New Definition of Love

Singapore
March 25, 2012 8:58am CST
Hi, I've just saw an advertisement stating "Love is not about finding the right person but about building the right relationship". I've never thought of this definition of love and always thought that love should be about searching the right partner that you truly love. Somehow, this definition gives the impression that building the right relationship is more important. How far do you agree with this statement and how would you interpret this statement?

Hi,minotaur~ I would say it's partially right.There is no perfect partner in this world.Everybody has a certain type of defects.And to have a longstanding relationship,we have to work it out.That means we have to tolerate some of our partners' defects and look at the good points of them.And it also means to change ourselves for our loved ones.It is a long and winding road,though. But finding the right person is still important.If our partners are totally different from us and wouldn't make a change at all for us,then no matter how hard we try to work the relationship out,it wouldn't last. Have a nice day~ Sarah

I agree with you. All of us are not perfect. We have defects. Sometimes, we also begin to love those defects of our love. That is the true meaning of love.

Yup,that happens sometimes.Some defects may look adorable to you if that one is a special person to you.

this is very true. Love is just finding the right person to experience love with him. To see the love in his eyes. because there is nothing better than to feel the warm touch and know that this is the man that is the right time for love. to know that now is the time for love and now it's time to love this one person. nice day!

I love your response. Yes. The right person should also be the one whom you love. We can never say that he is the right person if you don't love him or he doesn't love you, and you're just living together for hope of building a good relationship.

Love has many definitions, but the interpretation solely depends upon individuals who are in the situation. No matter how hard you try to build a right relationship it will be useless if your feelings were not mutual, because there are times that we think our relationship was going strong yet your partner does not feel the same way, then it would be hard for you to accept that the RIGHT relationship that you are building up is unfortunately a WRONG one.

I strongly agree with you! If the feeling is not mutual, what will happen? I can't imagine waking up in the morning with the man I don't love. I can't also imagine seeing him everyday.

I've never looked at it that way but now that I think about it, it seems about right. It's very important to get the most you can out of a relationship. It's important to communicate and try to make things work. Sometimes it doesn't, at least then you know. But when it does it's really worth a lot. I like this stating.

Well, we can define love in a thousand ways or even more than that. Love is not bound in one's heart or mind but true love goes beyond the understanding of man. Building the right relationship has a lot of implication and meaning. Right relationship in what area? Truly a right relationship would be desired in all areas of our lives. May it be in business, in marriage, in family, in friendships, in organizations, in government, etc. There is no single interpretation about the statement and you are free to explore for yourself if it's something you want to know more.

i belive love is what is in yur heaart and how you feel about your relationship and the partner that is in it with you as long you and partner are happy then i belive that is love . love is how you feel and how ytou were raised because if you are raised without love chances are you will not affectionatly show your love ithe way you want to .. im not sure really it is how ever you feel about someone is what ive always thought but what you are saying makkes sense because withought building a proper relation ship and no ing how to talk to eachother is very important you need comminucation to build a relatuonship and trust...

For building the right relationship, one must have the right person for it. A clap cannot sound one handedly.

i think this advert is wrong ,no matter how you try ,you can never build the right relation ship with the wrong partner . a partner who came into the relationship with a different reason which is quite different from yours can never build a relationship with you because two of you will always be working at cross purposes.therefore when you find the right partner for you the relationship builds itself
