I would say they are two very different things...
Love is something that is felt for a very long time
Lust can begin and end in like five minutes.
I wouldnt say that luct is necessary but it can be a part of love!!!

Love is an emotion; lust is a state of mind.
Yes, lust is definitely necessary where love lives. I lust after my wife after 20 years just like I did when I first met her.

Love is your emotional attachment to the person, the close and intimate feelings you have when you are with them.
Lust is the physical and hormonal draw to them. When you find yourself very drawn to their body (finding the face, arms, whatever . .attractive) or when you're sexually aroused.
That's just the basics haha.
In my opinion, it is necessary to have both. As a woman, for me personally, lust comes after love. I need to be drawn to the person's personality and feel close to them to be able to feel lustful towards them. Women's brains tend to be much more emotional than physical, versus men's brains who are more physical.
This is also what makes it harder for a woman to be turned on physically. If she isn't being aroused, something is wrong. There are countless reasons for this.
However, for a good solid loving relationship, the lust is a major part of it. Some people (those who may be against sex before marriage, etc) may argue differently, but I feel that physical connection - even if it is only hugging or kissing - is very important in any relationship. It adds another dynamic and level to love and be loved on. Love and lust can be inseparable and are two halves of the whole of the relationship.

I think there is a difference. You can lust for someone and not love them. But to truly love someone you will lust after them. Lust is what you feel when you a person that you want to get to know them really bad, then find that you may not love them

Resarch shows that people are fiirst brought together by Lust. Most people when deciding to enter a relationship, can't get enough of play between the sheets. However, Love is something that grows as two people get more and more familiar with each other. Love either grows or dies or never happens. Whats interresting is that as powerfull as lust is, Love is more powerfull. No one has committed sueicide from lust, but they have from broken Love.

Love is an all encompassing relationship between a man and a woman whereas lust is purely sexual in nature. However, depending upon the couple, a certain amount of lust within that loving relationship is desirable if not essential.

There is a big difference between the two. Lust is something or someone that you want....very badly....not exactly need but you want and when you get it...it might or might not be what you expected. Love is undescribable. Its a feeling of being wanted and cared for. Its a feeling of wanting and caring for someone. If you have lust for someone that is not love but if you have love for someone it can be in two different ways. True love or love for a friend or family member.

Lust can be a part of love, but love is never a part of lust...If you are talking about romantic love, yes some degree of lust is essential, but I love my brothers and there is no lust involved, so love can exist without, but I dont think that is what you were getting at...

Lust is the physical desire to have sex, now period! Love is a emotional bond.. You can have love without lust and still have sex. Its just that the sex is not the all consuming thing that it is when you are talking about lust.
This is why some (not all) men cheat on their wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands. Men can say "I wanted sex and that is not love so its not cheating." Because, to these guys, the lust drives them to have sex but they do not have the emotional feeling of love...

lust is just wanting to screw someones brains out because of a physical attraction. love is where you would do the same thing even if they gained 100 lbs or had their nose burned off. but yes love along with lust helps
