The best kind of love that person can give is selfless love. The kind of love weherin you put your needs aside to give way to the needs of the person you love. Some may call it dumb or as the Filipino's call it "katangahan". But for me this is the true meaning of love. Emotions come from the brain specifically the hypothalamus (our control center) logically that means we should be able to select the person that we love. The person that has the specific traits we have set in our mind as the ideal person to love. Ironically we fall for the peron far from what we've perceived as ideal. That is the mystery of love and that is the very reason why i belive that selfless love is the best form of love.. Imagine if both of you would have unselfless love for each other..

My wife and I have a selfless love for each other, as there is nothing we would not do for the other. I would much prefer my wife to be as happy as she can before I even think about what I want or need, and I know she feels the same about me. This is the best love one can have, it is true, lasting love between true soulmates!

I am very happy that there are people who share this kind of love.. I think people like you can handle any problem as long as that person is by your side.. I hope you would continue loving your wife selflessly and wish that she would do the same too...

We have gotten through a lot of ups and downs together, and I do have doubts as to whether we could have if our love wasn't as strong as it is! I believe our love won't change, except maybe to get stronger, if that's possible!

I envy people who have this. They are very lucky. Alot of people have this already and do not realize it.

I don't believe that selfless love is a kind of love at all. This is just one attribute of true love. When one person truely loves another person, desiring to please the other and putting their own needs and ambitions aside is nothing out of the ordinary. My wife and I have been married for 37 years and we still feel and act this way towards each other.
