Well, if you mean lasting love, as opposed to infatuation, or lust (both much faster to develop and easier to identify)...
> there's a mutuality to lasting love. A shared understanding, acceptance, and enjoyment.
> you like who you are when you're together - you bring out the best in each other.
> you want to build together - love is active. Love wants to improve things, better things - yourselves, and the world around you.
> you become each others' safe harbor. You know you can count on this person, trust him, and he can trust you.
> you're ready to roll up your sleeves and do the work required to keep a relationship healthy over time, and he is, too.
My husband and I knew we were in love when we realized that there was always one person we wanted to tell things to, share things with. One person who would try to understand, accept, support. We felt safer, stronger, more comfortable, happier together.
Infatuation or lust can flame up in a heartbeat. Love takes time to develop, needs experience and knowledge of yourself and the other person. Love is creative - you build a relationship together.
Sometimes it's easier to identify what love isn't. Love isn't jealousy - that's posessiveness and a desire to control. Love isn't violence. Love isn't cruelty or unkindness.
When you hurt someone you love (and it happens), you burn with the need to set it right, make amends, help to heal the hurt you caused.
Someone once said that love is "a condition whereby another person's happiness is as important as one's own." I think that's certainly a part of it, if not the whole.

You know you love him....because he just becomes a reason to get up in the morning, he´s like a part of you that just makes YOU a whole lot happier and brighter everyday. Like the movie Jerry McGuire: "He completes you."
And if you don´t..... sometimes the very thought of having sex with him just doesn´t cut it. Kind of like kissing a brother.

we are always in love with one thing or another.
to check with what you are in love most, just relax and close your eyes, try getting connected to your inner self and then concentrate on it.the first image or thought u get is what you are in love with.

If it's me, it's love. If not, it's not love.
