writes:If you Love someone, is that enough to sustain a lifetime relationship...til death do us part? After being with someone for over 20 years with so many bumps along the way. Hurt feelings, mis-trust, doubt, anger, bitterness. How do you ignore those feelings because you know you love the person. Is love enough to stay together? Is there a difference between I love you and bein In Love? If you stay with someone for comfort, finances, security, and the sake of family/children...is it okay? Even though you are dying to be free. There is a price no matter what and no gaurantees. Sux!!

I think you can actually love someone, live with them, but still feel like the loneliest and saddest person in the world. So no, I don't think love alone is enough to make a relationship/marriage last.
You obviously have some difficulties in your relationship right now - may I suggest you try and talk to them about it and open up to how you are feeling. Sometimes due to busy lives etc, we can all get into a rut and take each other for granted without actually realising it.
20 years is a lot to throw away if it can be salvaged by just a little communication.
Good luck!

Love is not enough to last, if it was about love alone most people could still be with their ex right now... because even in breaking up you still love them but because its not enough, you let go. You need respect, happiness, sanity and of course trust. You can end up living with someone you resent if you are missing any of those in any relationship. Try to talk to whoever it is and have a free heart... gooodluck
