LOVE is both a responsibilty and a feeling. To keep the FEELING going, U have to be RESPONISIBLE to keep your relationship healty & beautiful, so that's where the responsibilty comes in. & yes, You do have to do things to make them live more happy, to a certain extent. That's why it becomes a RESPONSIBILTY. "I'll give up my own life for him" is too much, i feel. Though i have felt that way before when i was younger. Now that im older i have diffrent views as to what love really is. Maybe love really is something that makes people sacrifice their own life.. Watever it is, I definitely feel it's a responsibilty and a feeling. When people say things like this it's because of what they're FEELING(love). Now it's their RESPONSIBILTY to maintain that feeling in a way that won't harm themselves or anyone else. So is it FEELING or RESPONSIBILTY? Both. Good luck to you with what your definition of love really means. I believe it's a diffrent definition for everyone.

for me, love between 2 different people just like a break free..if you find your soul mate, you would feel comfortable to be who you really are. you will not afraid to show your weakness, being honest and you can imagine to share your entire life with that person. It takes both side to work things out and become happy. Have a nice day!

Love is no responsibility.Its a give and take scenerio.Making your love happy should come naturally.There are lots of compromises when love is involved.Doing things for each other is something that is quite important.WE have to understand that loving someone should feel pleasurable,nice,sweet and be happy about that.You dont have to do anything major for the love of your life to be accepted completely.

Love is a feeling.that is sure.But you must hold responsibility in love and that can't be denied.Responsibility to care,understand,support,grow with,etc..Without responsibility,love cannot move further.Cheers!

Love is a responsibility in a way. But it's one that you do willingly because you feel love. Here is an example. I have been with my boyfriend for about four years now. About a year and a half ago, he fell very ill. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with him and it just got worse and worse. We couldn't do anything, and when I say anything, that means Anything!! We were stuck in the house for well over a year because he couldn't go out in public. He lost tremendous amounts of weight and I thought he was going to die at times. I stuck by his side through it all. Not because I had to. In fact, he told me I should leave him because he had nothing to offer me at the moment. I didn't leave and I didn't cheat on him even though he urged me to do it because he felt guilty. They found out that he had Crohn's disease and they put him on Remicade. He is back into life and we are back into life as a couple. It was my responsibility to stick around in the tough times. I wasn't forced to do it, but we got through it together. So, In that sense, yes, it can be a responsibility. You should do for the people that you love to make them happier. But it's on a volunteer basis. If you truly love someone you will work to keep it together, If you don't love them, you will walk away.

For me love is a kind of responsibility.Though it always plays the role in every TV series out there, should be considered responsibility. It isn't about something to do or give in return but it is what it meant for mutual affection,belongingness, trust, respect and attachment. Its the core of building good relationships to determine the feeling that is to be shared with whom you really love.

For me, love is not kind of responsibility. It is a feelings, a tender feelings which are put in the human heart by a caring God. But love is not composed of feelings only. It is feeling plus principle. Moreover, love is not controlled by feelings. It does not anything and everything it feels. Rather, in true love, the feelings are under the control of principle. Love is a feeling you feel when you feel that you're going to get a feeling that you never felt before. Happy my lotting...

I agreed about what you had said. Love is a kind of feeling which happened between the two person who really in-love with each other. When the love was fully developed and both are married and lived together, then comes the responsibility to build a happy home. These responsibilities must be handled by both, husband and wife, then you will feel the joy in your marriage...

The both that you said is true, because the two has it's own capacity to join force to give life and meaning of love if you don't have a feeling for that person you want to take responsibility to that person, to maintain your relationship the two of you must take responsibility to each other and subdue your feeling to make a better relationships, then listen to each other feeling to focus to your responsibility.

I think to know what love is, one first need to know what is like. I mean you do know what like means, right? You like so many things. You may like a purse just released by your favorite vendor. You can like to play squash. However, would you fall in love with them? Would you love the purse? I don't think so. From my understanding, when you like something, you want to own it as it gives you satisfaction. But when you love someone, and truly love him, you want to do whatever it takes to make him happy which if required, include letting him go. For instance, if you love a guy so much, you would let him go to foreign countries to further studies for a couple of years instead of asking him to stay by your side.
