Is romantic love the most important love of all?

Question

Friendlyexperienced · Accepted Answer

Overall, I'd have to say no and I say one way to find out is to experience all forms. Interesting I say that because of example I'm going to use...

Picture it; on a beautiful fall day you, your spouse, and your baby are on a road trip. On your way home from an amazing weekend vacation and everything is perfect between you and your spouse and both have this deep love for your baby. While driving along having great conversation and appreciating the sites, all-of-a-sudden a 30 foot truck slams into you. Now the vehicle is turned over, baby is strapped in, and spouse is partially crushed under dashboard and seat. Spouse is ok and conscious, but can't get out on their own. There's a fire blazing in the back and you only have about 2 minutes to get out your baby and your spouse. Thing is you know it's going to take almost full 2 minutes to get the baby or your spouse out and safely away from vehicle before it blow's.

Though some people might go for spouse, I'm willing to bet most will go for baby. Therefore, my answer is parents love for a child is most important. Earlier I said interesting about my example, it's because I'm not parent. I'm also aware this is just my point of view and this is just one example. Life can present many others that may have us looking at decisions we don't want, but don't have much time to decide.

No unconditional love is. Second is self love loving yourself (and no I don't mean by jerking yourself off) I mean by valueing who you are as a person. Third would be romantic. Followed by love for others

Love in general is the most important! There are different levels of love.. Romantic love is not guaranteed to last, but unconditional love is forever and that is what we should aim for!

It's good to have all kinds of love, emotional love, mental love, and physical love. Love doesn't have to be just romantic, getting platonic love is also good as well.

No the most important love is one where you are willing to lay down your life for another like Christ did for everyone

No, I think familial love is most important, at least to me. I'm very close with my family and very family-oriented.

ShortCircuit · Answer

Depends on what factors you believe makes something important. I do think romantic love is the most fulfilling, because it is entirely by choice. Of course, your family members could just abandon you if they wanted to, so you could still say they chose to love you, but it's not the same as specifically selecting you out of 3.5 billion people--not even close.

SOARER_ · Answer

No, its familial love. Romantic love is useful in so far as it creates families.
Romantic love does feel amazing and is the best/most enjoyable stage/phase of love, but familial love tends to be much more firm, long lasting, and beneficial in my opinion.

FatherJack · Answer

No , one of the least important , as it is always conditional , there is no such thing a unconditional love between woman and man , women and men have vastly different needs and wants and are very differently wired. Love for children , even when they are a pain , is much more important. Many of us also love other animals too , and some of us can form a stronger bond with other species , than our own , my daughter & I sorely miss our beloved , late ferret , Miss Woolworth , lost in July.

I think parental love is more important even if it doesn't always feel as good. And that love typically doesn't end when it stops feeling good.

dragoblack · Answer

For those who say romantic love doesn't matter, take romantic love for granted because of bad experiences. Romantic love is incredibly important and a part of our genetic need. It's part of why people can die from loneliness.
