Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. It is considered a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships. However, in different contexts, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include Platonic love, religious love, familial love, and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including activities and foods. This diverse range of meanings in a single word is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the word's versatility and complexity.
Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love". As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.

Love means- a fixed state of mind where one near us seems larger than life and without whom there is no existence,happiness and pleasure.He appears better than anyone else-your parents and brothers.It is a kind of non physical orgasm,sometimes near to idiocy.It is sudden rush of suppressed hormones when someone of our imagination incarnates near neighbor.

Love is when you are willing to cut your wifes toenails, because she had a back operation and she cant bent over that far... While you doing this both of you laugh at the situation.
Stuff like that. Not puppy "LOVE". Thats the real deal

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.

There is no words that can tell you what love is.Love is something that you feel from inside.You can tell someone that you love them.But when you can show them with out trying is when it is true.
