What Does It Mean to Love Someone?
Quote of the Day:
“Love is really… a recognition of another person’s integrity and truth.” Robert Graves
Meaning of the Quote:
To love someone is to accept them for who they truly are and allow them to blossom in the fullness of all that they can be without trying to alter who they really are.
Discussion of the Quote:
Each person has his/her integrity and truth and to love that person is to recognize their integrity whatever that may be as well as to accept their truth as their own and not what you really want it to be.
Furthermore, loving someone should allow you to see that person as they are and to love all aspects of who they are and not just loving the parts that you want to love and reject the other aspects of who they are. To love a person is to love all of them with no exception. You have to love the embodiment of all that they are. It means taking the bitter with the sweet and the bad with the good.
Final Thoughts:
Love is blind and so shall it be. You have to be blind but not oblivious to the not so good parts of who they are but loving them anyway. After all, don’t you want someone to love all of who you are as well even the not so pretty side of you?
Love should be unconditional and wholehearted. You have to give it your all and recognize that person for all that they are, could be and will become.
I appreciate your time, comments and likes.

Love is definitely sacrifice for the one you love with no thought to yourself, Nichola!

Nice post Nichola.
I'll jump in on this one as it's so easy to answer. For me respect is key - you must have respect for your partner. This is nothing to do with their job or income but rather for them as a person - do they show compassion and kindness to others? Are they willing to step out of their comfort zone and have an adventure?
Accept someone as they are for sure. If you try and change them you don't love them - you'll just mould them into someone you want them to be. That's not love.
I don't think love is blind. We all have faults and accepting your partner's faults (not being blind to them) is key here.
I like your comment about what 'they could be and will become'. This is where supporting and encouraging each other is so important in a relationship.
Remember as well looks fade. Attraction is far more important - you don't have to be good-looking to be attractive. When the first rush of passion wears off it needs to be replaced by something - if you just go on looks alone there will be nothing to replace it.
Finally, what's the most important thing in a relationship? For me the answer is .......
TRUST
If someone is unfaithful they break that trust - it will never come back. Talk about it - maybe some couples want an open relationship. If they both agree then they don't break trust. However, if you both agree to remain faithful to each other then do it. If not you let your partner down and yourself. If you truly love someone you won't want anyone else. I'm a one women guy and remain faithful if I fall in love - I expect the same in return if we make that promise to each other.
I'm waffling on so will be quiet now.

Very interesting Nichola, and I am sure many of us have different definitions to what love actually is!!
For me, we all have faults, nobody is perfect after all!
But looking through those faults and accepting the one we love the most witout ever trying to change them is right up there...
But I have to agree with my buddy Paul here... TRUST is the vital ingredient here...
Without trusting someone fully, we may think that we still love them unconditionally, but... deep down, do we really??
Appreciate the thought provoking post as always my friend and enjoy the rest of your weekend! :-)
