I do agree with this for fear to me is stronger than love because your heart is afraid that you could or may get hurt but you don't look at all points of it when first falling in love it set's in after the fact.

Love conquers all including your fears.

YES!! Sometimes the fear of losing the person causes you to actually lose them, because of the behavior that emerges because of the fear. Although love is very strong, I think that fear can overcome love, which is sad in a way but it is what we have created as humans, if you know what I mean...

it depends, sometimes fear really stronger than love, like my friend, he is afraid to hav r'ship with a gal who is his best friend, he fear that when the r'ship ended, the friendship will ended as well, he also fear that he will hurt this gal so much becoz he know she love him very much, he also fear that his friend might laugh at him to choose a gal like that (who is different type from his beautiful ex's')...however, in the gal's situation, she think love can conquer all, she had many fear b4 when face with love, but she wanna face the fear & get over it...she learn, she try to overcome the fear with her own strength, coz it seems that nobody is supporting her but herself...

I believe that there's no other feeling stronger than love. Love conquers all. Fear?...It's just a state of the mind.

Love is fearless. Take your children for instance. If you fear that they will get hurt if they go outside to play. You don't let them go out. If you fear if they'll get sick by... then you won't let them. Or your spouse, if you fear this or fear that, then there is so much trust lost. Love conquers all including fear. If you fear your spouse, then there is no love. Only Satan put fear in our hearts. God is stronger with His love. To put in a religious aspect.

Yes fear seem to be stronger than love. Even in the garden of eden when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they allowed dear to over ruled them untill today people are living in a fearfull way even fear one another that is way we are instructed to love one another. Fear brings destruction and it brings lack of confidence.

Of course not! Love is the most powerful feeling that a human has. Love is the only reason that make us human. Without love, there is no other feelings. We feel fear because of love. Same with other feelings. Whoever wrote that articles maybe doe not understand the true meaning of love. But I respect his opinion, if that what he believes in. But I beg to disagree with him.
