Debatable I think.
People promise that they love all the time and they don't mean it, but in saying that, can that me classed as pure and honest love?
The debate between real love and fake love is something that I think will appear continually throughout this blog.
Love as a promise is a notion that I'm inclined to agree with though.
When you tell someone you love them, you are making them a promise that they are the most important thing in your world. You are promising them that you will do anything In your not to hurt, or deceive them and to protect them from anything and everything.
But can that promise ever be broken? If you fall out of love, do you break your promise? Or is your promise simply no longer there?
If someone hurts you, are you allowed to break away and rescind your promise? Or are you bound to love forever by your promise?
I think that in some way, when you promise your love to someone there is a part that you can never take back. There is always that bond, whatever happens.
i think that it's just a matter of opinion. a promise is like a contract, or an agreement, that as long as ceteris paribus is not broken, then you will not break that promise.

you can love someone (or promise to always love them) as long as they don't betray that love, or abuse it. i.e. change or cheat on you.
now if you take that into context, that promise is always liable to be broken, as there are external factors which need to be taken into account :)
