Is love addicting?

Well I never thought of it that way but yes I suppose it can be it makes us feel all sorts of things but there are so many types of love we love our parents,we can love our jobs, or love our car, or what I would guess you are referring to falling in love with another person they simulate emotions they make us feel alive. The only way it can kill you is if you mistake thinking negative things like jealousy,or violence for love, When it becomes love of self then it might kill you. Otherwise you are safe

I wish, in this world, we we're spared loss & grief. But so, I wouldn't forgo love.

Truest love is that in the Spirit, and one does not base it in emotion, per se, but our deeds. It is this kind of love that keeps us going (e.g. in marriage) even if we do not feel like it today. It is in our being, in other words.Now, from the flesh end of it (none Spirit), most people would equate love to a "feeling".With me personally, I noticed there are two types of romantic love I have felt. The first type there is a physical attraction. This is the kind I have for my wife. It is an exciting, warm feeling (maybe even euphoric) --- and I need not say what comes afterwards. The second type is emotional. It's where one falls head-over-heals as they say and there is an emotional connection, but with me I was not so much interested in the physical as much as just being with the person, like a matching piece to a puzzle. This type can fizzle out soon (with me anyway).The former is often associated with men, and the latter with women (and may be associated with dependency). However, the latter with me is more what I could feel for female friends---- I must admit, there is an added dimension that I cannot explain with friends of the opposite sex, but as long as that former "ahem" line is not crossed, it is OK with my wife and me since I am by nature an emotional person (as logical as I oftentimes sound).

I think too much of anything...can....be harmful. Take oxygen. You think, that's a good thing, that oxygen. It keeps me alive. The atmosphere contains many types of gases, along with oxygen. So everytime you take a breath, you aren't inhaling JUST oxygen. You're inhaling many gases. But if you take in pure oxygen all the time, you can actually become poisoned by the very thing that keeps you alive.I think this is the same with love. Even though it's not really the exact same thing, I think you can see what I'm trying to get at. Too much love can certainly have some effect on you. It just all depends on each person what those effects are.

Interesting thought. I do believe love can be addicting. There are different types of love. Some can form an addiction/obsession. For example, I have many friends that are addicted to being in love (they go though relationship after relationship). Some may call this obsession and not love but nonetheless it goes back to the notion that you are filling your heart with something other than Christ (that can always form into an addiction).Of course there is healthy love that has nothing to do with addiction, in my opinion.

Yes love for God is addictingbut unfortunatley not as addicting as our love for the things of this world.You have to work completley love God. Which is worth it because complete love for God Will lead us to true happiness.
