Is love really worth it? I always see people that are in relationships struggling and it got me thinking there are far more negatives than positives when it comes to the subject. I see in life and on here that people are always cheating or hurting one another with awful intentions. Love has always eluded me in the sense of is its realism and can it exist in today's world. The media today has us sensationalizing it as some overblown fantasy which men and women can never live up too simply because this is reality. Love is like a drug some say that the body and mind wants to feel over and over again but that's all it seems to be a rush then it dissipates and we seek another person to fulfill that rush again. Sorry for the rambling but what im trying to imply is love really worth all the trouble in life?

bunnyblueeyes agony auntA HUGE resounding YES!!! Love is worth it!!! I've been with my 1 and only partner for five years and I'm so in love with him. We sometimes argue, but we never go to bed angry.

He is my world.

BettyBoup agony auntIt can be difficult yes. But it has great benefits over being alone. Although being single does have its benefits also.

Is love worth the trouble in life? Yes, it can be. But, yes, you have to relinquish the idea that it will be like it is in the movies. You have to learn to compromise because the other person will have their own idea of how life and your relationship should be. But if you find someone who you can reach a happy understanding with, yes love is worth it. Love is the best feeling in the world. But its not always rainbows and butterflies. Don't forget, you can have love with friends and family. You don't always need to be "in love", but longterm partnership has many advantages. Traditionally marriage was for financial security and like a business partnership. It is more difficult to live singly with just one income, and paying for a whole rent/morgage. Also bringing up children is more difficult alone.
