is love enough for a relationship to last??

for me, it is enough.. with hardwork and patience, love can endure everything. :)

beliveness is strongest key for relation

Open-communication plays a significant role too, trust to each other since being suspicious is not healthy in any relationship, honesty is also another factor to be considered plus faith whoever you believe with, faith with HIM to guide you and bless you with your relationship!

i think that LOVE is the strongest foundation of a relationship. but if you love someone you must also trust and respect him/her for your relationship to last.

I think love is a good cornerstone. It is the first building block. Friendship is also important. Respect is needed too. Respecting each other and what each brings to the relationship. Communication is vital. You have got to be able to communicate with one another, or things will fall apart. Relationships are work. But they can be worth it.

I dont think so. You can love someone and still not be able to get along. You have to be able to be friends as well as love each other for a relationship to last. Trust is important too. Sometimes you love who someone used to be...not who they are now and the past isnt always enough to hold people together.

hi alex! yeah, i think it is so. but of course, it is not love that is a feeling. but love as a decision. the feeling may go away, especially if tough times come, but with real unconditional love, it gets stronger. so if you ask per se if love is enough, i think it is. it through love that made this world and save mankind from sin. good day alex! :-)

Love is a terrific start and can get you through some rough spots, but to truly last I think you also need honesty, trust, respect communication and a strong friendship. If you aren't honest then your partner won't trust you and if they don't trust you then eventually you will start not trusting them. If you don't have respect for each other, then you will never be honest and never gain trust. If you cannot communicate properly with each other then you you will have all sorts of problems. If you do not have friendship then I think you are in trouble. Many couples treat their partner worse than their friends so if you have the friendship then you treat them as a friend and you should be okay. My husband and I have a great friendship and we have always said that the friendship comes first and if the marriage ever starts to ruin the friendship then we would get divorced. Luckily, the friendship keeps us strong and helps us get through the really rough times where we might have gotten divorced if we did not have the friendship.

For me, commitment makes a relationship last. Love is fleeting it comes and goes. But if you stay committed, it can last.

Maybe love is not totally enough, but at least that is the start of a relationship according to my opinion! Without love, there is no meanings for relationship, if so, I think that relationship is just a relationship and can not last also!

Trust for me is the most important factor that could make relationship lasts. Love and respect would be the next. And don't forget to put God in the center of your relationship. Have your passion always on your partner. Good luck to your lovelife!:p

For a relationship to last, I think what's needed is not just love, but commitment as well. Relationships work because couples decide to love each other and stay together. Even if two people love each other, if this effort to be together no matter what happens isn't there then that love, no matter how great and intense, will not survive. Love may waver and change, but as long as the commitment is there the relationship is solid.

mmm.... love is not enough, maybe love is the stronghold of everything or shall we say the foundation of every humanity or shall we say in partnership.... aside from love you should have a balance in everything like time, you should manage everything in time, focus,patience,effort, the most important is the trust.... if you balance everyting (love, time, focus, patience, effort, trust) everything is under control... :)

TRUST and RESPECT!

love is enough if you and your girlfriend only need love but if any of you want any thing else then it is love and will last as long as the thing any of you want.
