That’s not about boundaries or not. Yes, the story is very sweet, and yes, it’s wonderful that the young woman’s husband wishes to commit to the whole “in sickness and in health” part when it does look like there’s just going to be a lot of sickness. That’s loving behavior and yes, it’s wonderful.

Where a lot of people itch is the idea that love should permit ANYTHING — any unloving behavior, any mistreatment, if it’s True Love. That’s where people are justifiably cynical, I think.

for all the cynical people here…. i believe the following is more an example of “Love has no boundaries”…. “True Love” that is…. take a look

Cancer Patient Heather Taylor Weds Boyfriend In Hospital Ceremony

It wasn’t your traditional ceremony: The wedding dress was replaced by a simple tank top, and the bride came down the aisle in a wheelchair. But 26-year-old Heather Taylor’s hastily-planned wedding was more poignant and meaningful than most others.

For my own part, I totally see love as a verb — as what you DO, rather than a feeling.

Love has no boundaries just refers to the fact that love can not be prevented. It might be rejected or denied, but it can still exist beyond these actions. It can also exist beyond the boundary of death. Love is not an action. It is a state of being.

We’ve all been hurt in the past. If we haven’t, we haven’t been living because life is not a stroll through sunshine and soft green grass, holding cupcakes and singing. Give me life, give me a few tumbles, let me LEARN.

And let me have some healthy boundaries.

Love may not have boundaries (I like the idea that it crosses class/social/economic/cultural lines) but healthy relationships need them and people need to be capable of setting them. Period. Because restraining orders cost a lot of money and who has time for all those court dates?

Love, or behavior?
Of course behavior has boundaries.
And I have a right to set boundaries for what behaviors I will and will not tolerate.
But I have not yet figured out how to set boundaries on someone else’s feelings.
Don’t particularly want to either.

Have to admit I’m with Sunshine, meeself. I’ve been around the lighthouse more than once in the seas of romance at my age, and when someone tells me not to have boundaries, I find ‘em creepy as all hell.

I disagree with Sunshine completely. The saying “love has no boundaries” is not the hallmark of a psycho or stalker. I think your interpretation is negative and judgmental. In fact, people who think this is a “dodgy” saying have obviously never been in true love or have been hurt in the past. How does one measure love, when love is a feeling and cannot be explained in words alone? There are no limits when it comes to love, no boundaries will ever separate this universal feeling we share with others.

I think the term, “love has no boundaries” refers to the true meaning of love. It means it doesn’t matter how quickly you fall in love with someone–”love has no boundaries”. It means it doesn’t matter if your significant other is 15 years younger than you–”love has no boundaries”. It means you shouldn’t care about setting the limits or the “what-ifs” on your love for someone. Love is love and if you feel its real, there’s absolutely no reason why you should question it or underestimate it.

Ah Lady, I thank the gods I am stupid enough to have a bizarre and unsubstantiated wealth of hope. ; )
