I'd say that Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" is pretty phenomenal and a classic. A number of people have incorporated exerpts from his poem "On Marriage" into their wedding vows. You can read excerpts care of the site below. Enjoy!

Without a doubt, Shakespeare is the individual most accredited with thinking out the intricacies of love. I recommend Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis but note the fact that it will be an arduous journey but difficult journeys are the most worthwhile for when you know that you understand something significant relatively well it will change you. Shakespeare shows us that this thing that we call love is a monster with many faces. Venus will do anything, say anything, so that Adonis will choose to be hers. The neediness of love is very much explored in this book. The Sonnets show us that love is rarely a complete thing. We may love someone and yet that person is of the same gender and thus the relationship is platonic while we have a sexual relationship with a woman who never seems important to us. Shakespeare explores a love triangle and loves that do not match everything that he needs. For a summation of what love is, however, what can be more thoughtful than Plato's Symposium. It is not poetry but a full understanding of love

Wuthering Heights has to be the most powerful love story ever written, as you read it you can actually feel Cathy & Heathcliffe's love for each other along with the total pain Heathcliffe feels when Cathy dies.
