Hi guys! I need your thoughts about this: in keeping relationships, is love enough basis to continue? i mean, yeah, you love each other for sure, but there are other external factors outside your LOVE for each other that makes it difficult for both of you, for example your families are not in good terms with each other, or one of you has to go abroad & live there or you have different beliefs in religion or other things,or one of you will lose a job because of the relationship, in short your love makes your life more difficult & complicated, BUT you TRULY loved each other.SO do you think LOVE is enough?

Absolutely! Some people never find love...not in all their life.....no soulmate...that is sad...Remember that nothing worthwhile is easy and in todays time of divorce maybe the hardships you have to overcome will strengthen that love so that you will forever find that love only in each others arms. They say it is better to have loved and lost at love then to have never loved.....but to give up love and risk never finding it again could truely make your life unhappy and lonely. If you truely love each other one if you will make the right sacrifices at the right times....Love is complicated and full of sacrifices for each other. If you truely love each other you should be friends and if not share the same beliefs be able to respect and take an interest in each others beliefs. As for the parents They got to live there lives its your turn....if it is truely love it will endure if you let it! We had it tuff and now its 18 years later we are still madely crazy in love and happy!!!!! I hope this helps you. Just know that love is a comodity that too many never find and those who find it are richer than those with the money!

Love is not enough but it's love that made things enough. If there's love there must be respect, care, sacrifices and the desire to earn a living or to have a stable income. If there's love there must be understanding, an initiative to be humble and to be forgiving. Beacause of love, you learn to be friendly, to have self discipline, self confidence and determination. As long as there's love, there's hope and fulfillment. In other words love is the key to make love enough.

Hi there Xtian! I am a hopeless romantic and I am one of those people who still believe that love conquers all. But it's just not any love. I am referring to true love where you are willing to sacrifice everything that you have for the object of your affection.

Love itself isn't enough. A willingness to accept each other, without forcing the other to change to meet your expectations. Do your families live with you, or you with them? If not, both of you have to stand firm and tell them it's YOUR life, not theirs. Religion has different customs, and ways to express their beliefs, but they really are the same underneath. The belief in a God, call him Allah, Jehovah, whatever, he's still the same Person. Each person should respect the other's way of believing. I consider the willingness to respect each other for who you are, however you are, is a part of love. It's just most people think of love as this all consuming passion, not the other part. The part where two people find comfort and safety and acceptance in each others arms.
