in Western society we only have the word love trying to cover so much.
In the Bible their is agape love which is brotherly, friendship type love, and Zoe love which is much deeper, closer more committed. It is a love that will sacrifice, will overlook hurt, will love no matter what, it is this love that Jesus loves us with.

This is a good question; this word is difficult to define. To some it may be a way to define a level of priority, or a desire. It could be a “knee jerk" emotional response caused by a chemical reaction in our brains. Or “Love” could also be defined as a longing for someone or something a person has grown dependent on. For me, it is the word I use to describe my decision, that if required I would risk all that I have to keep it, or for it.

The deepest form of affection. Not some big elaborate thing the media would have us believe. (Wow, that sounds really anti-establishment, haha)
I don't believe there really is a "one love" out there for you to meet. If you think about it, actually meeting one person thoughout the entire Earth is a 1 in 3 billion chance.
It just all boils down how well two people connect and how much they have in common in comparison to others. 'Love' is just a strong like.
Also: Good question, but I don't really see how this involves religion and spirituality.

Knowing in your mind, heart and soul, that someone or something completes your life, and makes you feel whole.

Love means: accept the faults of others as you would accept your own faults, see others as a ray of sunshine and put a smile on your face as you meet them, be there for someone who needs you, and ask when you need someone, be willing to give up anything for another person because you truly care about them. Never judge, condemn or berate another person. This is LOVE, HELP NEVER HURT.

"Love" means to be with someone till death do us part, caring, responsibility to each other. Understand each others hearts. You feel lonely or worried if he/she is not around.
You will know when he/she is just around the corner, sometime you need trust in any relationship. The feeling you have for each other just cant be described. You will just know it that you are made for each other.
After 23yrs of marriage, I still love him.

It depends on the context. I can love pizza, I can love my family, I can love my girlfriend, and I can love my neighbor. All these have a different context.
If I love pizza, what I am really saying is that I really like the way pizza tastes, and I really enjoy eating it.
If I say I love my family, I am saying that I accept them unconditionally, and would be their if they needed me, and I would defend their honor and life if I had to. This is different from the former.
If I say I love my girlfriend, then I am saying that there is no other woman in the world I want to be with other than her, and that I am willing to lay aside everything I want to meet her needs and wants inspite of myself and others. This is different than my family because I can't love them like I love her.
Lastly, I say I love my neighbor, that means I am willing to help him out with not anticipation of him loving me back. This entails helping him out in a bind, loaning him my rake or lawn mower, and things like that. This is different that the aforementioned love.
This is a high level view of the different kinds of love. There is a lot of overlap, but each is distinct in its own right. To me, this is what it means to love.

Love is not counting the many times you get hurt, but counting on the many ways you find strength out of the hurts and finding meaning on sharing still that love and making others find meaning with their life

Love is similar to a 'business transaction' in a way... Why?? Because you invested time, efforts, love, care,sometimes money to buy gifts for that person or the relationship itself.. In Love & Business, there is no guarantee that you will receive "profits" after "investing".
