Can a man love two women at the same time?

Depends on what the definition of Love is

I Cor 13
4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 [b]bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things

Love is an action, not a feeling. Feelings are fleeting.

Well the truth hurts. You might consider questioning me on anything biblical because I have hundreds of essays to give scripture to what I "claim." College educated Theologian in 5 countries.
Well you can take your own observation or survey of married couples. How many people do you know that are over 50 and have been divorce. Each divorce is a failed marriage. Right now about 75% of marriages fail....or are unhappy in their marriage.

Can a man love two women at the same time? (or a women love two men at the same time)

Of course they can but there would always be differences in intensity as every individual is different and has a different personality. Iā€™m not sure what the commitment level would be in this type of relationship because if you commit to one person in any way, then the other would be getting second-best. I am also not certain if the connection would be as strong between all partners or if there would be a deeper connection with one of the partners which I suspect there would be. To each their own.

Actually, @PeppermintPatty, their quoted material does not show up, either. I have 2 or 3 members on Ignoreā€”I don't like to go that route, for a number of reasonsā€”but when people quote those members the quoted material is masked on my screen with a notice that reads "You are ignoring content by this member" next to an option to click and "Show ignored content." :)
 
I just remembered about a bloke in NZ who got murdered in the 80's. There were two women who had families with the guy and neither knew of the other until the death notices appeared simultaneously in the newspaper I guess that the funeral was a bit awkward.

Ok! I did not knew that. I donā€™t have anyone on ignore and thereā€™s only one person that I manually ignore,and thatā€™s because she ignores me. Thanks for telling me.

Outside of dictionary definitions (I haven't actually looked) love is experienced, casually defined, and open to discussion, making it something to talk about in a forum. I think most of the interpretations can be correct, starting with the heady bells and whistles of high school romance to the vows customarily taken in church weddings.

Then we have to have debates about which definitions are "real" love, and which are the inconsequential physical attractions, or whether or not both can happen at the same time. Having been in a few rodeos in my life, I still don't know for sure what love is, or more accurately what love is supposed to be. And when it comes to "what it is supposed to be, I cringe at the oncoming moral opinions that will follow.

I had a mentor in college, and one time we were talking about love. I asked him if both types love can endure. He answered that he had been married for 40 years and he was going to see his wife in a half an hour after he got off work, and his knees were already trembling. I was skeptical, but said nothing. He was older than me, and probably had more rodeos under his belt.

Maybe an easier discussion would revolve around commitment. I'd be on more solid ground there, I think.
 
I've never generally been a fan of web forum vague Opening Posts or vague Titles because responses can predictably vector threads in directions they were not intended. Of course on all web boards, some that post threads frequently seem to prefer always posing threads so, that to me comes across as some kind of game to sit back and watch and then have more reason to poke at.

I loved my mother and sister very deeply to the core of my soul, that were both women.
 

What good is algebra to me? Now that I'm faced with a choice, You ask who I love the most. I love you, but I love him too. I love cheese and plum jam. His eyes are just as blue as yours.
