Do they all mean the same thing?

The difference is in the way these words are used...
But In my opinion, if you are talking about relationships, life and companionship…
the answer is....Yes..they all mean the same thing..to different degrees..
Admire: To regard with wonder and delight; to look upon with an elevated feeling of pleasure,
Adore: To love in the highest degree; to regard with the utmost esteem and affection
Devotion: The state of being devoted; addiction; eager inclination; strong attachment love or affection
Worship: To honor with extravagant love and extreme submission, as a lover; to adore; to idolize.
Love does include Admiration, Adoration Devotion, and Worship, these things are needed in a relationship.
What love is, is something that can not be put in to words very easily.

All used interchangably in lines when trying to get someone to bed. Nothing new here, so it must work..time proven sort of thing, I suppose. And, usually, all are said as an overstatement, aren't they. What we admire or adore one moment seems to change with the mood. Worship??? that one I don't think I have ever said to anyone...does it really work? If so, i will try it tonight! Good luck

We all admire our idol for whatever traits they posses that make them our idol. We love our parents and family, while we adore our latest hubby. Devotion is the word used to describe a wife taking care of her dying husband to his last breath, and we all worship G-d for his infinite wisdom.

I admire your work
I love your hair
I adore the way you think of me.
And I respect your devotion to your God.
You worship that which is Holy.

They're all verbs apart from 'devotion'.
('Love' and 'worship' could be nouns or verbs.)
They all mean slightly different aspects of the same thing.
