…and through relationships we can explore forgiveness, acceptance, peace, patience, and again unconditional love…and it’s about finding this inner happiness within ourselves first and then sharing or bringing this happiness to the other…

I believe that romantic love is only one part of love. Many people go through relationships with only romantic love and that’s why most relationships these days don’t last very long and are not really fulfilling. I’m writing this based from my experience. True love is when you are connected with someone spiritually, emotionally, mentally, energetically, and romantically. It is more than just romantic love, but it really feels as though you are connected with the other person on a soul level, like you are ONE and once you feel the sense of oneness, you start to feel that sense of connection with everything in life and spirituality. You began to realize you are a soul in physical form. Experiencing true love allows us to open our hearts, mind, body, and soul. I also believe the reason why some of us go through love relationships with other people is to learn more about ourselves and how to love unconditionally.

I would write the same things, but with other words maybe, as Ben. Romantic love cannot be described. We are so similar, and so different at the same time, our feelings depend on so many things like gender, age, maturity, personal view about life, our experience etc. and absolutely depend on the object of our romanric feelings. So love is not a constant perception even for an individual person. If I put my love into words it would be automatically underestimated. For me it doesn’t matter what are the components of Love, it seems that they vary for everyone of us, as long as they are kept in balance – in one moment passion may prevail, in other moment it is friendship and commitment – no matter what the proportion is, as long as all the components exist.
