as easily disposable?
Or have we lost the fortitude and values that used to push us along in relationships to find answers to our problems and instead find that it is easier to end the whole relationship and start again with someone else?
Or was true love just an idea, a perception, a dream never to be attained by anyone?

What do you think?

I believe in the concept of love, but my question is "What is Love" having 2 broken engagements and a marriage - I really lost sight of what love is ...all the things that your parents, grandparents and greatparents have taught me about love says it is there, you have to believe, well I stopped believing, because I no longer trust - and the sad thing is not that I don't trust relationships I don't trust my judgment... so maybe the idea of arranged marriages may have some merrit....cheers

I believe in true love much the same as I believe in the lottery...I play the game and never win...sorry, my glass is half empty but I find people have become far more results oriented in this fast paced world of technology and instant gratification. I see the efforts dwindling wine

Isn't rue love unconditional love?

No conditions = no garanties

We love our children unconditionally and give from the heart - whatever the outcome ... We continue to love them no matter what ...
EVEN if they grow into "someone difficult to live with", or with goals that don't match ours ... We continue to love them even after they go in a different direction to the one we hoped for ... They get on with their life with our blessing ... We don't own them ... So we don't selfishly ask them to "stay" and be who we want them to be ... We don't either change ourselves to match the way "they think life should be lived".

May be if we viewed relationships with the same phylosophy there would be less heartache and more happiness all round.

Yes I believe in it and I'm quite prepared to wait.

Its simple really. If two people want the same thing they will be more than willing to make it happen. With Respect, love and honesty being the foundation, how can it possibly go wrong?? smitten

Sorry, I should have been more specific, I was using it in it's original meaning which is a double edged sword, true love is a double edged sword, it can cut for you, but equally it can cut you,grin

Not everyone loves their children unconditionally.Some children aren't that forunate.

As for relationships.We've become a throw away society.

There is a whole lot more to a relationship than the simple concept of love. It takes years to build a relationship where the two finally realize they have "true love", but it isn't always guarenteed. Not many are willing to go the full course and work tirelessly for the rest of their life, at something that only pays off in memories and devoted companioship.

I agree...I was saying that I believe more in 'care' than 'love'...I think Hollywood has set an unreasonable standard and if we look back YEARS ago - like 200 years ago it was really about women had babies and did a lot of everything else - and the men were the protectors and hopefully to some degree - providers. What seems to be more prevalent these days is how independent we can be...rather than helpful and caring. It kind of goes back to the action - if you show that you care - and by that I mean - being there for your kids (if you have them) or for your friends/family - and be respectful you've got something special in your life. The concept of 'romantic love' is great onscreen - it just doesn't seem to translate...darn that Walt Disney anyways!!!
