Agreed. Love can be defined many ways but a line could be drawn through them all.What is true love? You could ask 100 different people that question and get 100 different answers.
I think there are people who 'settle' with what they have got weather it be due to pressure from cultures, like arranged marriages for example, but is it true love? I guess only the couple in that marriage could answer that.
But what is love?
Is it creating a family together, is it enjoying each other company, is it having common interests or is it contentment with yourself and your partner?
One thing I that ring true with me is what is love if you can't love yourself first?
I think settling is not a bad thing, that's the card most people get in life and people make the best of it.
Loving oneself is the most important thing. But, if we're being honest, I see a lot of couples stay in the relationship because of the prestige or they're the "perfect couple." Not pushing for divorce, but I think sometimes you lose who you are because of love.
