There is no real answer to this question but what I have learned of what love is to me and that is the word LOVE itself holds the answer.......
(L)isten: and Validate them by hearing and empathizing.
(O)verlook: their minor character flaws as they will overlook yours.
(V)alue: who they are and what they mean to you.
(E)xpress: how you love them not just with words but with actions.

Love is a condition or phenomenon of emotional primacy, or absolute value. Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects, including self love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person. Love is commonly considered impossible to define.
The concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of absolutist love, calling it a recently invented abstraction. Moreover, approximately 13 percent of cultures reportedly have no word for love.[1] Others maintain that love exists but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. Love is one of the most common themes in art. An unfinished debate about the authenticity of love as other-regard began with Friedrich Nietzsche's charge that love is merely an ideology constructed by the weak to mask "resentment" about their lack of power. Critics of Nietzsche's view find gratuitous his assumptions that self-interest and the "will to power" overshadow all other concerns.

True love is when one is ready to sacrifice his own life for the other. When the power of love is not in words but in deeds. And love,real one,is above all..

Good question! Unfortunately, too many confuse lust and desire with love which is the opposite. Lust/desire seeks to satisfy selfish needs; love refuses to seek self first but rather seeks for the best for another. Remember the movi "Bedazzled"? The last wish Brendan Fraser's character makes was love, the first six were lust...

Love is the phenomenon of cristalisation of your own " what I would like my boyfriend/girlfriend to be like", into a real person. So you don't fall inlove with the real person but with an idealised image of that person.

GOD is love. Love is wanting the best for someone even if the best doesn't involve yourself.
