I believe there is love but there is a difference beteween loving someone and being "in love'. The reason many people are getting divorced now a days is because they don't think they were "in love". They know they loved the person but loving someone is a lot different then being "in love with them". I know from expierience many people are divorcing. One of my aunts is divorced and one of my uncles is planning on getting a divorce. Don't let the fact that many people are getting divorced ruin your thoughts about love.

I believe in love. My divorce was final the day before Thanksgiving and I believe in love. Love sometimes fades, like a pair of levi's....but real love, twin soul love never does, it stays with you through all of your lives.

Yeah I believe in love. I mean yeah it can hurt you at times but it can also be the most magical thing that ever happens in your life. I mean, I'm in love now and it hurts sometimes but then it just brightens up my day. There is nothing that can compare to the way you feel when your in love. I mean after me and my boyfriend broke up I tried doing drugs just to get that feeling. But it never came until me and him were back together. I definately believe in love. NOTHING can replace that feeling.

I believe that love is one of the greatest experiences in life. But what a lot of people fail to understand is that it takes a great deal more than just love between two people to make a relationship or a marriage work.

Successful and lasting relationships require both individuals to have a good deal of patience, understanding, communication skills, commitment and the wisdom to make prudent decisions.. Obviously not everyone possesses the qualities and skills that make someone a good candidate for marriage and parenthood. They don’t teach this in school and you don’t usually learn it from your parents. As a result, way too many people are basing their relationship choices entirely on love alone without understanding or caring about looking for the right qualities and character in choosing a partner. This is not the only reason for failed marriages but I believe it is one of major reasons.
