Is love really forever?

Question

This bothers me so much. I'm so in love with this guy i've been with since i was 17yrs old. (I'm almost 20) Lot's of Joy, Tears, Pain, and a baby on the way, we are even engaged. Sometimes i wonder why i let myself get so caught up, because i cant really see myself being with him for the rest of my life (I can, but then i cant) It seems impossible to share your life with just one person, and be happy for the rest of your life. I've never even seen it before. Everyone i know, that gets married, starts out madly in love, and then divorced in a matter of only a few years. I don't want that, and i'm scared of it. Its like sometimes i don't want to be in love, because somethings bound to go wrong, then your headed down divorce lane, and starting all over again. So is there anything that can make love truly last forever?

Answer 1

if its true love, it lasts forever and never dies, but goes on strongly.

you bond strongly by doing more things together like swimming, sports, going out to restaurants, having long chats ect.

hope this helps ;)

Answer 2

It's not common for love to last forever, but we shouldn't expect it to. People grow and change over time, so why does it seem the least bit odd that after that occurs, 2 people might not be a good match anymore?

It's not a bad thing, it's just the way things often happen. Some people hang in there and stick it out anyway...some people do actually remain in love...and some go their separate ways to be alone or to seek out someone who is a good match for the person they are today.

"Forever" sounds nice, and it does sometimes happen but to be realistic, don't expect it. You two will stay together as long as it is good and right for you both (hopefully), and that could be a week, a month, a year, or until one of you dies. Time will tell.

Answer 3

there is nothing you can do to make love truly last. you can love as many people as you want but there is only one person that you can be truly in love with. you have to think about this before you get married because if you get married and you dont want to be, your baby will be needing some help with the parents section. so just think about it. and just know that there is someone out there for everyone and if your really in love with him everything will be fine.

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

love is complicated. love can fade. the way to make it last is to keep things interesting. do things that you enjoy together to keep the friendship and interesting conversation there. don't be afraid of love enjoy it! if you think it will go wrong it will! you both need to find the balance between too close and to far appart if you love it to last. good luck

Answer 6

I really believe that when you are truly committed to someone, you move through the stages of love together.  Marriage is about what you can bring to another person and how wonderful you can make their life.  When you begin with this mindset, your rewards are great.  I would say that being really committed to sharing a life together is the strongest bond you can make.

There are days when you won't feel any love at all, and those can be scary.  There will be days when you don't even want to talk to the other person or spend time with them.  But you get through those times if you are committed.

Marriage isn't about feeling blissfully happy all the time -- life doesn't work that way.  Your friends who are divorced probably aren't much happier than they were when they were married.  Marriage is about building a life with someone.

Your baby needs you to model commitment and love through your marriage.  Your baby needs the stability of your marriage.  I know it's scary, but it's life.  And when you weather the tough times, you'll find that you have something richer and better than you could have known before.

Love is always a choice to act a certain way.  It's nice when you have gushy feelings, but trust me -- nothing makes this more clear than being a parent -- love is mostly about what you can give to another person.

Best of luck--
