Can a couple live solely with undying love for each other?
:shrug:

Or do people inherently love what they can't have? :shrug:

1. Well, put it this way...
Some people are capable of "undying love" for another, not to be confused with love that changes over time.

Some people are incapable of walking away or saying goodbye to what they cannot have....and....

Some people actually hate what they cannot have....and....

Some people are incapable of love, in any form....

2. In the strictest sense, that is a bad idea
I don't mean that people shouldn't be monagamous. I am just saying that usually one person cannot satisfy all another's needs so it is important for both people to have hobbies and friends.
I inherently am attatched to what I already have perhaps to an unhealthy extent. It has caused me to be a horder (It hurts to throw anything away) and get upset about changes in my life, even those that I know that are for the best. Now that I am living in a relatively big home, there is no material new thing that I really want. As far as people, sometimes I wish that my husband and others in my life were different in some ways but it would upset me if they were out of my life. With the move and new job not going as well as I hoped, I am sort of down and don't really want to let anyone else into my life in any sense.
As for humans in general, I think that we have both tendencies. Some people tend more one way than the other.

3. I think unconditional would be a better word than undying.
I have an unconditional love for my husband, but there is room for change and growth in that love.

4. How did you cultivate that unconditional love?
Or, perhaps, "why did you choose to cultivate it for him?" be a more apropos question?

Can anybody choose to love somebody unconditionally, or are there other factors?

5. I have no idea.
It wasn't something I did consciously. He's my best friend. :shrug: I have no idea what logic there was involved.
