'love' is when you realise that someone else' happiness and well-being are more important to you than your own.
if you would rather suffer yourself than have someone else suffer - you love that person.
parents love children this way, husbands love wives this way, Jesus Christ loved the whole world this way during His passion.
when a teenager says: 'you shouldn't treat me so badly!' that is the opposite of love.

This is what I think that Love is!
Love is, an admiration that last till death do we part!
Love is, the promise we share right from the very start!
Love is, Emotions that stay in our hearts!
Love is, a bond that remains deep with-in!
Love is, the desires we share from beginning to end!
Love is, the true friendship we will forever share!
Love is an Eternity that can never be despaired!
Love is, A gift from our Holy Lord!
When we endure his precious gift,
We are keeping our hearts & minds
Opened to our Holy Lord,
In the beautiful heavens Above
Forever more!!!!!!!

According to Robert Sternberg's research, "Love" is an emotion consisting of three components: intimacy, passion & committment.
Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.
-Intimacy alone is Liking (true friendship without passion or long-term commitment)
Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone. Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.
-Passion alone is Infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment)
Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship. Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.
-Commitment alone is Empty Love (decision to love another without intimacy or passion)
Romantic Love: Intimacy & Passion, no Commitment
-Lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment
-“As in a summer romance”
Companionate Love: Intimacy & Commitment, but no Passion
-Long-term committed friendships or a marriage in which the passion has faded
-I love you but I’m not IN love with you
Fatuous Love: Passion & Commitment, but no Intimacy
-Commitment based on passion with without time for intimacy to develop
-Shallow relationship such as a whirlwind courtship
Consummate Love: A complete love consisting of all three components

This is what I think romantic love is...
Waster matter pushed out through the anus!!!!
An excuse to share the mortgage!!!!
The reason for crap movies with annoying stars who keep on insisting they haven't had plastic surgery!!!!
A reason for two people to spend their entire lives fighting over the remote control!!!!
A complete and utter waste of time that could be better spent killing annoying stars and ensuring crap movies stop getting made!!!!
Mustard seeds...planted by God, watered with piss!!!!
LOVE - the all-consuming emotion that gets you absolutely nowhere!!!!
Share the LOOOOOVE!!!!
