I think my Mom and Dad had that down-packed. Why? Because through all the sh-t they been through together, they were together til' they died. My Mom suffered from bi-polar disorder and my DAD was by her side through it all. I know he didn't cheat on her because I used to go to work with my Dad and we'd go home together. He wouldn't leave me out of his sight. She had Bi-polar disorder/depression, she had her highs and lows, meaning she could flip out at any minute.. but when she was normal, she was the Best Mom in the world.. and when my Dad was sick, wasn't able to move or use the restroom, we took care of him. I was always with my parents, so they really didn't have time to do anything else, cept' be a family.. To me, when the going gets tough, we got to stick it through. Isnt that what love's all about?
Now for those who've have been abused, well, that's a time to MOVE ON... but if you have a loving relationship, don't give it up, stay with it.

Actually unconditional love means loving someone without any conditions,
demands or expections. Personally I believe what your parents had was
love in its completeness. In my opinion the ideal relationship is when
someone gives of themselves to another above and beyond themselves. This
is what your Dad did..and your family for that matter... I have known
people with bi-polar and have seen spouse cut and run...it is a very
difficult situation to deal with for all involved.
Yes family should stick together thats what family is about...at least in
my book.
When I mentioned complete love...I am referring when both man and woman give
to each other greater than themselves...then neither will have any wants or
needs for they in themselves are complete.

The only love that I have found in my life that has been completely unconditional is the love for my kids. I gave my ex unconditional love, through the alcohol, drugs, abuse, bipolar disorder, and tried to get him help. After 6 years, I quit, he didn't want to help himself, and I could no longer put myself or my kids through it. Now, I wish that I hadn't stayed and put my family through it. Sometimes unconditional love can be a downfall. But that doesn't mean that with the next I will give up easy, but if there are problems that they aren't willing to fix, I'm not going to stick around for all the heart ache.

unconditional love is when ya love someone so much that nothing they can say or do will make ya stop lovin them. it can be the most painfull thing in the world and lead to tremendous suffering when its a one way deal,(had that experiance, but still love em), or hopefully the best thing ever if the love is both ways,( havent had that experiance yet, but hope to).

The only unconditional love that I have found is for my children and them to me. I think that in a relationship it is hard to find unconditional love. There isn't hardly anyone that isn't going to love someone without wanting love back........we all have expectaions and conditions......ever so slight that they might be. JMO

Chris and Me, I hear what you're sayin..
Yup,that special one... when? would be nice to know,huh,Chris?
Me4, kids' are definitely main priority.. they are the ones that have to face it with us.
For me, if I didn't have that experience or was exposed to that, I would have never known what love can be.....so I'm grateful for it.

to me unconditional is when you give up everything you have to be with that person
is when you love that person so much you don't care what other say about him or her
its the kinda love that god gave to us when he gave his only be goten son for us
unconditional mean that person only can give you one thing that is a most and that is your true heart
a person with unconditional only see one thing and that is giveing you happiness for nothing and that money are sex wont stop them from loveing you

I think unconditional love is accepting the other person regardless of their faults and iniquities. None of us are perfect. My late wife was not perfect, nor was I. But we were both willing to give the ultimate price for each other.
