Is pain from the significance of love? Or is the significance of love because of pain? Both are true in different ways. Let's start with the first question. Pain can some from love in many different things. Love is a strong commitment and it puts out feelings, thoughts, and desires in the open for two people to share. By doing that it instills a lot of trust in the other person, who can easily betray the other's trust by using that against them in a painful argument or betraying those feelings by lying or cheating on the spouse. So basically, pain can stem by what your spouse can do to betray the other's trust and feelings that have been instilled in the relationship. However, pain from love doesn't always come from spouses cheating, lying, and betraying each other. It can also come from the opposite, like significantly caring for him or her and constantly worrying about him or her. It also comes from caring more about the spouse than he or she cares about you and even unrequited love. There are many different ways like that where pain stems from the signifiacnce of love. However, the significance of love can come from pain too. If a couple goes through a really hard time with lots of loss and lies and get through it together while remaining strong, that makes love really significant and it's stemming from pain. Also, losing a spouse is another reason why the significance of love comes from pain. Grief can overwhelm someone, but also help them realize how important the spouse was to their lives. And as I mentioned before, if a spouse betrays the other by cheating, lying, or fighting him or her, that not only agrees with how pain can come from the significance of love, but how the significance of love is from pain. So both sayings go either way because love is pain. You put in a lot of trust, hard work, and commitment to keep the love going. Even if the spouse does nothing wrong to betray the other, it is still pain because the spouse is always worrying and caring for the other, and in fear of the pain that would occur if something bad were to happen to the other. Despite that both sides of the argument are true, I think I agree more with that pain comes from the significance of love because it seems that with so much effort put into a committing relationship, there is bound to have a lot more pain that comes with the effort.

Nice post. What would you say to this:
