The secret of true love | DW Documentary
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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..
Your documentaries are always insightful 😊
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.

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
