Love is a complex emotion that has been the subject of countless books, movies, and songs. It is often portrayed as the ultimate goal in life, the thing that will make us feel complete and fulfilled.

What Is Unconditional Love in a Relationship
Simply put, unconditional love is love for another person without regard for how it will benefit you or what you will receive in return. Unconditional love in a relationship means that each person is free to be themselves without worrying about rejection or abandonment. Rather than judging or scorning each other for their flaws or missteps, they give and receive compassion and acceptance. To love in this way is to offer genuine love, the kind of love that encourages others to be authentic.
