so if you always try, i’ll stay even if it’s a lousy relationship. the intent is nice; the philosophy is god-awful. trying is not enough. there is such a thing as people who do and do not belong together. the need to be with someone (anyone) can override us into incessant trying. that’s not love or health. that’s co-dependence.

Great insight! Indeed Co dependance is not love… and yes some keep trying even in the face of complete abuse and disrespect. There is a time for everything under the sun. A time to try and a time to stop trying.

Guess this sounds good to those who don’t mind emotional abuse…. without trust, there is very little there. If a partner claims to be in a relationship he/she does not need to be putting oneself out there for interest in others…. there are friends and then there are friends of ‘interest’…. don’t disguise the latter for the first. Lies are lies. ‘Can’t go with this, and I wish others wouldn’t either.

The word “try” s a loophole to self defeat.. it’s kind of like planning ahead to fail, so you can say, “well, I tried”. If you want to actually do the work, you can start by accepting the differences and dealing with the trust issues with respectful communication. Not only that, but if you really want a healthy relationship with another human being, you need to have a healthy relationship with your Self.. how you treat others, especially those closest to you directly reflect your attitude towards yourself.. You most of all, deserve your love and compassion

Once trust is an issue, it will be difficult to get back. We all have our differences, now that i can work with. Trust, no way.

I usually try to stay out of conversations regarding religion on the internet, but seriously, I just think that’s fucking creepy.
Listen

Please just keep comments about God to yourself. If you believe it, that’s fine. Nobody minds about that. But with all due respect we mind when your religious opinion gets pushed on to us. We can make up our own minds about what religion we do or do not follow. Thanks
I like the thought. But it seems incomplete. Many an abusive husband could say the same thing, couldn’t they?

I guess everyone who commented on this is allowed to have their own opinion. So, here’s mine.
Obviously this quote is not intended for everyone in any relationship. This philosophy most certainly would not benefit people in physically or emotionally abusive relationships.
You need to stop taking this so literally.
What’s inspiring about this quote is that, for this person’s relationship, this act equals love. Even through the arguments and the tears and the hurt feelings, if the other person is doing the best they can to better themselves and the relationship, then this partner is staying because they respect the courage it takes to keep moving forward.
There is no need to pick apart this quote or other people’s comments.
Appreciate this for the simplistic beauty it contains, and move on.

Oh no
I don’t believe it
You say that you think you know
The meaning of love
Do you really think it can be told?
You say that you really know
I think
You should check it again
How can you say
What you believe
Will be the key to a

Yeah, that is assuming you are with the ‘ideal’ partner. I can tell you from experience, that ‘trying’ is not the only action that must be taken in order to sustain a healthy and successful relationship. This quote doesn’t account for those that posses an urge to be with someone simply to fulfill their selfish needs… They could put forth endless effort and still not have successful relations. That’s not love, that’s contingent emotion.
whether He/She/It (God) exists, it is JUST a matter of faith…. Noone can determine if this is bullshit or not, smartass P.S. I love you. Peace.

You’re that guy in any college class who talks to hear himself. I’m guessing you believe in the unseen forces of fate and whatnot? Shitty. See, love is chemical. Not some crazy force. There is no predetermined plan for any 2 people to be together, or any 2 people to not be together. In a relationship all two people can do is try. We’re humans. While your ideas make everyone feel fuzzy inside, they’re garbage.

so, Listen, it’s ok for you to voice your opinion on the beliefs and faith of others, but not ok for them to proclaim their faith. hypocrite. by the way, your opinion is valued.
I love it
:@ =)
Word. As long as you’re trying, I’m staying
@Nate: Word to ya motha….
No, but its a really nice saying:)
Great!
so true… =)
hehehe somehow.. but God is love..

well…not to all.god can b love to some.but not to all
These are simply words to a song; how people feel inside. It’s sentiment. It’s not an hour on the couch with a psychiatrist! Geeez, lighten up!
My first comment above was not meant for Brandy. It was meant for Mitch’s first comment about co-dependence, etc.
God loves everyone, therefore God is love to everyone, wether you know it or believe it
)
Perfect…I was trying to grind my brain to say something to him until I stumbled on this site. thanx
Amen
After being in a relationship for 6 years, I completely agree with this. Love is putting in the effort
Great quote
Love it <3
bullshit. god does not exist, therefore god cannot love you.
truer words have not been typed, at least not by me
I’d say you’re in need of His love. Don’t be so bitter.
….you read my mind. Well put, my sentiments EXACTLY.
if i write something, do i get a dumb knit looking logo?
Yip, how you wish he existed.
OMG! Mitch- I think I love you…if I believed in love…;P
I think you’re my favorite person ever for that. Yes.
