Is love really about sacrifice? Is marriage about sacrifice? How much should we sacrifice? Where is the line?

It's not fair to be asked to give up everything. It's not fair to have the one you love give up time and money while you must give up the dream of living somewhere wonderful and doing what you truly love. It's not fair to have to give up

Ah! I'm really happy you're reading my blog! And don't worry about not being online for awhile, I know you've got a whole other life in Japan! Go do! Go have fun! :]

I don't know how to make Kimchi, but I have eaten it a lot before because of John. Yeah, they spell it Kimchi in English too! It took me awhile to get used to the taste but now I like it, I just can't eat too much of it or I feel sick! One day I will learn how to make it! Yes, hire meee!

You're right about the sacrifice and love thing. I think love is about sacrifice and negociation/compromise. I agree with what you said, as long as the sacrifice isn't too great... Thanks for your input!

<3 Ja ne?

You know, I think love is about sacrifice... up to a point. It's one thing to change your habits, or spend extra time and money on someone. But when someone asks you to give up your life's dreams, and they are not willing to make any major sacrifices themselves... I think, as much as you love them, you should ultimately live the life you want to live. You only get one life after all. You should enjoy it as much as possible without letting other people selfishly hold you back. Buuut that's just my opinion. ♥

You are correct! Sacrifice is very important but it should not be something that hinders your life or your happiness overall. :] Thanks Ash!

Love requires a bit of sacrifice but its only worth it if the benefits outweigh what your giving up you know? There has to be a line of compromise or else you'll have regrets.
Its like if you go with it and sacrifice everything for a person you'll end up sitting back and wondering what could have been. After a while it can manifest into bitterness towards the person you gave everything up for. :\
Its a hard thing like very very, but don't ever give up all of yourself for someone else, because then you forget who you are.

Ah, bitterness. I see what you mean. Sacrifice shouldn't be something that ruins your life, you should do it when you know you will be happy in the long run, ne? I don't think anyone should give up their dreams, of course but there should be room for change. :]
