No. Love is not enough.

Reality is that love isn't important in a marriage, what is important is doing your duties as a man or woman.

In countries, where they do arranged marriage, who got time for love, at the end of the day, the marriage still works out.

I have come to understand that people who go out to look for love in marriage end up disappointed.

Marriage is not a place for fantasy but of doing your duties as a man and a woman.

Sometimes, I'd say love does not exist. Other times, I'd say it does. It's not because I don't know what to believe but I've come to find out that there are different perspectives to love.

In sustaining a relationship, so many things are involved. But the simple way I define love is "commitment". The butterfly feelings may soon pass away but commitment makes you stay no matter what happens. I wrote a post about 5 reasons why my girlfriend dumped me, and in that post you will learn a lot about why I think just that emotional kind of love is not enough.

I have other articles about this topic you just raised but let me stop here for now.

Love is what remains when all the glitz and glam is gone, its what remains when the beauty fades and the pockets go dry. Love isn't as a result of emotions, it comes from a promise that no matter the situation, we grind together till we win.
Those people saying Love is not enough have never felt it in their entire lives neither are they capable of genuinely giving it.
With love, even having little brings contentment and the hope of abundance is always rekindled. My opinion

No, it also needs trust, transparency and devotion. Also money

The later is very important. Not forgetting to carry your partner along. Supporting her dreams that's when she would know you really love her.

Genuine, action-love from both parties is enough.

It is all that is needed.

I don't think so.

There’s a difference between love and romantic love.

Love and empathy is key in a marriage.

Love is all you need. Love conquers all, so long it is true.

Yes. Agape love.

Love also involves provision.

Love is more than enough.

CAPSLOCKED:
JUST GO ANYWHERE AND TELL THEM YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE, AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU FREE FOOD AND PAMPERS FOR YOUR KIDS AS WELL AS SCHOLARSHIPS UP TO PHD LEVEL.

Love does not mean irresponsible.
Don't get it twisted.

Love + Trust + Attention = Healthy Relationship

Love is like a package that contains everything that you need in marriage

Love will give you patience

Love will give you hope

Live will make you happy

Love will give you peace

Love will make you to respect

Love will blind faults in yours

Love will guide your manners

Love will make you to understand each other like a book

How many times will this question be asked

What you referred to as "love" is actually "emotional investment" or commitment, and it is what holds many marriages from crashing. Considering how careless and selfish many have become in marriage these days, it is the partner who invests the most that bears the brunt and sustains the marriage. When no partner is willing to invest or commit to the marriage, or when the investment and commitment of a partner is not duly appreciated, it becomes a burden and can lead to the collapse of the marriage. At a point in marriage, love transforms into something else: it can be an investment, commitment, or a burden.

Your definition of love is what matters. To me it goes beyond the butterfly feelings and it comes with responsibilities as well. That said, love is enough to sustain marriage.

What is LOVE

If both are true Christians then love should be enough for both as stated in 1 Cor 13:4-8 that love is everything needed to sustain marriage. But you and I know that this is not the case when it comes to majority practising Christianity today. So since people don't see love the way it is being described above in that Bible passage then it is never enough for marriage sustainability but rather other factors chosen by the intending couples must come to play else it becomes a disaster.

Love isn't enough
Never will it be enough

Yes in love, you over look so many things but for how long can that take You?

You don't stay with an irresponsible man cos you simply in Love, it will wean off
You can't keep loving an abusive partner

Ofcourse love is a strong ingredient that makes it all sweet, but what about respect, money, PEACE?

No. Love is a feeling; it alone cannot sustain a relationship/marriage. To make a relationship/marriage thrive, love is needed in conjunction with practical factors like compatibility, respect, honesty, effective communication, and compromise.

Though love conquers all but is not total enough....no matter how much you love someone as a guy and the person refuses to respect you with time your love will start waxing cold
So love and respect is what will sustain marriage...cos someone you love you can easily trust..
