Is that what they mean by sacrificial or unconditional love?

gale,<P>According to Dr. Steve Harley there is no such thing a unconditional love...<P>...I agree with him for most human relationships ...but not necessarily agree for <B>all</B> relationships.<P>There are some relationships where I do see love as unconditional... very uncommon in human to human relationships. <P>A "natural" mother-new born relationship is probably the closest thing to it.<P>Most marriages, probably have a more conditional kind of love... e.g. if my W had sex with OM in front of me every day for a month (maybe a week)... I'd lose love fast.<P>But there is one kind of love that is truly unequivocally... unconditional... for me anyway...<P>God loves me unconditionally... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>...and if I learn about what my life is meant for... I can love Him unconditionally.<P>In the question of insurance... it doesn't seem to me to be a issue of any expression of this kind of unconditional(sacraficial) love. Yes, providing for the children (if there are any) is important... and Butterfly is right! A father's/mother's gift to their children if the parent weren't couldn't be around anymore is very important.<P>If there were no children... the beneficiary could be a very good medical cause... or any other cause that "helps your neighbor"...<BR>..after all... no one I know has taken "it" with them...<BR>...the only question asked of you, when your gone, is... what have you done for your neighbor.
