hi raynejasper! yep! it is challenging to love someone alright. love is not a feeling but a decision. so when we decide to love someone, we make the decision based on our flawed judgment and character, and also the flawed judgment and character of the other person. so, since we are imperfect, our love is not perfect as well. and since we have made the commitment, it makes it hard for us too. so everyday, especially with our spouses it is a great challenge to really keep the commitment to love the other spouse. warts and all! :-) take care and God bless you!

..you're right.. we need wide understanding and patience to adjust with the person we love since we don't have the same attitudes.. sometimes, we commit mistakes unconsciously likewise our partners.. we have to be forgiving too since as you said, nobody is perfect..

me too i agree.its a very challenging one..i could say this because love is not just a game but a life risking..we are talking about our life and happiness.no man is an island and love takes time.love measures our strength and how long can we hold on..love is a most important part of our life with out love theres no peace and happiness.so i agree love in very challenging , we get hurt,we learn to hold on,to love and take risk..its giving are selves to someone deserving and choosing the right one,thats one challenging about love.take care!friend.

Hi, If understanding between two is very good then relationship is not challenging.But the moment misunderstanding started then definitely loving is challenging.

In a way loving someone is a challenging part of our life. There are three main aspects whivh we need to handle when we love someone. The first is in trying to prove our love or at least convince the one we love. This is easier said than done otherwise there would not be questions on how to know whether the other person loves us or not. The second is to sustain the feelings that we have for the other person. Things like meeting new people can erode the foundation that we have built. Personal or family problems can affect loyalty. The third is how to ensure we keep or protect him/her from other predators. Too much and the person may hate us. Too little or none at all will expose him/her to emotional attacks. If the above are not challenging then I am not sure what are. all the best, rosdimy

I agree that it is indeed a challenge, a very big one at that. Why? Because to love someone, you need to trust that person. To love someone, you need to not listen to what others may tell you, because sometimes all it is, is people trying to break apart a happy relationship. Fifty percent of the time people are miserable themselves so they want everyone around them to be miserable as well. My point here is this, if someone comes to you, telling you anything, make sure you get hard facts, not just hearsay.

Yes, because sometimes you have to make sacrifices. And some of this sacrifices can be really challenging.

I disagree that loving someone is a challenging part of my life. HOWEVER trust that can ruin love is the challenging part of my life to having been hurt so much by past loves.

it can indeed be a challenging part of life,if you let it be. I don't let the small things bug me and things have been wonderful between me and my boyfriend. I am very grateful for having such a good boyfriend.

I think it depends on the type of love. If you're in a relationship with someone then yes it's always a challenge. Every day people's moods are different so sometimes it's hard to love that person fully if they are hard to get through to.

I think that loving someone is the easy part. Putting up with a person's personality traits and some of their behaviors can be the difficult part. I frequently tell my husband that I love him every day, but there are days that I don't LIKE him.

Yes, love is very challenging especially when you are not sure whether the other person loves you or not. And nowadays, it often happens that people fall in love with those who do not even mention the word love to them. Thus, it becomes a real challenge to win the heart of another person.

Yes because love always need sacrifice, when we love we dont bother about our partner status, religion ,society etc etc, but when it comes to make the love end to marriage every thing comes on the way, I dont understand if two persons love each other want to live together whole life,why all these society and religion comes on the way. Prayer for all true lovers
