Two Making Up

To give unconditional love is to do so without any expectations or limitations. When you love someone unconditionally you do so without expectations that the love will be returned, without placing conditions under which the love will be expressed and without establishing a specific period for when, where or why the love is felt or expressed. The love between romantic partners, parent and child, siblings and even friends can all be examples of unconditional love. The most important factors of unconditional love are that it is completely free of restrictions, conditions or expectations.

When giving unconditional love, it is critical that you do not have expectations of reciprocation. You are offering your love freely and do not require that the feeling be returned. When we speak of unconditional love is actually about you and your feelings and does not require trying to create the same feelings in another person. While you may hope that the feeling is returned, unconditional love does not have any expectations of a mutual feeling. When you hold the belief that your love for the other person is going to eventually be reciprocated and your love is based on this expectation then it is not unconditional love. A good example of unconditional love without any expectations is the love between a parent and child. A parent may love their child unconditionally and while the feeling may be reciprocated by the child, the parent’s love will endure regardless of how the child feels. Your unconditional love exists even if the other person does not have the same feelings towards you or any intentions of having such feelings.

True unconditional love will endure any transgression. When you give unconditional love, you do so knowing that the words or actions of the other person will not result in this loving feeling being revoked. Intentional acts meant to hurt you are overlooked when they are inflicted by someone with unconditional love. Also, unconditional love is not used to attempt to control the actions of another. Telling someone that they will lose your love if they do things you do not approve of is not unconditional love. Romantic couples often have a feeling of unconditional love. When this exists in the relationship, neither partner uses their love to control the other or revoke the love if their demands are not met.

True unconditional love is always given without any parameters. Unconditional love exists without thought of setting limitations or other definitions on the love surviving. Siblings are good examples of unconditional love that exists without any conditions. Siblings may fight  and argue throughout their lifetime there is a bond that is present always and forever.

When someone has unconditional love for another they always want the best for the one they love and allow them to be free and to truly be happy. Unconditional love means wanting the best for the person you love and understanding that they need to be free and happy. While you may believe that you know what is best for your loved one, it’s important to let them learn things on their own and experience that they believe will make them happy. They may end up making wrong choices but if you love them unconditionally you will always be there for them.

Unconditional love is free of any definitions, expectations, or conditions. This is a love that holds your loved ones interests and happiness above your own happiness. Remember when you offer your  unconditional love it is important to realize that you have no right to expect that your feelings will be returned.
