there is a relationship i have been in and yes we have had hard times but we haven't given up on one another but there are times that we thought that we were going to give up on one another and honestly neither one of us wanted that we knew that it would get better, but anyways to amke a long story short a few times shes said maybe loves not enough, and i honestly think that it always will be as long as neither of us gives up on one another and the relationship, i mean i know that we will have some hard times but don't everyone, so i just want your opinion do you think that love is always enough? thanks for taking the time out of your day to read my discussion and i hope respond to it, and i hope that you all have a great day and the rest of your night is great as well!

Love is like the foundations of a house: you can't build anything without them, but only foundations are not a home. So, love is the key to any relationship, but you also need other things, like mutual respect, enjoying each others' company, have chemistry or whatever is important for you to share with your partner. When the tough times come, it will be love that will hold you together, but if you plan to spend your lives together, then love is not enough.

hi congratulation, you have found your soul mate, when 2 persons are soul mate they will go through all obstacles to make it work for them.. What you said is very true where when both of you never give up on the relationship for small things then the relationship can be called a RELATIONSHIP me and my husband went through a lot of hard times, family opposition, people inteferance, and our own individual difference.. for 14 years we struggled to keep and maintain our relationship .. finally we got married last year without full approval from family .. Yes, only love is not enough in a relationship, you have to add alot of tolerance, undersanding, appreciation, respect and treat them as friend ... Cheers

love is the beggining and then things get hard. and some people cant handle certain situations and even though they still love the other person move on. so in my opinion love is never enough

maybe love is just one of a factor, but you also both need trust and patience and of course you need God in the center of your relationship.. if one of this is not present in your relationship, then you should work it out... =)
