Well, there are those who think of marriage as only a way to be safe and have sex and not look like a pimp around other people. Personally, I believe they are the type of people who will never find true love. However, the people who don't have premarital sex and sincerely love the person they marry, they found true love.

I feel like writing a soap opera.  caterpie;

Marriage=/=love.

Sex=/=love

Marriage=Nothing. It's merely something that supposedly bonds these people closer together in hopes they will develop a deeper love for each other. "True love" is possible, but it's pretty damn rare.

This is true. Marriage and sex aren't necessary at all for love. Not saying that I won't do both of those things with the girl I love, though.

And yes, I think true love is possible. Whether or not it's what I've got I cannot say.

Love + Sex = More love
I've already talked about this with someone else but there is proof of chemical changes after sex between the who people.

Love = Sex
This isn't always true though...

Lust ≠ Sex
Obviously, thats why they call it "lust" and not "love"

Yes, definitely. Sex is one of the ultimate expressions of love when done with someone you truly love. It's not just sex, it's making love. SWEET, HOT LOVE.

I think it does. The act of marriage is supposed to make people think before they give up on a relationship.  At least that is what I was taught. It should be harder to end a legal relationship then one you can just walk away from.

I believe that true love does exist, but it's very rare. Especially these days.
Marriage, can be good or bad. If it really is true love, it should pan out well.
If it's not true love, there are two scenarios.
One: The couple will end up getting divorced. And that will most likely have some effects on any children.
Two: The couple will stay together just because of children or something. The couple may go through life and figure out that they soon despise each other. That would suck.

Overall, I don't see marriage as a good choice.

Sex can go either way, also. It can complicate a relationship, or it can strenghten it.
If you truly love some one, and you engage in sexual activities, it'll be much better than some sort of one night stand.
If you just have sex with a friend that you thought you had feelings for, that could go and end your whole friendship if you realize that you don't love each other.

Most "love" in our society is not true love.
I find it pretty sad that the majority of married couples don't stay together. There are so many divorces these days. People are abusing the marital system. They treat it as if it's not important at all.

Last I knew, marriage was supposed to be a lifelong commitment. It's said how it seen now.

Oh ya, true love. It exists, but it's rarely seen it today's society. Most people are blinded by other things.

Assholes.

I would want to get married merely for the benefits of it. Life is a lot easier when you're married.

Sex can sometimes mean love, but the occasional one night stand doesn't qualify as "true love" in my book...

Love is a biological thing, that's all I remember. It's an attachment to someone so you can keep making the same fucked up babies with them.

That's about all I'd see it as.

To know one's weaknesses is to be prepared for them. Do not lead down the path of love, for this leads to jealousy, anger, hatred. The path of the dark side, this is.

The concept of love is an adapted "emotion" brought on to preserve monogamy to avoid over-population among other things. That's what make sense to me at least. As for "true love", that's up to you. It exists if you want it to exist, baby.

I however do not believe there is such a thing as true love.
Title: Re: Does true love actually exist?
Post by: Meyer Lansky on May 27, 2008, 07:35:39 PM
Sure it does.

People think love is about being able to spend time with each other; really, you can spend time with anyone you choose. But when you think that you absolutely hate them for something they did to you, but you STILL want to be with them, and you still could not imagine going to the movies, the mall, or just hanging out together with someone else this Saturday... then you MIGHT be in love.

Some say love is finding the perfect mate. When you realize that this other person is NOT perfect, and you have seen a bunch of things about them that you do not necessarily like, but you still have an overall feeling of respect and admiration for them... then you MIGHT be in love.

Some say love is about sharing special moments together, but it is way more than that. When something great happens to you and you think that it would have been so much better if that other person was there with you, like having a great time really is not enough anymore, because you want that great time to be with this other person... then you MIGHT be in love.

Some say love just... happens, like two people just meet and they were "meant to be". Listen... love is an effort, a verb, an ACTION; it is not a noun, something that just exists. Love is not something you have; it is something you do. When you find yourself wanting to do more to improve the relationship you have with your significant other... then you MIGHT be in love.



When you realize that this other person feels all of those things for you... then you're in love.

Seeing as how not one human being can truly explain the emotion love, its highly unlikely. If you can get re-married or even date after you loose a spouse, then Im 99% sure you were not in true love.

If you think about it, love and god almost go hand in hand. They both require extreme amounts of faith and commitment, you can't see either, but can believe in them just the same, and you also can't truly understand either, but just know in your soul it feels right....coincidence? Im thinking not.
