What is true love and how do you know when you have found it?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps on record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. I Corinthians 13:4-18 (NIV)

hello businesh.... for me true Love is the our action to choose unconditionally in the process of offering to another human being the qualities of affection, respect, trust, care, joy, compassion, concern, forgiveness and many other positive emotional expressions of value and worth toward any living being as being Love able and valuable. We can know we find it when you have this feeling.... someone who can accept you whatever who you are...

hi puqimx you are definitely right. all the positive thoughts will be the ingredients of love. sometimes when we are truly madly deeply inlove with that person we gave all the love and nothings left in ourselves. but i guess we need to love ourselves too.

That's beaustiful. The only way to Know it is true love is how you feel about one another.If you both love each other the same amount, it'd true love.Third parties can't, or should I saw shouldn't tell you if it is true love or not. You just have to feel it.

That prayer is so appropriate and is included in a lot of wedding ceremonies, I ofter wonder if the bride and groom are listening to those wise words during their ceremony. I think true love is diffferent for everyone, but I think that it has to be unconditional to be true. To be aware that someone has faults and to maybe not really like everything about that person, but for those things not to matter. To truly accept someone's faults and still love them as a whole. To put someone elses needs in front of one's own. That is true love.

whatever shortcomings of our partner in life we need to accept it. what will be her / his faults. to aware someones faults we need to advice him to make it right. we dont love because were looking for a perfect person. we loved because were looking for a perfect love or shall we say were looking for true love.

True love is rarely all these things. How many people could actually come up to those standards? True love does exist. There will be high chemistry with your true love. If the chemistry runs both ways, you are getting close. True love is sometimes packaged funny. Rarely do they show up as a runway model or a soap opera star. And if you think your relationship will be nothing but roses, well think again. Life is about learning and growing as people. Your true love is also there for your growth as a person. That usually takes some drama! The final test for true love is patience.True love will never leave for long. I know a couple that fought like cats and dogs. She cut up his suits. He threw her clothes in the street. They were married and divorced several times but always got back together. I asked why they get back together? They said it's the only one the really fits. True love can be hot,exciting, stressful, learning, uncomfortable at times but it is really the only game in town. You are never bored or lonely with it in your life. It's great even when it's bad!!!!

Sometimes some couple got married but as the time goes by they decided to be separated and get to the point they will be divorced.there's a lot of reason why they divorced which we do not know there reasons but at least we have some ideas. in a couple if they are more comfortable with each other and too much familiar sometime they forgot that they have a relationship or they forgot that they are husband and wife.you are right true love can be exciting, hot, stressful but all the negative thoughts as long as we know that were in love is a goof feeling.

It's hard to say what the true love is clearly.But you can feel in with your heart.If the love can make you feel warm in the cold days and make you get through a strong wind in the wild,maybe it's the true love you want. And true love can always make you lively and active.You can be happy every day and have faith to face every difficulties. True love will make you strong~~
