I know that there is love that runs deeper than our flaws. I think that's what people consider unconditional love. But realistically, a heinous enough act could kill anyone's love for even the one they cherish most in the world...even especially the one they cherish most in the world.

But realistically, a heinous enough act could kill anyone's love for even the one they cherish most in the world...even especially the one they cherish most in the world. That description seems true: Love that runs deeper than our flaws. I disagree with the second part: Love can endure even the most heinous acts. If you think about people who commit gruesome crimes, like murder, how their loved ones, much of the time, do not abandon them amidst their turmoil; their love endures. Even less extreme scenarios, like someone you love leaving you; your love for that person doesn't just go away. If it did, life would be exponentially easier, but exponentially shallower.

If your husband rapes, tortures and murders your daughter can you still love him unconditionally?

I do believe in unconditional love BUT the world is changing so much. I watch the news and see where a parent killed their child. My question is how in the he!! could a parent kill their child? It seems like everyone is getting so mean, is it even safe to bring children in this mean world anymore? I truly think that IF I was young again and had to do things over right now, I would not have kids. Why would I want to bring a child in to this scary world to where you can not even feel safe sending them outside to play in your own yard. Don't get me wrong, I love my children but I would hate to see how this world is going to be once they start having kids of their own. I DO THINK THERE IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE BUT I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY DUE TO LACK OF COMMON SENSE AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO BE A PARENT AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN!!!

How the hell could you? Any sane person wouldn't. Yes, and as an irrational person, I have to doubt their idea of unconditional love. I think you can only love someone unconditionally on the condition they stay the same person you love unconditionally.

I think a parent can and should love their children unconditionally. I have no doubt that serial rapists and killers should still have their parents love. That's very different than a romantic love...even for a spouse. IMO

If your husband rapes, tortures and murders your daughter can you still love him unconditionally? Yes. You can forgive. Forgiveness is a pivotal part of love. "Love is not love / which alters when it alteration finds." If God can forgive any person completely, so should we. It's still a choice; you can hold your hatred against extreme evil inside you and let it destroy you, or you can forgive; you can love. Those are your options.

Well, i do appreciate everyone's view on this subject. In my opinion i feel as humans we can love to a certain extent especially when we get betrayed, disappointed,heartbroken and so on.Its only God in heaven that can still love us unconditionally regardless.

I love my boyfriend so very much, the thought of being without him is truly unpleasant, i cant bear to be without him, i would love him to death, however i know it's possible for my love to dissipate if he were doing something i found unforgivable, so i think, unconditional love in friendships/relationships doesn't exist. Even if it were possible, it would be horrible or psychotic ex/ it would be crazy to stay with someone who cheated on you, abused to you, lied to you.. But unconditional love can exist between parents & child and vice versa.. and i do believe that God loves us unconditionaly c: oh and i think only WE can love ourselves unconditionaly..but it's only my opinion.

I don't believe there is such a thing as unconditional love ,and why should there be? If somebody is hurting me they are not loving me, so why should I love them?
