Do you believe there is a limit to love?

Question

I want to clarify right from the start that I am not talking about abusive violent relationships or ones where one of them can't seem to stop sleeping with everyboby they can. I am talking about a God given special kind of love like in the Titanic or The Notebook. First do you believe this exists and if you actually have it what would you be willing to endure for it? Not all love is this kind it is rare to find it but things happen missunderstandings that are not talked about and that grow inside your mind until that is how you see everything said or done, but the love is still there. What do you do then? What would you do if you were the one who felt wronged or the one who was left because the other one felt you didn't trust them but you really did. In this particular case I will say I have had several other relationships that were not good or healthy they were the kind I mentioned above but this one isn't anything like that. But I have fears of rejection and abandonment and we have always talked about them and I work through them by not being afraid to talk to him about them . He always took it personal when I repeatedly told him it had nothing to do with him. Well I expressed feelings along this line a week or so ago and he said enough is enough I wasn't trusting him or his love for me when I really was. This hurts unbelievably and I wonder is there really such a thing as a love that can't die? If you surrender your whole heart to someone and truly love them no matter the circumstances what then? do you fight for it? Do you just let them go and go through the rest of your life with this love for them and wait til Heaven where they say "Sooo sorry honey I didn't know what I was doing"? If you are the guy do you think his feelings about this are justified? would you feel this way and why? PLS only real heartfelt answers.

Answer 1

I would lay down my life for my wife.  Just as Christ laid down his life for me.  I think any taking a few minutes browsing through the Bible would concluded that there is no limit to True Love.

Answer 2

true love  don't have no limit.

Answer 3

Droppy is right. If he left you then he didn't really love you in the first place. If he really loved you he would have stayed and helped you with what you were going through. It sounds like the love was only one way in your case. You really loved him a lot. But he didn't love you enough to stay. Yes there is a such thing as Love can't die. You just have to find the right guy. And believe me that's a hard thing to do. It took me a long time to find my husband.

Answer 4

There is no limit on true love

Answer 5

no Connie I do not believe there is a limit to love. I have been in love with the same man for a few years now but 6 months ago we had a misunderstanding( a realitively minor one) It was I who stopped talking to him and taking his calls and texts. I felt hurt and wouldn't even listen to him. But after I found out that he took a job that took him out of the country, from his mother, my heart fell. He left because he couldn't handle the rejection from me and he will be gone for 5 yrs because of his job contract. His mother tells me he asks about me everytime he calls or writes. I was a fool, I know it, there is no limit to what someone should do for love. The best couples,marriages etc are those where people were committed enough to each other to stay through all the hurt feelings and all the problems life brings. Hurt feelings are the very least of these. I am trying to get in touch with him to apologize and hope to be able to reconcile this love I have for him. I will endure what it takes if given a chance because how do I go through the rest of my life loving him and he is not in it? I also pray that your love will be able to return to you one day. I hope you will be able to forgive him because we all make mistakes..

Answer 6

Love is patient, love is kind; it does not envy, it does not boast (or is not proud); it is not arrogant or rude, it does not insist on its on way; it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love NEVER ends.

1 Corinthians 13:4 - 8.  Actually, this doesn't quite finish verse 8.  It goes on like this through verse 12:

As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

This passage actually is meant to describe the love of God, and how our understanding of that will change as we grow, and after death.  It also describes a unique quality of love, which is to know someone with great intimacy.  God knows our qualities, and all people deeply desire (and fear) being known.  It both entrances us and frightens us.

It also speaks of how our perceptions will change after we die.

But, back to love.  This verse is love's ideal.  Marriage is meant to be an illustration of God's loving relationship with us, so yes.  Love never ends.
