As soon as my engagement was fixed, I feel my social status reaching a new height, feelings of loved by someone as life partner make me emotionally stronger and in boost my self-confidence many ways. Definitely I had to redesign and reschedule may of my daily activities including related to job and other family activities, I became much more flexible for most of the things. My new significant other supported me for new life after marriage, and for personal growth. His simple and easy behave with me and my parental family reduce my all fear, motivating me to face any future challenges, and built a special confidence for his support in married life. This special loving relationship in the form of marriage brings may surprises of life, feelings of being loved boosts self-esteem and creates a belief in oneself, empowering. Very special thing changing my life was because of "love hormone" - oxytocin, released in trusting relationships, without any stress and anxiety, and it gave me a special mental strength. We both tried to support and lift each other up, creating a balance and turning weaknesses into strengths. This is the most important part of love in everybody’s life. Vulnerability associated with it is not weakness; it is the courageous act of being authentic, to overcome the challenges of life. Love requires see-through true self, including insecurities and fears to make sensitive. but also allows for authentic connection. In short, love is a balance—it brings the vulnerability of trusting new person as life partner. In initial stage, love makes vulnerable to some extent because it needs to lower emotional defences, exposing authentic self, and risking hurt and trusting someone hiding all deepest insecurities, to establish and strengthen intimacy. Vulnerability in new love relationship is not inherently weakness; it is a vital part of fostering deep intimacy, trust, and long-term connection.
Love is our greatest gift and hope and it is a combination of both of these things.
Seks is not love
Dating is not love
Talking to someone 24 hrs a day/ 7 days a week is not love
Laying up all night for someone is not love
Love is seeing your absolute worst and still loving you the same
It is somebody making stuff happen for you when you can't
It is somebody holding you and calming you down while you are pouring your eyes out
It is somebody voicing all the good things about you
when all you see is the bad
It is somebody praying for you
It is somebody that can hear you when you are quiet
It is somebody that is faithful behind your back
It is somebody that will cut off anybody that makes you feel uncomfortable
Somebody that can make you laugh and smile when you are down.
Somebody that chooses you everyday
That is what true love is
If you ever get it don't play with that.
All you can do is give love and protect yourself as best you can. You do not have any say otherwise what comes back to you, or how it comes back to you. Yes, most the time love is a losing proposition. And it's up to each individual person to decide if those moments are worth it.
There's and old saying that everyone you care about is going to hurt you. You just have to decide who is worth bleeding for. I'll hemmoragge gallons of blood for those that I love (little cuts at a time). But that doesn't come immediately. In short, they have to convince my heart over time that they are worth bleeding for.
It has to be the right kind of love
For instance: if the person you love sees your potential, you will naturally gravitate towards becoming that person
That’s strength
But: if love gives someone the power to manipulate you and the loss of that love leaves you broken then it’s a vulnerability
And both are not mutually exclusive
I’m here on GAG to decode all the messy, magical stuff we call love 💋
Love does both. It makes you vulnerable because you open your heart, drop your guard, and give someone the power to hurt you. But that same vulnerability, when it’s with the right person, makes you stronger, more confident, more secure.
Toxic love drains you. Healthy love builds you.
I always like these AI answers. Excellent use of the English language!

Love is a four letter word. It can make you vulnerable, stronger, and crazy.
Many people, when in love, do stupid things. My first was like this. It was like Romeo and Juliet. We just didn't die at the end. I felt like I was, but that was just first love.
It can make you stronger. With my wife, I felt like there wasn't anything I couldn't do. And I would do anything for her. I caught a movie a while back, something about werewolves, vampires, zombies, aliens, and relationships. The boy appeared normal. His girlfriend, kind of a pot head who had sex with everyone but him, wasn't liked by his crush, who was a virgin. But, they had the opposite reputations, with the virgin being known as a slut and the slut being an eternal virgin. As it happened, his crush fell for a vampire who used her and turned her into a vampire. This vamp was also hooking up with the slut, which really upset the crush. So, when things started to fall apart, with aliens invading, the newly turned vampire crush bit his slutty girlfriend. Later, while talking, she mentioned that he paused when he went to save his girlfriend. If he truly loved her, he wouldn't have. This is pretty much true. When love is there, you will risk everything for the other person. Today, you will see this more often with a parent and their child. We find less love and more lust now, for our partners. But, most of the time, our children are unconditionally loved.
And, sadly, it can make you vulnerable. I've heard more than one cop threaten a suspect's loved ones to get him to confess. In fact, this was even a scene in the 1980s TV series "Crime Story," Episode one. In some countries, it is a way of life. Criminals will threaten your loved ones to keep you in line. Even the government of some countries will do this. Vietnam was probably the most brutal at this. If a village leader got out of line, his family was often targeted along with him. In some cases, his wife and daughters were raped, in front of him, and then killed. His sons could be slaughtered too. Then, after that, he might be allowed to die. Some gangs, like MS13, also did things like this. The El Salvadorian Civil War was almost as bad as Vietnam and spawned MS13.
Right now, in the US, I think it makes us vulnerable. Certain types won't hesitate to use anything they can against others to get their way.
Both its a double edged sword..
For me I want to fall in love but I'm also terrified of feeling it again so I avoid most people who like me.
You fear heartbreak?
Yeah
Love can make you both vulnerable and stronger. Knowing that someone loves you can sometimes be motivating. There is an extra layer of self-confidence that comes with it.
I agree.
Love is not an emotion. Love is an expression of God’s will. When most people talk about love they’re talking about lust and infatuation. Lust and infatuation always makes you vulnerable because it clouds your judgment and often forces people to dive head long into relationships they know we’re going to be straight up destructive.
Honestly, it depends on the person you are in love with...
I have experienced vulnerability in love, earlier and it had been quite nerve wracking.
Whereas, recently I have been falling for someone, but his presence doesn’t make me feel vulnerable at all, on the contrary I feel stronger, calm and peaceful in his presence.
Love doesn't make you vulnerable or stronger. Strong people choose to be vulnerable. Plenty of people in love are totally incapable of being vulnerable and lots of people that are in love find it hard to be strong enough to show up for their partner emotionally.
The perspective from which a person views this issue is the most powerful.
Love definitely didn't make me faster 😂
@queenofcardio shut up and listen to Daft Punk, somewhat

Vulnerble. Think about it. You are giving somebody else the ability to rip your heart out if the wanted to
It depends on who you’re in love with and how you love each other 💕
A bit of both.
Yes.
