What is love? About true love
We often confuse infatuation or affection for true love. Let us discover what is true love?
As long as being in the love relationship with someone brings us happiness we don’t analyze their nature. But when conflicts arise and there is a threat of separation, it seems the right time to think whether our so-called “love relationships” are actually of true love. So what is love? Moreover, what is true love? Is there real love connection involved with what we call falling in love? Maybe real love is more than only a feeling? Missing someone, being absolutely obsessed, having a sexual desire, wanting the best for each other: these all can be found in love relationships, but are they parts of true love?

Let’s try to unravel the meaning of love and what the true love is. |
