Love is not about the quantity of time

Some people say that love is tested on how long you've stayed in a relationship. But for me, love is not about how long the relationship reaches. But it is all about how you make every single second memorable to both of you.

That is true! There are couples who married just after being together for a few months but lasted more than 50 years together and there are those who stayed married for 20 years and still got separated. It is always the quality of the relationship that we have that truly counts.

My opinion. sometimes you shouldn't need to label what kind of relationship you have with your special someone. Sometimes, love moves in a very simple way like starting as friend. And the magic will begin when friendship has become genuine and deeper...

what i mean to say is, love does not depend on how long your relationship is, but how long you know each other and enjoy each other.

Love has everything to do with time.. in time you will learn to love (more) in time you will get to know eachother more and more.. and time, esp. bad times will make you get closer, love more... or divorce/end the relationship.

I agree. Love should not be measured by time you've been in a relationship. You may wonder that there are people who marry someone even though he/she just met that person. We may call that love. But sometimes, love vanishes as soon as you see some things about your partner that disappoints you. So, it is still important to take the time and not to hurry getting married. Just enjoy each other's company. Cherish the love and moments together.

You seem to be talking about the quality of the relationship people invest with time as well. This only I believe a consolation on a kind of relationship that fails. Trying to console yourself that what you had was worthwhile enough so it does not matter whether it is short or long.
On the other hand, you may also be pointing another consolation for the lack of time each of you is giving out for the other. Why not try to make the relationship longer with the combination of quality time and moments being together?

I agree with you, many lovers stayed in a relationship many years. But their relationship broken up. Lovers can not leave each other, their lover become a indispensable part of their life. I think it is love

I think the length of a relationship does matter actually. It shows how dedicated you are to the relationship. My husband and I have been together for 9 years now, we have been through so much in that time and it shows how strong our love is for each other. No matter what we have gone through we made it through. So, for me time does matter...
