I think ideally this should be way in love. Both the partners should make enough sacrifice for each of them. But sometimes it proved to be wrong. It may be that you believe so much, care so much for your partner and later in life that person only cheat you. it is so much painful then.

Yes, when you truely love someone, you won't mind sacrificing things such as your time and so on, and you won't feel it is a sacrifice too.Sacrifice has several meanings. It can mean a gift to worship a deity and love should be between two equals so the love would not be that real if that was the case. It can also mean to take a loss, for example in selling a house or a car so that should never be true love. The last meaning is to give up something for another but even there you are getting something in return - you give up having a job to stay home to have and raise children, for example, or work so that a spouse can finish school in hopes of getting a better job with more money in hopes of a better life for you both, but both of these can lead to resentment and end of the love if the result of the sacrifice is not what we think it should be. Given those things, I would say that true love is never a sacrifice but rather an exchange of values which result in a happy marriage if the values are correct and a divorce if the values exchanged are not considered equal by both of the people involved - for example, if one person is home with the children and the other out partying.

if you truly love someone then you would be willing to sacrifice and give up something for the one that you love. in love there are no boundaries! of course, it's probably easier said than done. everything has its limits and you gotta be realistic too.

Yes definitely,peple tend to sacrifice more than anything else when it comes supporting their partner in times of need..take example...how many of the females have left their worthy jobs after marriage just for nurturing the kids and take care of them....There are numerous other examples but this is the most common and the basic one.....

I think anyone in love has done that at one point in their life. I gave up a free pass to go to any university I wanted at one point in order to be with the one I loved, and you know what he did? He cheated on me after being married only 1 month. We all give things up for others. It's just a matter of learning from your past mistakes and really taking a step back to see if what you are sacrificing is something they would sacrifice in return for you if the shoe was on the other foot.
