Love involves a willingness to sacrifice for the sake of the beloved. Love is a state of will; sentimentality is a state of feeling. Love is something active; sentimentality is something passively undergone.

Love is something you can#t explain. And you can't defend it.
It's a feeling. And you don't know why it is so. Can you tell me, why you like this colour more and why this pizza is the best? It's just a feeling. And this will differ from person to person.
Is love sentimental? That depends on your definition of sentimental. Sorry, I can't answer...

What else IS love other than sentimental. What would be the point i being in love if it weren't for sentiment. That is kinda the point in it. If you don't feel that way..you are in the wrong relationship with the wrong person.

Love is the Queen of the Christian graces. It is a holy disposition given to us when we are born again by God. It is the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. True spiritual love is characterized by meekness and gentleness, yet it is vastly superior to the courtesies and kindnesses of the flesh.
We must be careful not to confuse human sentimentality, carnal pleasantries, human amiability and affability with true spiritual love. The love God commands, first to Himself and then to others, is not human love. It is not the indulgent, self-seeking love which is in us by nature. If we indulgently allow our children to grow up with little or, no Scriptural discipline, Proverbs plainly says we do not love them, regardless of the human sentimentality and affection we may feel for them. Love is not a sentimental pampering of one another with a loose indifference as to our walk and obedience before the Lord. Glossing over one another's faults to ingratiate ourselves in their esteem is not spiritual love.
The true nature of Christian love is a righteous principle which seeks the highest good of others. It is a powerful desire to promote their welfare. The exercise of love is to be in strict conformity to the revealed will of God. We must love in the truth. Love among the brethren is far more than an agreeable society where views are the same. It is loving them for what we see of Christ in them, loving them for Christ's sake.
The Lord Jesus Himself is our example. He was not only thoughtful, gentle, self-sacrificing and patient, but He also corrected His mother, used a whip in the Temple, Severely scolded His doubting disciples, and denounced hypocrites. True spiritual love is above all faithful to God and uncompromising towards all that is evil. We cannot declare, 'Peace and Safety' when in reality there is spiritual decay and ruin!
True spiritual love is very difficult to exercise because it is not our natural love. By nature we would rather love sentimentally and engender good feelings. Also many times true spiritual love is not received in love, but is hated as the Pharisees hated it. We must pray that God will fill us with His love and enable us to exercise it without dissimulation toward all.
Real love is not sappy sentimentality, cloying need, or coercive caretaking. Love is respect, appreciation, acceptance, support, understanding, and genuine positive regard.
Love means that we grow and move from an inner directive that is uniquely ours. Love means that though we can know and feel ourselves, we can never fully know what is best for someone else - because we are not in their bodies and feelings. Love is letting each person be what they are. And being fully what we are is freedom.
To be loved is to feel freedom - the freedom to be what we are and do what we need to do. If we have inner blocks and wounds that need to flow out, we are free to let them flow. We are free to let the inner genius of healing happen without suppression of any kind - provided that we don't inhibit the freedoms of others.
