Is romantic love the most important love of all?

Question

Miristheiss · Accepted Answer

No, it is not. It is the most fun while you are in the honeymoon phase but it is fleeting and 100% dependent on feelings.

Agape, sacrificial, unconditional love is the most important. It is choosing to act lovingly and care for someone, look out for them, take care of their needs and do good to and for them REGARDLESS of how you feel.

A ton of divorces are people expecting to FEEL in love and on cloud nine for 50 straight years. The minute things get routine and mundane and the agape part of their commitment should kick in... to the point of each person focused on giving their partner what they need and proactive action may be needed by both to help keep the passion alive... many just stay selfish and focus on the me, me, me aspect and how they feel... I don't FEEL in love like I did and this co-worker of mine is giving me some feelings so I'm done... I'm moving on to the next thing. I know I said I'd love you forever but I didn't know the "in love" high would end... so bye-bye.

Love comes in different forms sad for romantic love it Passionate love it comes in 3 forms, pure love, real love, true love, there is no importance with love other than it must develop on its own no interference, and over time you must make it your own, you can't copy another's couple love it won't work for you, you must make your perfect for you, at to it take away from it to it's perfect, and romance is a part of that love that's true love, the passion is real love, pure love the highest form of love is unconditional, you achieve this by having complete trust, honesty, understand of for each other, totally, respect most important along with mutual attraction without this last one you will not succeed it all starts with mutual attraction, so there is not one aspect of love that's more of less important over the other, they must be built in stages together once you are in that level it's the most beautiful thing to observe and experience,

I don't think it's that simple. There are lots of different kinds of love, and all are equally meaningful in my eyes. I think it comes down to individual people and which relationships the value the most. For some people it might be their relationship with their kids, so parental love is the most important to them. For someone else it might be their friendships, so familial love is most important. For another it might be self love. And for another it might be the love they have for their partner.
All are important and necessary

I don’t think it’s the most important but we find some ways to make it be because it ought to be. If not the most important then its the most pervasive. But hey that’s me; if you know a Pisces moon or are too and INFJ struggling to be Capricorn too add dude then you’re probably just stressed. I’m still the latter boo. (Not ladder lmao -weeds out , pun intended, the adults but like the adults of adults.) go be 29 somewhere else. anyways peace to you queens and kings- mind is making. Do you fam - I’m just a friend of mind

Romantic whatever is for women who build up this insanity in their heads and feel they are entitled to the insanity. As a man, I’d be happy if those I had been involved with would at least pick up after themselves but they cannot even do that, yet, because they have two X chromosomes they felt entitled to grand gestures, royal treatments, and the flexibility to be as fickle as they please. From my prospective, romantic love can jump off a cliff and crash onto jagged rocks. Romantic love is a one way street that crashes you full speed into a steel reenforced concrete wall... I’m done. I’ve lost that lovin’ feeling. Thank God.

Second only to the love a parent has for their child. I would not want to be with a woman who puts me before her own children and in fact once broke up with a woman because she was willing to give up custody and visitation rights with her children to make it more convenient to move a few hundred miles to be with me. I won't be with a woman who had poor maternal instincts.

MrOracle · Answer

Romantic love feels the best, but it isn't the most important. The most important is "agape" love - the kind that makes people take responsibility for others, make sacrifices for others, etc.

Imagine you are in kidney failure, and your partner is a perfect match with 2 healthy kidneys. Do you want romantic love, with them talking about their romantic feelings for you as you die, or "agape" love where they are donating a kidney to save you?

virtue2332 · Answer

I think self love is the most important love of all. I don't mean we should be selfish but I've gone through periods of time where I wasn't happy with where I was in life. I hated myself at times and was my own harshest critic. It wasn't. until I went to the service that I started to be comfortable with me. If you don't love yourself it creeps into other area

ohshee · Answer

CentralPerk77 · Answer

No. Sometimes the romance part kinda dies away and you realize that person has actually become family and it’s a stronger type of love... it feels more subdued but also so sturdy that its, power (?), (weird word but ok) can make you feel so much more at ease all the time

crazy8000 · Answer

No.

Just one of many different ones to create the whole package.

Just romantic love is immatur love.
rarely works in the long run on it's own.
Very easily fades also if it's not feed in the right way from both partners. ( many female's get this wrong and brick it. usually blames the other one in some way )

fulloffunny33 · Answer

Romantic love although is a great thing is not the most important of all the most important of all in love is when you approach love is a verb. Most people think of love as a noun. The only thing that's going to get you through hard times with whoever you're in love with is to make sure that you treated as a verb and that you give love even in hard times. No matter how you feel you choose to give love to that

throwsomecheeseonit · Answer

No such thing as most important. Love is love. It transcends all things and breaks barriers. One can love someone without being physically or sexually attracted to them. It is a beautiful thing and all love will change the world for the better.

TwistedTube · Answer

I don't think it's the most important but I do think it's the most beautiful. As someone else said here, self love is probably most important.

For me, my wife is second to any children we have, but above family and friends. Children are #1 as I see it and then our lovers.

Love dosen't exist. What you call love is just a chemical cocktail your brain makes to compel you to breed. Its easily replicated in a lab, and even easier to escise from your bieng like the cancer it is

kkirk4442 · Answer

A true love is the most important. That is even better, if it's a romantic love.

Dude_777 · Answer

Not really, if you give it too importance, you will always End up being unhappy and hurt. Love is an emotion, and is very vast.

JediSisko · Answer

No. That always fades. Love is an action in which you are willing the good of another with no thought of yourself, , which is near impossible for humans, is far far more important.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

YES! (My personal opinion.) (Though the Sunday School answer is that God's love is the most important love of all. Which technically is true.)

Dchrls78104 · Answer

No. The most important is called Agape--- love based on principle, which consists of treating people well because it's the right thing to do.
