If I had to do this I would say: To me, real love is when you care about another persons welfare as much or more than your own. How would define what love is using just one simple sentence? Karen

love is an expression from one person's heart to another in many ways throughout a lifetime that the two share that is unwavering and unconditional to a fault.

Love is putting another person's needs ahead of your own. I had something else to put down, but it'd make it two sentences. lol Happy MyLotting! :)

Love is about accepting You as You :) That's as simple as that, isn't it?

well there is many ways to explaine the feeling of love but you did say in one sentence so I would say... The most beautiful, fulfilling feeling, greater than anything else ever and is to be treasured.

Hi Karen...Wow..this is hard!!! if I had to define love in one simple sentence it would be....Living your life hand in hand with a special person and never having any regrets. Thats the only way I could define the way i feel about love in one easy sentence and capture the way I feel. flutterby
