What is "true love" for you?

True love is the feeling that we have for our children wherein we are not asking for any return. We can sacrifice for our children.

this so true... but my say to true love... just like what my father in law said. "you cannot love anyone if you don't know what and who is the source of love." then i ask him who is the source of love? he said it is God. just like what u said maurya83 we have to see the imperfect person perfectly. actually that is how God look at us, we are totally imperfect in all aspects, but God loves us so much that He never see an imperfect person but a perfect human being in the making through faith in him.

The perfect person doesn't exist, it's just a fallacy, the stuff of fairy tales, not true life, it's how we define true love, it comes in all shapes and sizes, we have our own expectations of how true love should be, sometimes we settle for second best because we feel deep down either we don't deserve true love, or that true love is too evasive too find and we are wasting our lives looking for the impossible. I can honestly say that I have never found true love in my life, I may have mixed love with lust, but unlike love, lust doesn't last very long and it can be very disappointing once the lust goes! Maybe I will never find my true love, certainly not now, because I am not looking, and the love I have found has been 'abusive and toxic' love which has tainted love for me. Sad to say I haven't come across love in it's finer form.

that is true, often at the start of a relationship we only see the person's good traits, that he is perfect for us, that he is the one we want to be with... but it would turn out to be different and we start to see their imperfections, their bad habits too... But deciding to accept those imperfections and seeing past what they are and come to terms that we cannot change them, only accept that no one is made perfectly and that there are not one person in the world without flaws... it is a decision - and that decision to accept is what true love is.

True love is found when you find that part of your soul in someone else, a person who you communicate with even when you are not conversing, who you know loves you even if he doesnt tell you. Someone who is there for you and your strength without even telling you.

Love is all selflessness. It’s the opposite of need and attachment. To an individual it’s a sensation of allowing, rather than seeking. Letting go, rather than grasping. Love is bigger than you. Love is the intention to let that thing be for its own sake. To love someone is for their happiness to be the same as your own. And you'll love them selflessly regardless of their shortcomings and imperfections because it is these things that make us who they are.

Well, in fact there is no perfect person. Someone may seem perfect at this moment, but may not seem perfect the other moment. Similarly, if we find someone to be perfect, he/she may not be perfect to someone else. But it's true that we need to accept a person as he/she is, if we like that person. Once you like him/her for some reason and then start finding faults, it doesn't make sense. We need to appreciate the good things in a person whom we love. If we can't, then we are not in love at all. It's just an illusion and a need-based relationship wherein we want the person to be as per our imagination and our requirement. For me, true love is having that special, unique feeling for only ONE person in this entire world. No matter how helpful , how attractive, and how perfect someone else may seem to be, we NEVER get that special feeling for him/her other than that special person.

I so think that it is one way of describing it. And I also believe that True love doesn't always end up to be the person you got married. They may be the person you have met and felt the truest love but because of certain circumstances, you ended up with different partners.

We love each other and enough understanding is important,meanwhile to leave some space for your partner can be helpful to the relationship.To make it fresh and also long.That would be my way to do it.I'd like to hear more from dear mylotters.

In my opinion love is just a feeling. Yes its true when you a person being imperfect does the perfect things when he/she is in love with you is the person who loves you truly as he/she changes him/herself for you.

True love is beyond words, description or explanation. It's a personal feeling that can only be felt but none ever share with any one. However one only needs to find his/her true love to know all about it. Cheers.

Hi, Definition of true love differs from person to person. It is very difficult to find perfect person. You are right. the person in love may be imperfect but he will be perfect for the other person in love. In love the importance should not be given to the outer look of the person but it should be given to inner beauty of mind. there is no place of misunderstanding, there should be trust, love and care for each other.

Yes, that statement hold a profound idea about life and love. People should be referring to it when mentioning about love instead of being driven by lust and superficial aspects in a person.

true love is how and what we see to a person and accept him/her as a whole, that is what true love means to me. :)
