loving with ease

Hi Great, It's really hard to love unconditionally. it takes all the power in you to be able to do it. this is possible and i am doing it right now most especially with my hubby and my kids. i am not only trying my best but i am doing my best to love them unconditionally..take on sacrifices to make them happy!

The ability to love totally unconditionally takes a lot of spiritual evolvement and it is not easy to do especially in regards to romantic relationships. We can love our children and our friends with no expectations but when it comes to matters of the heart the majority of us have very specific requirements that we would like a potential life partner to have in order for us to allow him or her to share our life. It is not so easy to accept being loved in a way that may be different to the way we love but if we could learn to do that we may just find the true love we have always coveted.

As I believe you have defined unconditional love, in a marriage/romantic relationship, I'm not convinced it's possible. I think that deep down everyone has a line or a threshold that can not be crossed. Probably the most common being infidelity. "Most" people who are in established committed relationship can not and will not tolerate infidelity. Therefore, making it a "condition" in the relationship or w/ the love you have for that person. I am that way, I can (don't like to, but can) tolerate my husbands messes, hair in the sink after shaving, even his often display of (lack of) patience, however... if he steps outside of our marriage, the trust is automatically gone, and therefore, would more than likely take us to divorce court. So, yes a "condition" of our love and committment is DO NOT CHEAT. Just my 2-cents....

Thank you for this. It's such an eye-opener especially for us, who are in a relationship. I like (thumbs up!) this post. It somehow gives importance to how people should manage their relationships and make them value who they have in their lives.

Hello. I think unconditional love can only exist between a child and a parent. It is difficult to say that unconditional love can happen in a romantic relationship because most people go into the relationship with some ideas of what they expect from their mate. In other words, I believe that even if a person has no expectations from their mate there is always at least the one expectation that the one you love does not cheat on you. I agree that in a relationship encouraging the one we love to strive for things that make them happy, and accepting their flaws should be a given, but it is difficult to beleive that unconditional love can exist in the romantic form. Good point that your partener is not your personal property, so true.

Unconditional love it's a very deep topic. But I agree with some of the people posted before me, this only you can be found in a relationship in which parents and sons and daughters are involved; because this fraternal feeling is what we call unconditional love
