Does True Love Have To Be Unconditional?

By:


When we put conditions on love, is it really love at all? Isn't something less than unconditional love only a nice arrangement, a pleasant situation dependent upon specific conditions? When we make love conditional, we are stopping short of achieving love in its truest form.

When we love, do we not embrace everything about the person? Do we love the person or a set of behaviors? Do we love the arrangement or the soul, itself, which has merged with our own? And when we proclaim love for a person, are we not meant to be proclaiming something that is never-ending?

Most people do show unconditional love to their children. We might discard lovers or spouses, but never children. Yet that fact is interesting because romantic love asks for all of us while parenthood requires only parts of us.

"Modern-thinking" people so easily sneer at those traditional marriage vows, "For better or for worse, for richer or poorer, until death do we part." These days people tend to agree that such a notion is quaint; that to walk away from a relationship when things "don't work out" is the right thing to do. These same people will never love in the truest sense because love is not an arrangement! Love is the merging of two souls at a level so deep that they become one and cannot be separated under any circumstance!

When two lovers open themselves to unconditional love, they discover something so real and lasting that they can shed the fear of losing that love. They can suddenly discuss anything, become anything with that person. This kind of love creates a positive, never-ending feedback loop. Issues of control, and the struggles that come with it, suddenly give way to a never-ending source of growth, happiness, and newness.
