Answer 1

love is to be able to see your soul in someone else's eyes

Answer 2

Love is pure and simple. It looks in the best interest of another, overlooks the pet peeves, gives the truth even when it hurts. It doesn't have to end in marriage for it's something that can be shown to everyone. If you're looking for something to read, dig up information on the Greek words for love and their meanings -Eros, philia, agape- Love is a beautiful thing.

"Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. "

Answer 3

Love is caring for someone's soul.
It is wanting someone to be happy.

There is a difference of course between spiritual love for all humanity, and romantic love between husband and wife which is unique. But the more you can foster general love for all people, the more clear your path in life to find your unique marriage partner.

For the best quotes, look online or at the bookstore for a mini-book called "True Love" that has historical quotations and romantic paintings. It usually lists for about 5 or 6 dollars. This books makes the best romantic or wedding gift, next to "The Prophet" by Kahil Gibran, which is a classic.

Answer 4

Love is the ability to over look someone's imperfections and choose to be with them no matter what. Love is working out problems. Holding each others hands even if you would rather be spacking them with your hand. Love is being broke but still finding joy in eating PB&J and watching a crappy movie together.

Answer 5

Keep hiding behind the books with a false sense of reality, and you may never find true love.

Answer 6

Love is social engeneering's greatest accomplishment, and it is enforced and taught since the beginning of a social unit's lifespan by it's very own parental units. It moderates passion - if not, ask yourself why 'for one reason or another' we submissively accept monogamy as the only form of (sexual) relationship which could ever involve love, when many of us have experienced otherwise (or have you NEVER thought of being with 'someone else' while coursing a monogamous relationship?). In turn, the moderation of passion has economic purposes at base, for obvious reasons; social structure could never be as organized micro or macroeconomically if there did not exist a typical family unit to which we are all encouraged to strive towards early on, which from a utilitarian viewpoint organizes our survival and, at best, the form of use of economic surplus, if any. In relation to this, the moderation of passion indirectly extends economic prevention of catastrophe (famine, disease) by curbing the exessive production of offspring, since the care of too many young social units could really put the parental units in a bind, both economically and emotionally speaking.

Given that I can forsee the existance of polygamy in some societies can be used to forclose my argument here, I'd like to address this by analyzing it as a counterexample of sorts: you do in fact have the Muslims, among which polygamy is to a certain extent tolerated, but if and only if the man in question can in fact support and provide economically both for his wives as well as any resultant offspring; this condition sine qua non only serves to indicate that love indeed has a very important economic basis, so important that there are in fact several ways to abide the all-encompassing economic regulation of sexuality, which -I shall state it clearly here- is the source and raison d'ètre of the social construction of love. We in the West understandably chose the most hassle-free forms of love in tems of emotional consequences; monogamy really gets along well with pride. After all, I wouldn't be too comfortable with the idea that someone else 'loves' my partner, and she 'loves' them right back. but it's all in the upbringing provided me by my parental units, is all. However, the faultiness of monogamy gives place to deviant lifestyles -yes deviant, I am not judging anyone here, but they do digress from the norm, thus, deviant- such as recourse to infidelity and the visitation of loose women, to put it in biblical terms.

However, one must admit in one's own inner workings at least the occasional desire to be with someone else, if not only once, in order to see that it is not necessary to go to such extremes as infidelity or the use of prostitutes to aknowledge that there is something fishy about love as we were taught it.
