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 love. Others call it a recently invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages (though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry). Others maintain that love really exists, is not an abstraction, but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self esteem" to another. And others attempt to define love and apply the definition to everyday life.

Love is a two part emotion. The primary part is that it is an instinctive attractive response regulated by the medulla oblongota. This instinctive response is a component of the altruistic urge. The secondary part is the conscious awareness of this instinct as interpreted by our prior experiences.
Ultimately, to paraphrase the writers of Star Trek: the Next Generation (who's quote is biochemically accurate) -- Love is nothing but the chemical equivalent of eating large amounts of chocolate.

Love to a human is when u rather yourself to be harm to protect the one u love.
Love to God means u will praise and glorify Him regularly and shall obey all His law and command.

are you seeking to Understand human emotional love or DEVINE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is litterally GOD,it is the glue holding the universe together. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is in your heart,it is what prompts you to seek GOD. as sunlight passing through water crystals changes into the colors of the rainbow so does the light of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE passing through the mind and emotions changes into duality and divides into emotional love/hate. all the spectrum of emotions.

If someone hits you or tries to kill you, they don't love you. They are sick. You need to get counselling.

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.
