Tag: unconditional love

This past weekend I enjoyed a bachelorette party with my best friend from college. For two days, a houseful of women gathered to celebrate love and the new beginnings of marriage. It was a wonderful weekend to reflect of the joys of new love. In the early stages of marriage many couples would say that their love for one another is unconditional. There is much talk of loving each other regardless of flaws and finding the "perfect partner." I know that some experts may disagree with the idea of unconditional love between partners—citing issues of co-dependency and enmeshment—but in my view, a great marriage has an element of love and affection for one another that supersedes any faults or flaws. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I believe that love, even between spouses, can and should be unconditional.
