If love is everything..why does it end? Is it because its not true? or maybe because its not love at all instead its infatuation. Whatever it is. Love is still the best there is. The only scary part is when it disappears. How do you cultivate it so that it'll last forever? Does anger sucks up all the love that you established? Like for instance, a husband to his wife or vice versa. They reached a point that they'll go on their separate ways because their hearts stopped beating for each other anymore. Is it the end?

Love..there are many ingredients need to make love continue as a fairy tale for example understanding, maturity, honesty, freedom, compromise, dedication, affection, caring, intelligence, trust, respect, and many more. So as far as the ingredients are present then love will never die. But if one of them is missing or it is replaced by ego then Love will surely die.

I don't believe love is everything. It's important but not everything. Love never disappears though, because if it did it wouldn't be love. You're talking about husband-wife kind of love though. Which is most certainly not everything. Love between friends and family is the kind of love that's most important and will last.

Love isn't everything. But love sure makes everything feel good. I have come a long way of waiting for having someone to love me, and whom I love too. I had my chance to stumble upon love but I was too foolish to fail to appreciate it. Yeah, I did my best to keep that love, but I guess you can't really force love or hold it back to where it should be in the first place.
The next time love comes knocking at my door, I wouldn't open my doors just yet. I would take my time and see if that one knocking at my door is really love and not just someone pretending to be love.
I don't know though if love would pass up a chance on me again, but all I can say is, to those who are in love and are loved right now, don't miss the chance to let love know how precious he/she is. At the same time, don't tie chains to keep love. Set it free and if it's yours it'll gladly come back whole-heartedly.

Hi, love is not everything. Love does not feed unless those in love are not committed to their respective part of works. Working is thus being in love. Love speaks for itself, it is spontaneous. If being possessed by the though of love is everything that is not love.
Love lifts from bottom to the top and brings contentment.

I think it's sadly so...but life goes on, in spite of the loss of love...children are still a good source of joy and love, so all is not lost after all. If love is everything, it does not mean we stop living when we lose it. When one door closes, another one opens without us knowing it.

Love can never represent everything. Remember the TLC acronym? Tender, Love and Care. The other two cannot be neglected. :)

You can love someone and they may not return your love. They might love someone else. For two people to love each other, it takes time, respect,attention, honor and devotion. If one is constantly seeking the other out, and is constantly turned away, the love might still be there....hidden underneath, but I'm sure the person would quit trying to seek out the other person.
If you want love to grow, you need to nurture it. Treat it as though it were a flower. Even if you quit watering a flower and took away all it's light, the flower will surely die. Look at premature infants, the ones that survive receive a lot of love and holding. Skin contact and stimulation has a lot to do with survival. Loving someone takes a lot of time, and you have to be willing to put that time in, it has to be nurtured, cultivated and well cared for. With love, most things do grow.

No, i believe it isn't the same for every marriage. Sometimes, you gotta be in it to know how it feels like being in a marriage that's dying i guess...I read a lot of novels about these kind of marriages..And what makes you say that anger sucks up all the love that you established? Maybe you could be angry and can't stand the sight of your partner for awhile, but taking it as far as to loathe him for a very long time means that your love has ended long ago...And yes, love is great, it may not be everything, but it is realyl something worth treasuring...
