Do you believe in true love? Why or why not? Have you experienced it?

Question

My husband and I have been together for 8 years (since I was 17 and he was 21). When we were first together things were "magical". We got married about 3 years after dating and things continued that way, it was so blissful! We then went through some hard times (I had depression/anxiety and a really stressful job, he lost his job, we were dead broke, etc) but now we are out of that and I feel like I'm even MORE in love with him. We made it through all that tough stuff and I feel like we accomplished so much growing together. Anyway, I am 25 and he is 30 and I swear I am more in love with him now than I ever have been. He's wonderful and I can't imagine being with anyone else or without him in general. He is everything to me and the greatest friend I could ever ask for. What's your view on love?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as true love.

That only happens in the movies and fairy tales.

Answer 2

I don't think there is any such thing as a soul mate but that depends on the definition. If it means someone that complements you in every way, then we probably have a few out there. Congratulations on finding one of them but if things ever go south, dont worry, you will find another.

Answer 3

When i met my hubby i was working third shift at a restaurantt.  He came in the door and it felt like my world tilted.  Like an earthquake (even though i have never been in one).  I knew where he wanted to sit, what he wanted to drink, and what he wanted to eat.  We have been through our ups and downs and still know that when we go to bed at night we will talk about our day, say i love you, and a quick kiss.  I know that i will always love him and can trust that he will feel the same way.  I also knew that first night that i was in trouble :).  We have been married for eight years now and have two great kids.  Both of us have gone to school and followed dreams that we didnt think we would have otherwise.  I can hope others will feel that way too.

Answer 4

I am experiencing it now. I met him about 2 years ago and we have been stuck like glue ever since. We are everything to eachother and we hardly ever "fight". By fighting I mean quietly being upset until we have time to sit down and sort it out. We just have total adoration for eachother. He has my back I have his. We have a 7 month old baby and plan on having more. He is my soulmate. I never even believed in those things but now I definetly do. We are just always there for eachother and almost every night we sit quietly and stare into eachothers eyes, and it always brings us to tears because our love is so powerful. You are lucky because you found it early. I am 27 so it took me awhile and quite a few idiots.  

Answer 5

I believe that there is a soul-mate for each of us out there somewhere, but as for me, I have never experienced anything faintly resembling true love.  

I am truly happy for you that you have found your soul-mate, it is wonderful to hear!

Answer 6

after dating around a lot i went through a lot of short term relationships 16 to be exact ranging from a week to a lil more than a month.  This all happened within 1.5 years or so.  i'm currently with a girl( first long term one ever) and we've already been together for 3 years now.  

Personally after all of that, I use to state true love and blah blah, but now i realize to me "true love" was just a state of mind rather than a mathematical physical thing.  What i mean by that is, there isn't some "1 in a million for you" there isn't one that was "meant for you" one that  "fits you" When you meet a girl and you are compatible with her, you feel that way, but true love  itself has no real odds/physical distinction.  True love to me is like when you know this is the girl you'll end up with.  

Your hardships probably made you love him more because in your mind you subconsciously thought if you 2 could get through a hardship as hard as that you know you 2 can get through any thing.  Any thing that stands the trials of time is said to be great.

Answer 7

Yes.

But most people never will never find their true love. Even then, sometimes "true loves" are not meant to be together, one of the unfair aspects of life.

If he is your true love, be grateful and work hard to never take the marriage for granted.

Answer 8

I think love - I'm talking TRUE love - is extremely rare..  I know couples, like you & your husband seem to be, that just seem to be made for each other.  If it weren't for them, I wouldn't believe in love at all.  

I think a lot of people just settle & end up miserable with a person they don't really love.

Answer 9

hey I'm 17 and my bf is 21 :)

I believe in true love but don't believe it comes easy. My boyfriend and i have also been though tough times and have come out even stronger. People say I'm too young to know true love but i know in my heart that i am experiencing true love, because anthony my boyfriend is my best friend and my boyfriend We've been together for 3 years now. I miss him when hes been gone for a few minutes. True love is also about honesty, trust and loyalty. Especially communication too we talk everyday, we always find a way to communicate and even us being together has brought our families together. Love really is the most amazing but unexplainable feeling in the world. I know for a fact its love because we both have each other best interest at heart  and we bought promise rings for each other to promise our love to each other. :)
