My Grandfather said, "Love is a crazy understanding between two foolish people"....He and my Grandmother were married 58 years before he died....
I know when I have been in Love, I have felt crazy and foolish.
Maybe he knew what he was talking about.

My definition of love used to be this overwhelming warm, fuzzy feeling. When you see her, the world seems beautiful, the birds are singing, and everything reminds you of her. Your heart races whenever she walks into the room.
That is "being in love." This emotional reaction is a lot of fun but we shouldn't confuse these feelings with love itself. Some people think that they can tell how long a relationship will last based upon how powerful the feelings of attraction are. They spend massive amounts of time trying to decide whether or not they're "in love."
What they're overlooking is that love is a decision to do what is best for another person, even if the warm fuzzies are long gone. But it's not enough to want to do what is good for the other. We must form our minds according to the truth that God has revealed so that we know what is good for the other, and we are not just doing whatever feels good. Once we know what is good for the other, all that remains is to follow through and live out that love in our actions.
I think the biggest difference between love and infatuation is that love does not "happen" to couples--it is something they do. It is a task. If the initial excitement of a relationship tapers off and we conclude from this that love is gone, we can be sure that love was never there to begin with. After all, if love is simply about having romantic feelings, how could a bride and groom promise each other that their marriage will last "until death do us part"? More likely, it would last until boredom do us part. Therefore, you can not determine the worth of a relationship by measuring the intensity of emotions.
Suppose you're married guy and your pregnant wife has food cravings. It is four in the morning, and she wants you to go to the grocery store to get her fudge-brownie ice cream, pickle juice, and beef jerky. You roll over and look at your bride and she does not seem to be glowing like she did on your wedding day. At four in the morning, your world is not looking beautiful and the singing birds have gone mute. But after kissing her fevered forehead, you walk out the door and drive to the store. Has love gone away? Actually, it's more real than ever.

Defined @ answers.com:
1) A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
2) A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.
Really nobody knows how to define it, it is different for every person and for every relationship in which love is present for that person.
You will know it after you have felt it, but you will also mistake infatuation for love alot while you are young. Good luck!

I Corinthians 13:1-8 talks about charity which is love. Charity or love suffereth long, and is kind. That means love is being patient and kind. Charity envieth not, which means love is not envious of no one or nothing (jealous). Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, (that means it is not proud, or arrogant). Charity doth not behaveth itself unseemly (does not act foolish), seeketh not her own (is not selfish), is not easily provoked (is not too sensitive) thinketh no evil: rejoiceth not in iniquity (rejoices not in sin) but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth. God is love and love is God. To know real love you must know God, for love comes from God. Love is beautiful when you know God and understand God. Get to know God and you will know true love. You cannot find it anywhere else, so save yourself the heartache. It's all in Jesus.

There's no single definition to describe love.
For me, it's a multitude of smaller feelings that add up to something that is greater than the sum of it's parts. It's infatuation plus emotion plus desire.

Love is sticking it out through thick and thin. Not bailing when things get tough.
