I often read in a romantic novel that love means sacrifation. Really? Wuld you sacrifice yourself in order to be loved? Would you sacrifice your soul for the one you love??

True! Love means sacrifice. But i sure do hope that i am not the only one doing sacrifices and compromises! I am hoping that the guy would do the same.

i think love is a sacrafice, but one somone would be willing to make it for the right person. Its pain and tears and suffering but its also joy and comfort and hope. When you love someone you get butterflys everytime you c them, and even though at times its hard to think that you can ever want all this, love is so worth it.

love doesnt mean sacrifation. love is a kind of feeling which you show on ur loved ones. In order to make ur loved ones happy u need to sacrifice few things sometimes. but doesnt mean that someone shioul sacrifice there life for someone whom they love

I don't think "sacrifice" is the right word: I think COMPROMISE is the better word for it. I don't think you should have to SACRIFICE anything of yours; your goals or dreams or certain possessions. I think you should reach out and meet your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse HALFway. In my opinion, it's not about giving everything up - but is about compromising.

I've already did a lot of sacrifices when it comes to love. And Ive realized its not worthed. But hey! Im not saying I dont believe in love anymore. It's just that I have sacrificed for a wrong person and thats no other than my husband. He never realized it and never give important with it at all. And in the end we have decided to part ways. So girls, no matter how much you love your man, just keep something for yourself. Dont give and sacrifice everything for him. Love should be a 2 way traffic, a give and take relationship. If you love him so, let him realized it and give importance to what we feel and do things for them.

No i won't sacrifice my soul it is not mine to give. We say loving is the same as sacrificing. But it doesn't mean it is sacrificing your self, coz if you do that you won't find happiness and I think that is not true love. maybe we say their are sacrifices that is in the sense of your priorities.

yes i agree with that statement. Someone once said you never learn to love if you hadnt suffer. One can not tell if you truly love someone if there hadnt be a test before that involves something like suffering and sacrifice. Its easy to say "i love you" when all is happiness and there is no suffer/sacrifice in between. If there is some suffering or sacrifice people who dont really love the other one could do the easy thing and stay away from that relationship, and yeah that wouldnt mean it was real love.

I think that if it is true love, there should be no reason for sacrifice. No, I would not give my soul because it is not mine to give. I want love as much as anyone else but not if that means I have to give up something.

it's true, my friend. In the real world, I often find people who sacrifice for their beloved ones. This is a problem with someone who you trust and love is the trust that is not easy to understand for people who do not feel it

It depends on the love. If love requires a sacrifice so it can be, then I guess it's fair to make the sacrifice. But it's really abd and unhealthy to make sacrifices so the other one doesn't have to. It gotta be a balance of giving and taking, or it won't work at all.

Of course love means sacrifices. There need to be compromises all the time. Loving you for who you are has nothing to do with marriage or relationships. It's very niave to think that you will get things the way you want them just because your partner loves you. Some relationships require more compromises and sacrifices than others but it's impossible to have absolutely none. That's just a failure.

People will love me for who I am and if they don't then tough. Love shouldn't be a sacrifice or shouldn't need sacrifice to exist. It just is! :D
