love is an illusion. People are desperate to find great "love" A better description would be to say you find things or people you enjoy, are infatuated with, lustful for, etc.. There are emotions that people experience like anger, happy, sad. When you go through these emotions for long periods of time with someone you are compatible with(whether a friend, partner, or relative) you assume love because everyone around you proclaims love and most people throw around the term "I love you" because it either makes them feel better or they believe it makes you feel better. Love is something people are taught whereas there is true affection that is natural of human nature, but love is something that society throws around to help give life meaning.

Peaceful, Gentle & Kind!
True love rests the heart from turmoil, finds the heart relaxed and happy and provides warmth and peace to the soul.
Humble
True love is humbled love. Humble people make the best mates! Their own humility is the foundation for their ability to love.
Honest & Truthful! True love is wanting to be honest at all times! This is the only way true love survives. Honesty builds trust.
Unselfish
True Love is a "giver". Each partner realizes the needs of one another, and wants to give it to each other.
Enduring
True loves pledges themself to one another for life!
Encouraging!
True love for another always wants what is best. Jealousy or envy does not enter into the heart because true love cares only to see the other be the best they can be!
Patient
True love is never hurried, always takes the time to see through every situation. True love waits for each other, no matter what, for what ever, and........whenever.
This is what love isn't:
True love is NOT based on sexual love. Many people confuse LOVE with sex, and this is a very sad situation. True love combined with sexual love between two married people is important to the oneness of the relationship, Keep sex in perspective as to what it is intended it to be! Otherwise, you will find yourself never sastified.....and the result is devastating!
True love is NOT found on the outside! You know the old story...."You can't judge a good book by its cover"True love looks at people from the inside, this is where "true beauty" lies, make no mistake about this one! People who "seem" average on the outside become above average when you get to know the real person that lives inside. There are many, many single people who would make fabulous mates, but are overlooked because they won't make the cover of your favorite magazine. true Love rests deep inside within the heart, NEVER on the outside!
True love is NOT ruining your life because someone has a problem. Everyone is responsible for their own life, actions and decisions.True love is NOT selfish! Selfish people make miserable mates!True love is NOT measured in dollars! No amount of money in the world will bring you true love! Problems just get more expensive with money! True love is NOT found in an unhealthly self esteem! How many people in this world believe that love will make them happy! If you are not happy now, no one else can bring that to you! You need to find your own love in yourself before you can adequately love anyone else. True love is NOT abusive! Without a doubt, any type of abusive behavior by either person is NOT LOVE! Love is the gentleness of the human heart! Everyone deserves to be happy. Take the time to find a good mate for yourself.

Love is something that takes you by surprise. One day, you look at your mate, who by the way is sitting in bed throwing up all over the place, and you think, "geeze, theres no where else I'd rather be"! THAT is love! To be with someone and support them through thick and thin.
Being affectionate does not hurt though, by stroking their hair as you hold their head while they are throwing up.

To love is to seek the good for the self or for the other.
The good is the highest value (summum bonum) sought for its own sake.
The good is the end in itself.
The good is the knowledge of God.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
