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 a married man 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.

What is love? This is an age old question that there's no real answer to. It varies from person to person, and sometimes what I see as love, someone else doesn't. But as for me, love is:
1.) Not being able to think about anyone but that one person almost constantly while doing normal, everyday things, like work, watching TV, etc.
2.) Smiling just by thinking about that person.
3.) Knowing that no matter what is going on, that everything will be okay when I see them.
There are many other things that let me know that I love someone, but these are the major indicators. I hope this helps.

In my personal experience, love is a condition...
No matter how many times people tell you that they love you, it means nothing unless they demonstrate it with actions... And that applies to you as well....
Therfore, love is when you feel the need to care for the wellfare of another person, regardless of your personal interests, and carryout those actions that are even more significant than the feeling itself.
Its a state, a condition, moved or impulsed by a feeling we call love...
Many people say "I love you" but, are there any actions that prove so? - thats up to you to answer,in fact, maybe you should let us know if there is actually love in your life. We're talking about some that is about to be extinguished...
Best wishes...

on condition that an exceptionally long term in the past, human beings have looked for the meaning of love. yet even the large philosophers, with their profound definitions, could not completely touch its actual essence. In a survey of four-8 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds, youngsters share their perspectives on love.

Love is a basic dimension of human experience that is variously conveyed as a sense of tender affection, an intense attraction, the foundation of intimacy and good interpersonal chemistry, willing self-sacrifice on behalf of another, and as an ineffable sense of affinity or connection to nature, other living beings, or even that which is unseen. It manifests itself in feelings, emotion, behavior, thoughts, perception and attitude. It influences, underlies and defines major patterns in interpersonal relationships and self-identification.

love is alot of things my dear and it will take you a very long time to figure out what it is... my experience and view on it is all of these. Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Selfcontrol. all relationships require these 8 things to really flourish. You will find it one day and when you do it will be soooo wonderful.

Love can't be put into words. Its and indescribable feeling. One can try to explain, but words can never capture the true depth of what it is.

It is a desire which is satisfied by someone else. It is a state of mind in which we chase very pleasant sensations associated with it.
