love is giving and not expecting something in return, also known as unconditional love. all living things respond to love, so love gives nourishment to our existence. give and you will receive.

Love is a precious gift from God. He gave it to us so we could experience the most wonderful feeling in the world.
We need to feel love, so we can live...can you imagive life without love?
Love never really goes anywhere, its like a flower that closes up for the night. When the sun comes out it blooms open again!
Yes we truly can be loved! Love is such a wonderful thing!

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

True love can only be found through the grace of God. Sounds crazy I know, but I can't express how true this is. Once you experience that love, it is the model by which everything is measured :)

If it weren't for the details I would've started quoting lines from "A Night at the Roxbury"...

Love is momentary insanity bought on by the need to copulate with another person.
