Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is.

God is love! It is his very character. Just take a look at his life and u'll see. Look at the sacrifices, mercy, forgiveness, gifts, grace, chances. If one is not prepared to do these things then u are a long way from love.

Imagine someone saying they will forever love their partner and their partner is perfect and saying they can always resolve things for the strong love they share and then in the same day, hmm.... they end it. It would be ridiculous, no? I like your answer because it shows you know how to make something work and build a forever love

I don't know exactly what is love too... but i think you can't keep searching for your biggest love, i think it will happen in the right moment and not when you want to in my opinion.. I think love is when you love so much one person that you start doing crazy things for her/him and you can keep a good relation even after problems... Love will appear when it has to, i think love is one of the biggest feelings ever...

I would say it is one the most powerful and beautiful emotions we can feel and express to another living thing. What would this world be without love in it?

I think love for your family is something that you seem to be born with and can't help. Romantic love is something different. It is partly a romantic connection and partly a desire to be together. I think when you can't imagine your life without someone then you love them.

Love has many meanings in English, from something that gives a little pleasure ("I loved that movie") to something one would die for (patriotism, pairbonding). It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love. Probably due to its large psychological relevance, love is one of the most common themes in art. The majority of modern movies have a love story and most pop music is about love.

I think love is more than emotions. It is the concious decision to put someone else's needs and wants above yours. It is the choice to be faithful and loyal to someone and to do what is best for them.
