Unconditional love? Maybe. I think this song is more about accepting that you do not own your partner and can not control all your partner's desires or actions. Even within the context of an intimate partnership, he or she is still an autonomous person and can't be kept on a leash. (Well, maybe a really long leash... we do have to establish some limits, right?)
Unfortunately, most people do not accept this reality, and disappointment is the inevitable result, which is why so many seemingly compatible people can't keep their relationships together.
