i've heard before and have lived by the saying that love will always be enough but i have heard others say that love isn't always enough to keep a relationship together..but i honestly think that if they both love each other enough that they can work anything out that happens to come their way...so what do you think...do you think that this saying is true(that love is always enough)or do you think that sometimes love really isn't enough..i think that it is going to be interesting to see what everyone thinks about it...thanks for reading my discussions and hopefullyi will get some answers soon!

Love is unjudjeable and cant measure. Lover always have faith in them that their love is true and should not get ended.. Relationship is a very very long term love for both the parties. Understnading each other is one of the most impartant part of love. Thanks and good posting.

hi,
i do not agree totally with u since love is not the only thing for an reationship to work out. there r other factors like understanding, trusts and a sense of responsibility for each other that will make a relationship lasts long. sometimes it happens that a couple love each other very much but they r not able to maintain a healthy relation, thats becuase they do not have other qualities mentioned above. i think everyone must have expereinced n seen this in many cases.
so love is required but it is not the only thing.!!!!

Love is always not enough when ones is greedy in a relationship. I think we should always appreciate what we are having in a relationship. We should look things in positive ways,instead of seeing things we don't have, it's much better for us to see things that we have. We will live in miserable if we always desire more. I am in a relationship, I always see things in the ways I have mentioned above. I am happy with my life and relationship now,lol. We will never be happy if we never feel satisfied.

it is well-know that love without bread is like building a castle in the air. We Chinese have a vivid saying "couples in poverty sigh all year round" we can also understand from a common word "dear", remember everytime you call your "dear", she or he is really dear in more than two ways.

Just love - is never enough jhl. There's so much more to relationships than love. With so many different definitions of love, one has to have a deeper understanding of what makes relationships work. It's so much more than just love.

Love is not enough for me. The couple should work for their relationship as well as much as they can. It's a dual effort and a give and take system. Love is the foundation or the seed. But of course, that seed has to grow so you need to pour water in it and take care of it as it grows in your heart.

Dear friend,
I hope those who love to be loved and gets love always what love and also those who find it more scarce also may need love. May be if love hurts it is too bitter. Hence those who had tasted its bitter side would always lay back to get love. Hence I feel those who treat love as something they want always want to be loved and those who do hope love hurts that pain cannot beard may hesitate to love.

No, love is not enough. It takes hard work on the part of both people in a relationship.

I don't think that love is enough. I don't think as humans we can give unconditional love. I think only GOD can. We have expectations regardless of how high or how low they may be. If our needs in other areas are not being met, sometimes the stress or unhapiness this causes is too great even though we may love someone.

No. I don't think that love in not enough. It never get enough.
Love is always to present and for the relationship with family, friends, kids, husband, colleagues etc.. love remains in that standard. love can solve any kind of problems arising between any two persons. i think love really not enough. Love between husband and wife never enough it should live long and should love each other.

I really don't think love is enough to make a relationship truly last. There are a lot of factors that can play into the relationship and sometimes even if you just love the other so much there are things that are difficult to accept or take in the situation. I have been in the same relationship for 12 years now and there have been many times when we'd both be so frustrated with things but we just kept prodding on. I don't think it's just love that makes things work for us. We're also very compatible and we're always on the same page when it comes to important life issues. We like a lot of the same things. Individually, we also have our healthy sense of humor going for us.

I think that if there is love then they can work things out. Love is enough, but it also takes other things to make a relationship last like communication, trust, honesty and loyalty. Those go with having love for a person

In my opinion, there are other things equally as important to a relationship. Communication, respect, compromise, friendship, compassion, just to name a few.
No matter how much you love someone, you can't change who you are and neither can your partner. If there are too many things which are not compatible to the other then love will not be enough to hold the relationship together.

I'd say that sometimes love isn't enough. Not everyone that get divorced hate each other. Sometimes people path or goals in life are different from each other. I wish that love was enough but it's not.

Quite a fews years ago I really loved someone and he loved me, too. He moved in with me but, after a couple of months the stress of life got to him (I had three kids and he had none) and he moved in with his brother...but we still saw each other and still loved each other. A few months later he wanted to move back in and I told him yes but I also told myself that I would not let him come back a second time if he left again because his leaving really hurt. So, you guessed it, another couple of months go by and he wants to move back to his parents' house...but we'll still see each other. I smiled, said okay, and away he went. Soon after I ended it with him completely but I did still love him and he did love me. I needed security and he was unable to settle down so, no, sometimes love isn't enough.
