real love is alot of things. one of these things is sacrifice. the bible says love is patient, kind, it keeps no record of wrongs, it protects, and it makes you want to put someone elses needs above your own. the perfect description of love is jesus, who died to save others.

One can't fall in love with someone by just looking at his physical appearance.Love is a feeling that develops over a period of time. You love someone when you know that person really well for a long time.Most people tend to use the word love for mere physical attraction which is wrong. I guess this is because they just don't know what the real love is and frankly not many people get to experience the true love.
I think love is an extension of friendship.People tend to use the word "love" very loosely. People talk about they fell in love with someone at first sight and all, but it is just physical attraction. The true love begins when you know a person for a while from close quarters and you like that person for who he is as a person and as a human being. You will see many couples telling others about how much they love each other and then after a few years of marriage they get divorced this happens because they didn't love each other, they were just infatuated with each other. If there is true love from both the sides then such things will not happen. Because in true love there is a strong spiritual connection between two people which doesn't get broken no matter what..

Love between two people?
It's nothing. Just a fatal attraction that eventually fades. People change all the time, their personalities, their behavior, everything about them is constantly in devlopment. Everyone says while going through a divorce that "he/she changed; that wasn't the person I married" B.S. Same person, different attitude, different perspective on life, etc. There is no such thing as true love because (especially in today's world) it is based soley on appearance and FU to people who say otherwise because it is the truth. The first thing you see if how the person looks (unless your as loner-freak who meets people online >.<). If the person doesn't attract the slightest attention from you, your not going to see him/her as "your future" and will insist it's only because you were meant to be friends. Now, personality is important, but not the first thing of importance. No matter how much you persist, it's the second-important thing. Some people are so blind to people's physical nature that they can't see past it. Lame. People who get married at 18 or whatever are brainless and most likely had a very troubled background. Even at 18 your mind is still maturing and your not sure what you want in life just yet. Those from a troubled background have been proven to be the ones more eager to find "true love" and constantly make a mountain out of a molehill. Desperate right? Even at 25 people change for their "true love", because they are determined that he/she is the one.
Marriage is suppose to be once. And only once.
No offense but I really don't want bashing from "All-Americans" The USA has the highest divorce rate so.. yeah.

I think a good start would be 1 Corthians chapter 13.
Jesus Christ is perfect love.
Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Hanging in there when the going gets rough. That's when the love that's real is shown and the love that's not diappears.

Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,
doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.

1 John 4:7 KJV: Love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. (v8) God is love.
Charity is another word for love, Biblically speaking:
1Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us what love is:
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth;

It is reciprocative. It is a service above self. It transcends your ego. It is all time, all situations' love. It is sans lust. The Arabic word AlWadood explains it ideally, and there is no equivalent in English...

Hi:
Unconditional love is found first in God, for "God is love". Love is an attribute of God, thus he is the source of love regardless of the definitions we may give.
