Yeah.Do you believe that you never really know the true meaning of love until ...?
yes
I don't believe that you need to have children to know the true meaning of love. I don't want to be harsh, but are you saying that those who cannot have children never know a true and strong love? There are many types of love, and the love for a child of your own is just one of many that can fill your heart.
I AGREE 100 %
I too believe this to be true. I do though deeply love my husband, my brother, parents, best friend etc.. %26amp; believe that is also real love but, there is something I feel, that is diffrent about the love of your children.
Maybe for some but not necessarily for all. Every person is different and each who finds the meaning of true love will find it in their own way in their own time. It is good that so many find it with their children but sad that many do not, even many who think they have. A woman, my wife, taught me how to love completely, eternally, and my granddaughter not even of my blood, taught me how to extend that love to unconditionally, but until I can learn to love all people similarly, I have not found true love.
So true. It is the only truly unselfish love, it is unconditional
and expects nothing in return.
I always said I would die for my children, then I had grandchildren and I would die twice for them. The love
just keeps growing.
Yes I know what you mean. there is a bond there like no other and I don't know how old your children are, but it doesn't change , even when they are grown up, your heart aches when they hurt and you rejoice when things are going right for them
wow i never thought of it that way before. I suppose its a blood and flesh bond :)
There is no love like the love you have for a child. My son was the greatest gift God ever gave me but when my grandson was born I can not explain to you the love I felt for him. As he grows my love grows. I call him my little angel and every time he does something his parents tell him is wrong or bad he ask me ,'; ma maw, am I still you little angel?';
Yes, I think I do know the meaning of true love.
that is so true, my life turned around after having a baby girl. i used to be a spoiled brat, but that changed. now i am so selfless and only thinks of whats best for other person, my baby.. everytime i look at her, whats going on in my mind is how i love and treasure you
I think that is so true because i have a 2 year old son that i love the most in the world he means the world to me and when they just out of the blue comes up to u and gives u a kiss on the check or a hug and says i love u mommy that just melts ur heart into a million pieces its like u dont force them to love you they love u no matter what... threw all the hard times and bad u will always have the love of ur kids..
I agree 100%. The purest love I've ever known has been the love I feel for my children. Just think GOD love us even more because HIS love is perfect.
Loving your kids and loving your husband is two different types of true love i think. When your kids grow up and get married move away and get there own life, you still love them unconditionally but the love you have for for hubby is equally the same. As you get older you worry one day they might not be there and that is just as painfull as loosing a child believe me i know i speak from experience.
You don't have to have kids to know true love. My wife and I were married for almost 38 years before she died unexpectedly. You know the true meaning of love when you have lost it.
Love is sacrifice. Always considering other of more importance that's love
I have never had children, but I feel I have known the true meaning of love. It just might not be the unconditional love a parent has for their child.
I too believe it. There is nothing more precious than your kids! No matter what brats they are when they are ';teenagers';. I would not have missed one moment without sharing good and bad times with them.
Great question by the way! :) A * for you!
Edit! Opps ... there is someone equally as precious ... that is my 6 grandkids! ;-) Love for a spouse is special and always will be - but kids and grandkids are ';special'; ;-)
Nothing in the world can compare to the rush of love one feels when they hold their own child....I am a man, but having part of creation cuddled in my arms was the ultimate love for me....And the second one only increased the ability to love....Something about this innocent, dependent being looking up and cooing and smiling just tugs on your heart strings.....My youngest would crawl to me like a little worm, and tug on my pants leg....I would pick him up, and he would lay on my chest in the recliner, with his head against my chin....The older one would then climb aboard, and lay on my legs, with his face cradled in his hands, and we would watch TV, and laugh and have the best times.....I have never had anything in my life, that could compare to the love I have for my children.........
I'm childfree, and I don't believe your theory.
This is so true Eileen. When I had my first child I think my heart grew 10 sizes and the love I felt for that little being was all consuming. Then my second son came and my love grew.
Funny, my mother always said that too...lol
I never knew that love could be so encompassing and unconditional, I love them no matter what they do. My boys are now 25 and 24 and are still my babies...lol
My mom used to say that to me too...I think I was 35 at the time and she was fussing about me eating right or something and I told her I wasn't a baby...She said You will be my baby until the day I die....I now know what she meant.
But this statement also applies to those who cannot or don't want to have children. The love they feel for each other, their pets etc is the same true love that most feel for their children..
Friends of mine could not have children so they named their pets the names they would have chosen had they had children. So they have a dog Blake, and two cats Samantha and Sara.
I remember one night we were out for dinner and Helen was saying..';Well I came home from work and Blake had pooped on the floor and Samantha and Sara had torn the drapes down and the house was in total disarray.'; LOL...you shoulda seen the waitress's face and she said ';Oh dear they were having a party, were they? I have teenagers too...';
LOL....we never let on...that she was talking about her pets...lol
I guess what I am saying is that we all can feel true love...whether it be for our children, our pets, or whatever...
Take care
XXXXXXXXXXXX
