My life experience, teach me that is very important when you got somebody respect, sometimes respect is more as love is; If somebody love you, but you don t have his respect, all is for nothing, but of course that is wonderful when somebody love you truly.
I am sure that all of us want from who we love respect and love in same time; but is possible? Are people who love others but don t respect them; is possible;
So, what is more important for you, to have somebody love or somebody respect?WHY?

Hey. Till now in my life I did not experience anything like this. I mean without respect love.But yes I agree you that some people love others a lot but at the same time they don't respect whom they love.So, I think this is really wrong.For me both are important, love and respect.It feels great when somebody loves you truly but if they don't respect you then whats the point?Love and respect, these both things should be balanced in life.Both are a very important aspect of a good and successful relationship. If a relationship is being carried only on the basis of love and not of respect, it can hurt you anytime.Not only this, if you give others love and respect, then only you can get love and respect together.So, I would say "give" and "take". Then you will surely get both and lead a happy life.

Hi, you know that 90% from relations are just pure attraction, and people think that is love; love is something who come unconditional, no matter in what conditions, no matter distance, age, religion or cultural difference; to respect somebody, is something more...you like him for what he is, for what he do, for how he act in all life situations....is very hard to have both, but if i want something from somebody, i want respect, because somebody respect me, love is near...if just love me, and respect, step by step our relation will be soon just atraction, instincts, i am right?

Yes..you know all peoples want to feel butterfly in the stomach, is something who make us forgot about this hard life...but; this is nice, our emotions are great, but after a time, when you will know that your lover don t respect you, step by step the butterfly wil die, or they will fly away....but when you respect somebody, for all what he is, will come a time when feel atraction too, because we are human...and when like somebody is easy to love him....atracttion is great....but is not all

Yea you are 100% right.Actually I didn't even think about.I really now think that respect can lead the relationship forward.If love is near, and when you both day by day respect each other every time, then your partner will love you as well as give respect to you. You can't force somebody to love you but everybody give others respect for sure. So, when they respect each other, love automatically enters their heart.Do you agree me?

Hi there, i have other opinion, respect don t come with love...you can love so much somebody, and you really don t know the reasons you love him, even you don t agree how he act or how he treat you....love is blind, but are person who you respect and don t love, don t feel atraction, even you want love him for his qualities, you can t; is wonderful to love and respect same time....but is hard;

I also believe that respect and love must be partners. A relationship without respect wont last. How could you say that you love the person if you cant even respect him as an individual?

Is possible, why peoples say that love is blind? Do you love somebody because is the most honest, smart , who don t make mistakes? I know people who are in love with people who are in jail because they kill somebody...they love, but don t respect...so, in my opinion is possible, but of course that the best situation is when you can have both, respect and love;

Respect and love are both important however what is the use to be with someone you love when the person is not respecting you at all so respect overrides love sometimes, I respect my boyfriend and the love for him increases whenever I find him respecting me more and more in daily life.

Some one to love me is the best as i know that if there is love i would like to think that the person would also respect me as well.I think that respect and love do not turn up over night but it do take a while to know that there is love there.Happy Mylotting.

dear ice,
both love and respect go together because if one is missing, the feeling would be fake. when you love someone, you will respect his being and vice versa.
i respect my parent and i love them, one example.

Hi, you right, ...you can have right;but you can love somebody, but don t respect him, because don t like how he think, how he act in life, so...i adore my mother, i love she a lot, i can give my life for she, but she don t have my respect, because make some big mistake in life; is strange, but sometimes as i say before, love is blind

Frankly speaking i like to be respected than to be loved as love follows respect in every relationship.

Love and respect are always synonymous when it comes to close friendships and relationships. Is there love without respect? How can one love a person without respect and admiration for him/her. But then there can respect without love per se. For eg. if you like someone for their impressive manners it doesn't amount to love. So it depends on how close a person is, to like them love you or respect you.

Love and respect should come along together. if you love, you respect a person. if you respect a person, you love them.
As my experience with my ex. He tends to say that he love me but in the end he never respected me. He ruin my life and my dignity as a person.
In respect, you need not to say any words. The action is there and the love shows.
There comes the saying, Action speaks louder than Words.
I really agree with the saying. No need to say any single word, just do it. Only in the action you can know the sincerity of the person.
In this, the Respect is more greater value of love. Because you respect, you love.

For my husband, love and respect go hand in hand. For us respect means appreciating the person for who they are, and not trying to change them. Respect is not about power and authority for us, it's about treating the other person the way they deserve to be treated, as a human being.

You need to have both love and respect together. If you tell someone you love them with your whole heart and soul but do not respect them it would be hard for them to believe you because you do not respect them. You need to respect the feeling of the people you love.
