I think it changes or evolves over time

Depends on the love. I will love love my mother forever! Other love, like peedub said, changes and evolves to suite circumstances.

Hopefully it lasts forever if you are lucky. In my case it has changed through the mnay years I have been married. It has gotten stronger and more mature.

There are different kinds of love. Of course I will love my daughter, parents and other family and friends forever . The cool thing about marriage is that you get to choose whether you will love them and be with them forever. I know I will love and care for my husband til I die.

For certain people, it can. Like the others mentioned above.

The majority of older people I know that say they are still in love take a crap ton of percription pills every day. Coincidence? I think not.

That being said, sure. If it’s right it’s right. If not you will find out. Eventually.

I think once you love someone, your’e stuck with
the feeling, the connection, the draw toward that soul.
People we love leave us, die, betray us, turn out to be
unable to deal with us, grow up and leave home, whatever;
we might have to walk away, or wave them bye bye with
tears in our eyes. But the feeling stays and we must
honor it and think of it as a strength in us, a great capacity
that grows as it’s exercised.
These are good answers today. We are so mature. I like this.
You guys are fabulous. I love you.

Your love dies with you.

Love isn’t a static thing that just is no matter the circumstances. Love is a verb. If you want your love for a person to continue, you have to actively love that person. Do things to keep it alive, growing and thriving. You can’t expect to love someone, do nothing to keep love alive and have it still be there 10, 20, 30 years down the line.
People that I’ve loved in the past (ex-boyfriends, etc) I no longer have love for because that relationship is no longer viable. I might have good feelings for that person, but I no longer LOVE them, y’know?
If you want love for someone to continue, you can’t be lazy about it. Be proactive. I think a lot of the problem with people “falling out of love” lies with the view that love is simply a feeling. It isn’t. It’s an action word and inaction makes it not exist.

great answerablut love being a verb. Like I said we choose to love who we are married to. I choose to love him forever, and he chooses to love me forever.

Love lasts forever. Our relationship to love changes as our understanding of life changes.

It can, but depends on the people involved. People are always changing, and if they stay in the ‘zone’ where love is present, it will hold, but is always possible to exit that ‘zone.’

When you truly love someone, they touch a place in your heart that will stay with you, even when that person isn’t.

No it doesn’t sometimes one partner realizes it isn’t right or someone has cheated

Ms_flirty's avatar

Sometimes depending on how the love is if you think he or she is the one then the love will last good luck !
