Am told by a friend some time ago that real love is death is this true

Maybe it is true, if a person sacrifices themself to allow another to live or love. But a living helpful person may be of more benefit than a dead one, in most cases.

Real love in my opinion is doing things out of your comfort zone because you truly love that person.

Ive seen men who will take their wives to the bathroom and help her to the toilet and wait because it makes her life easier.

Ive seen women who give up personal satisfaction to care for their ailing or dying spouse they truly love

Ive seen a man put his arm around his sick wife without makeup,she looks like death warmed her over and he looks in her eyes says I love you and be sincere about it

Real love has some type of energy that one can feel.

That is my opinion.

as in is Real love death?

That sounds kind of creepy and psychotic,you should ask him to clarify what he means by that?

No, that isn't true .
Death is a direct result of sin not love.

Another poster (underboss) described real love quite well.

I knew of a lady who took care of her incapacitated husband for many years.
She fed him, bathed him, changed him (you know), all because of her "real" love for him.

Very humbling.

ALL love is real/true because if it isn't real/true, its not LOVE.

It is a myth
