do you believe that love is enough?

do you? why? i don't think that love is enough to stay in a relationship. differences may always be there but love is the thing that binds a couple no matter how big their difference is. But sometimes, when circumstances become unbearable, like physical abuse, could you still stay for love?

Love can always be enough! It has to go both ways though. You can't,by yourself, keep a relationship going just on your love alone. It has to be a love that both people share that is worth fighting for and working out. If a person is getting abused or cheated on, then it's a one way love and it's not worth staying for anyways. God bless

some people go selfish and value their pride so much which results to abuse. sometimes, they do not want to let their partner go because of selfishness and pride... they keep on repeating how much they love their partner but in reality, they love themselves more and do not want to lose anything they have been used to.

Well love dissolves all differences and one accepts other as he or she is. I have seen some people who are madly in love and even after abuse they stay.But somehow I feel that if a person loves you will never resort to abuse, Somehow I feel give some time to the person and with love you can improve him.

you have a point.. that if a person loves you, abuse will never be in the scene.. trust must be there as well :)

i dont think love is enough to stay in a relationship because to much love will lead into jealousy.. for me, love, respect, trust and patience also communication is the best way of having relationship last.. not only love.. so, how can you love the person who dont love you? you can still love him? it's not reliable.. lots of factors needed to have relationship last..

i also believe that if you respect someone, or your partner per se, then everything else will follow. :)

i don't love will be enough. Love alone can't make the relationship last. Sometimes too much love can lead into break up. Jealousy is one of too much love, it can lead to fights and then lead to end up the relationship. It might be one factor to have a good relationship. But in order to have a good relationship love, trust, care, communication and understanding should be present. If you have in your relationship, expect your relationship will last.

yes... you're right. everything must be in balance.. too much love is not at all good.. it's all in the handling of emotions. maturity is also a big factor..
