- We all dream of love. Who doesn’t want that feeling of having butterflies in their tummy? But what constitutes that powerful emotion? The film goes in search of romances and great love stories.
"Love is friendship,” says Sarah a few weeks before her wedding to Karim. The pair from Düsseldorf met two years ago through a dating app - during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, they’re preparing for their big celebration: 150 guests are coming from all over the world. The couple are expecting it to be the best day of their lives.
Annette was happily married for 15 years when she suddenly discovered that her husband had been having an affair for years with a friend’s sister and her world came crashing down. After the initial shock, Annette embarked upon an unusual experiment: to find lovers. Several at once - five, in fact! No commitments, no promises - just passion and total honesty above all else.
Thorsten and Axel have been together for many years. They still love each other, they still enjoy life to the full and they’re very active: both professionally and privately. The entrepreneurs are volunteer carnival organizers and in 2019, they were the first gay prince couple in the state of North-Rhine Westphalia at carnival celebrations in Mönchengladbach. "Love means being able to rely on each other. To know that there’s someone at home and that you’re accepted with all your shortcomings,” says Axel.
Love is exciting, often passionate and sometimes painful. The film explores the question of how and where people fall in love - today, a few years ago and even half a century ago.

I was in a long distance relationship for 2 years. We lived on different continents, and only saw each other 4 times during those 2 years. Since there were no other way to hang out, we talked on the phone or via Skype every single day. And through that we got to know each other REALLY well, because all we could do was talk. We have now been happily married for 20 years.
May I know what would be the best tips to maintain an LDR? I am having one now and we are continently apart 😢 but I love him and hopefully can marry him.. Thanks if you read & reply this would be very happy!
@@moonchildcloset to have a a plan of being together. Forever LDR dont work, there should be a deadline set up when you can move in together and work towords it.
Awww that's cute...
Thats not the ideal. There are couples who talk everyday and are now broken up or divorced. Talking everyday on the phone? what's the quality of these conversations? There are many toxic couples who talk on the phone daily yet their conversations have no substance or depth to them, so they are like strangers. Some people have to work on themselves in order to become the best version of themselves for their partner, now what's true live. You don’t need to talk every day in a long-distance relationship. Sometimes life makes it hard to respond to text or take time to talk on the phone. It’s not unreasonable to need a few days to focus on work or yourself. However, there is a difference between talking every day and staying connected to your significant other.
@@Gia-mg5nx I just shared my personal experience.
True love is what remains when the feeling of being in love has burned away.
Rather the rigmaroles of the idea of love---think of it, as the genuine article
There's no such a thing as true love between a man and a woman. It's just a emotional feelings. People's feeling change so does the love.
My love life to date: Nearly 10 years of marriage and two children. I don't ask for anything better. ❤ May everyone find their true love and they be happy forever.
Social media and dating apps has destroyed relationships. People are overwhelmed with choice, or at the least the illusion of choice, so that they never settle.
And people need to settle to develop true love, and roots to a stable family.
This is one of the only logical comments I’ve read here😅
@@turOoOoO999999999999Same.
You forget bad economic and expensive living
You cannot blame social media all together,it makes things much easier in meeting people,we have the power of choice,and we must use it,no perfect human being on this earth 😮
@@Lordosvkbad economy has always happened in the past every now and then.
People nowadays don't know what real love is. It's NOT a feeling. It's a deep commitment based on mutual respect and selflessness; not biochemicals, lust and infatuation, which all tend to fade away quickly. Movies, romance novels, etc. have brainwashed the masses.
Yes, this 💯.
Putting the significant other above yourself and your needs. And she will do the same, unconditionally. Feelings come and gone, love is forever. ❤️
My exact sentiments.
Yes MY definition of love is when the well being and needs of your partner rise to the same level as your well being and needs.@@cyberfamed
It's definitely a feeling also. Otherwise just get an arranged marriage.
Feelings can change. You can't base a marriage on feelings.

I wish a merry Christmas to all the people who feel lonely and unloved. The Christmas holidays could be the toughest because they can't share their joy with anyone. Solidarity!
I have been in love with DW as it takes care of my knowledge needs❤
As Axel said "When the two of you say I do, it doesn't matter which constellation you belong to" I think that sums up what love actually is... it's a bit of everything, without everything, yet it was everything in the end..
True love is the best what we have in our life. Unfortunately, i have never loved anyone and nobody loved me. My marriage was unhappy and in nine months i left my husband and had never regretted about it.Happy marriage is like a lottery.
Do you have a pet?
@@victorye7150The safest relationship imaginable: A pet rock.
I been in quite a few relationships, but I honestly never met a woman that make me feel like I would want to marry her and spend life with her for eternity. I honestly am not sure if I would ever, but I'm not holding my breath for it.
Happy for them though.
I agree total.
I think the truth is that the right people are out there, but you've gotta get lucky and actually find them. Some people will never get lucky...
@@JOXCY True, I was also thinking maybe I'm just not the romantic type? I daydream about meeting special someone when i was a teen. As I date many woman here and there after graduation ....I never did. I had been in very lovey dovey scenario where you're just so infatuated with someone, excited to see them the next day and all that. But when honeymoon phase end, in spite of my best effort. I just don't feel inclined to stay.
Maybe i will meet that special someone one day, i doubt it, till then I am living and enjoying exploring the world. To those of you who have found " the one ", I am sincerely happy for you all. Truly.
It's not easy to find right person..the person jo aap ko aap se Mila de that is the right person .
You could try in some years with an AI gf. 🤣
They're so lucky and i wish them well. So happy for them and wishing the same luck on me too. Going with flow. Well done guys. Proud of you all. Keep the love going
"Love is what we need"
I really like the older couple as He looks her yet with a deep respect and gratitude.😊
I can't wait to see how this upload will trigger hateful comments, bitter hostility, resentment, and irrelevant political rants. 😸
😹💕
My goodness I was thinking the same😮 how sad they are but I'm believer and I love being in Love😊
DW has made us to fall in love again
Your documentaries are always insightful 😊
True love is neither a feeling nor a choice, it's intuition.
"Love is an experession of familiarity over time" Rick Sanchez
Another wonderful documentary shared by an excellent ( DW) documentary channel. Documentary About love relationship and some selected private love experiences . Every one is needing love. Failure marriage executive love ❤️ livelihood.... one or both partners carrying the guilty

@itxbillraza sure Bilal, but please correct your sentence with "her heart ❤️ " 😉
Nice Doku 😇
That couple getting married.......i am nervous for them.
@@cyberfamedthey are both very intense and very highly strung. Bad combination.
Is there love without reconciliation?
Love is emotional dependency on each other. I personally am free from attachments like Love so no drama.
Most over used word of this century: Love!
Maravilloso
Anyone else single here?😭
Liebe (love), it's both magical and mysterious in a sense. Also, it's a science and an art in a sense. What makes it last though🤔? I've been 16 years in love with the same woman, and about a decade married to her. Why have we lasted this long🤔? It's a choice backed by morals.
Still I'm not get anyone for Love 💔💔💔😭
True love isn't there anymore it ended long ago the current situation now isn't for making love but to figure out how you are gonna survive during the hard times
I was married 23 years. I got divorced 3 years ago. Best thing I’ve ever done.
Understood
What happened?
What was best thing marriage or divorce?
Ok hunny
Sounds like a you problem.
some say: "to be in love is like to s#!t yourself. people around will see it, but only you will feel it"
0:37 can anyone here tell me aboit the music please
Well, i found it myself the song is Du cro.
Why we boys don't tell the girls we fell in love?
😞
I lived it but he died of cancer when we were 25. Never found it again…
Do you vow that when you divorce, you will take half his assets, kids and child support? Then say I DO!
My dream man is in another continent to❤❤
Love has no distance
True love can orten be difficult
DW team, please upload this documentary in hindi😢

Thank you for your irrelevant and lazy SPAM comment. 🙄
First you fall in love due to lust then remains in it due to no other option 😂
Marika, that's my name in Hungarian :)) xx
love is a fat wallet and foreign destinations. eye candy is optional
5:56, friendzoned and break-up in 3...2...1..
The tapaware was mother-level-smart but true love is all about skipping lines and fandago allday every day...
What is Love?
Baby don’t hurt me ❤
Love is real
Yeah, it’s a real chemical in your brain
@@FreeportHometown im 14andthisisverydeep
Love is hard find lol
Karim, bro, don't do this. Say No😮.

I was married to and in love with DW, but her recent biased news on Mid - East made me re think, want to divorce DW
So... what's the secret?
Poor karim he didnt know. 😂
Very cringeworthy, what love is touted to be these days.
Why personal attacks are being done 😢😢😢
DW
Google the "orange peel theory"
Right - because we should base important life choices in the light of the latest stupid TikTok trend. 🙄
I'm 25 but I don't know the basics of this syllabus 😶
Watch out for flying arrows. Once they strike, it’s all over. Be open, then your life will change in happy ways.
what he describes is infatuation its not love and its pissing me off
i remember when ppl would make fun of marriages from dating apps
would like to see a poly marriage 1 guy many women
Divorce Next
First the engagement ring, then the wedding ring, and after that the suffering.
Why suffering
"Real love" is an illusion.
For people who are disappointed at having never experienced it, yes - it is.
I had it for 32 years. It's real. ❤
What happened? @@sonyavincent7450
We had an interreligious relationship which was quite bizarre in Bangladesh as she is from the majority religion. We dreamt a lot about everything gonna be alright, we would live happily but she left me accusing that i don't love her enough. I don't know what i have done to deserve such kind of accusation.
I am so sorry 😢
Unconditional right to stop our own life whenever we want medically. my body my choice. Freedom
Life is painful
I love you is 8 letters, so is bullshit.
Nothing about female dual mating strategy!
Love is nothing chemicals in our brain
sex and violence
The guy from first vid is huge beta.After few years he will see the sadness...I wish them all best, but I dont believe it takes long time.
love is a good waste of your life
Only betas fall in love. Love is for children and women. Men need the respect not love.
So that's what you are waiting for?
This is simp programming and intelligent men see it for what it is worth. Making life decisions based upon “love” is foolish.
Men always are the first to fall in love. They’re brave to open their heart and it all starts.
Thank goodness for the internet because people can learn from other's mistakes rather than going through the experience themselves.
Only a simp would know what “simp programming” is. People loving each other is not “foolish” it means you are human - if you fail at love, you have failed at being humanity. Maybe time to check your humanity?
Life got better when i realised there are more interesting things than women on this world.
As a woman, I can tell you the problem isn’t women-it’s that you’re thinking of women the wrong way.
Women make up half the population of the world and you’ve denounced all as uninteresting? We’re not all the same! We’re human and incredibly diverse just like men. If you opened your mind and saw that, and treated women as individuals/ friends to relate to and respect as you do men (rather than categorically as x y or z), you would attract more interesting women and not be making comments like this
I made a comment about women in general and you somehow twisted it into a way to try insult me personally? If that doesn’t show you that the problem is in your own mind, I don’t know what will. It doesn’t seem like you’re interested in becoming more self-aware, so I won’t bother commenting again. Carry on.
Love is unconditional by men
Love is conditional by women
Women have benchmarks and backup plans all the time
Generalising much?
Haha what backup plans? Not everyone has backup plans.
What you are referring to are called standards and boundaries that are needed as a foundation for any relationship - each person chooses that for his/herself, and don’t think men don’t have them either. How come you don’t like every other girl you see? Because you have standards of what you want in your life - everyone has them.
@@raveenahayer808Women always, and I mean always, at any given moment, have at least 2 backup plans for a boyfriend or FWB.
First couple say that they have guest for wedding from all over the world, but they give an interview to English speaking channel in German. Am I over suspicious?
Dw is Germany based channel. This channel is for only english speakers.
Doesn't exist anymore,it just doesn't!
Never did
yes
