Unconditional love is showing love for another person without considering how it will benefit you or what you will get in return. Unconditional love is a noble relationship goal since everyone wants to be loved for who they are and without conditions. By its narrowest definition, however, unconditional love can be difficult, if not impossible. Part of the problem with unconditional love in relationships is the lack of understanding of what it means. When people think of this type of love, the first thing that comes to mind is a parent's love for a child or a child's love for a parent.
