The true meaning of love is sacrifice. Willingness to give everything you have to someone else if they ask for it, because you know they would only ask for it if they had to have it. If theres a single thing you wouldnt give up for the person you "love" then youre not in love with that person.

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

Can you live the rest of your life without them.
Will you lay aside everything that you want, every dream, motivaition and deep desire - all for the best of your lover.
The sex is just an expression of those feelings.
By the way LADIES - when you with-hold sex from your man, you are telling him that you don't love him.
By the way GUYS - when you are selfish and pig-headed, and don't listen to your woman and dis-count her thoughts and opinions, you are telling her you don't love her.

It is when the person with you makes you a better person and when you can't imagine wanting to spend any future day without the person you are in love with. What is it not? Deep infatuation and sudden arrousal.

Nobody probably doesn't really know, but I will take a guess. It is probably the deep connection between one another. The experessions and feelings that they both have. And the way they feel towards each other. That is what I believe.

Holding her hair back when she's puking over the toilet. Wiping the pee off the toilet seat. Eating onions and kissing. Helping each other change the kid's nasty diapers. Changing your mate's diapers after being married for 50 years. Being able to laugh about it.
