What is LOVE? \n\n\n\nLoving another person is not separate from loving God.\nOne is a single wave, the other is the ocean.\n\nContemplate love every day. Loving reflections make the heart grow.\nSurrender to love as a guiding force.\n\nLove never forces. Love is intelligent and brings only what you need.\nThe awakening of true love lies in finding peace within passion and passion within peace.\n\nTo feel beauty is to know that truth. To know the truth is to be in love.\n\nYour marriage is a play of the divine.\n\nTwo souls pretend to be separate for the sheer joy of coming together in love.\nThe highest expression of love is creativity.\n\nLove doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.\nA heart that has learned to trust can be at rest in the world.\n\nLove is attention without judgement. In its natural state, attention only appreciates.\nLove is the beginning of the journey, its end and the journey itself.\n\nLove is like water. If it doesn't flow, it stagnates.\nThe mind judges what is good or bad. Love brings only good.\n\nTrue love is here and now.\nWhatever you can remember or anticipate is only a shadow of love.

Wow, this is a hard one! Love is putting that persons needs ahead of yours! Love is feeling something so deep in your heart, that you are about to burst! Love is missing a smell, a look , a touch and never being able to replace it. Love is holding your grandchild for the first time. Love is crying when your child goes to school the first day and leaves you.Love is your cat sitting on your lap and purring so contently. Love is opening your heart to all the possibilities of another human being touching your life in even the smallest way. Love is giving with no expectations. Love is painful and lonely. Love is full of laughter and joy! Love is life and without it, nothing is worth living!

I just answered a similar question. Many people believe "love" is difficult to define completely. I am one of those people. However, I do think these three attributes are *essential* to the meaning of love:\n\n* Love requires that one must be willing to make great sacrifices for the person.\n* Love cannot be established without deep familiarity with a person (which *can* be gained quickly).\n* Love must inspire a person to be better than they currently are.\n\nMany people who claim they are in love really are not. It is common for immature people to say they are in love because they have not had enough of the hard-earned experience understanding their emotions which is required to recognize the difference between love and infatuation.

Thinking has nothing to do with Love.  Thinking is what prevents Love.  Thinking is how humans end up with emotions like jealousy, envy, sadness,  grief or depression.  No one thinks themselves into Love.\nDo I feel one can really love?  Yep, been there, done that, got the T-shirt and wore it out (the T-shirt, not the love).\nTo what extent can it go?  There are no limits.  Love expands to fill as much as one allows.  Love inspires poems, stories, movies, relationships, the very fabric of society.  Love brings out the best, improves the worst and promotes tolerance and understanding.  Not just between two people, but humanity as a whole.  Lovers usually don’t have road rage, forget their biases and ignore the need for food, rest and often even sleep.\nAnd the strangest thing about love, is just when most give up and start to believe that Love will never touch them,  BLAM, that is when Love usually finds them.\nLove is the greatest mystery in a Universe of Unknowns and Unknowables.

love is when u always are thinking about that person, when you've resolved all problems your relationship has faced, when you care so deeply that you would travel across the world just to see that person for a day. that's love

I have not much other than my own experience (thirty something years) to tell you that love as some of the emotions that we have can be explained scientifically to a certain extent.  By definition, you are very correct on your belief; it is also important that you maintain an open mind (and most importantly, open heart) to consider other points of view.  I consider that 'true, profound, unconditional love' is all the same.  Unfortunately our usage of the word has become degradated and we refer to love as a lesser quality that it really is.  I do not think that the definition of love is affected by semantics as much as it is enriched by one's own experience.  My humble advice is spend less time defining it and more giving it since by doing that you will gain a broader understanding for sure.

See how your "love" compares with this definition of love:\n\n*** Love is long-suffering and kind. \n\n*** Love is not jealous.\n\n*** Love does not brag nor get puffed up.\n\n*** Love does not behave indecently. \n\n*** Love does not look for its own interests.\n\n*** Love does not become provoked. \n\n*** Love does not keep account of injuries. \n\n*** Love does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. \n\n*** Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.\n\n*** Love never fails.

Love is a process, perhaps born out of lust and/or hopefully when in love, or even in marriage in love, we can still lust for our mate.\n\n  Lust is a physical reaction to a form of attraction,,,IE: Arousal.\n\n  It may pass as rapidly as getting rejected?\n\n  Love, by popular opinion should be lasting, emotionally involved, respectfully expressed, joyfully shared and not taken for granted.\n\n   It's also an irrational emotion, often causing pain in the same heartbeat as joy. It may have many definitions, and all may fit with respect to the Two who are personally involved.\n\nRev. Steven

God.\n\nGod is Love.\n\nI'm not religious but spirit real.\n\nLove is the one attribute of God that exists in all of us. It is eternal and is the one thing we all seek.\n\nLove is the "voluntary" commitment to the welfare of another, to nourish them and give them life. When you truly love someone, you "give" love. With all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your might, you "voluntarily" commit yourself to the welfare of that other person - without expecting anything in return.\n\nWhen you truly do this, you will experience "true" love.\n\nFor the only "love" that is true is the love that is given.\n\nFor God so loved the world, that He gave Himself...

In our society love seems to be whatever someone likes. The Bible calls what we call love - Lust. In the Bible love is not a feeling but a character quality the root of which is giving. People who give of themselves to meet the need of others are exercising love. The Bible never defines love, but it does describe it in 1 Corinthins 13. "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 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.   8 Love never fails"

that's a unsolved mystery. love is defined by many people i would say it is when you know what makes you happy in a relationship and the person is doing everything they can to come close to that. same goes for you if you are in a relationship think if you are doing everything to come close to make the person happy. but look inside and see if you love yourself and why.
