Love is to desire the highest and best thing for the sake of the beloved for everthing that I am, everything that I have I give to you because I love you. All my emotions, my joys, my pains, my talents, I give to you. Love first and foremost is a decision. You will to love. That will comes from the love of God

Love is a neurological reaction based on the instincts of empathy and altruism processed in the brainstem as consciously interpreted by the frontal lobes. It is based on either familiarity or difference, the choice of which is both environmentally and genetically influenced (some persons love people like them, some persons love people different from them).
Ultimately, it is a cost-benefit analysis processed at the neurological level -- the feedback the partner provides is sufficiently strong, and at low enough cost, that an intense desire is present to continue receiving that feedback. When it is mutual, this sets up a reinforcing cycle between the two. If at some point the cost begins to outweigh the benefit (the spouse becomes a drug addict, won't change, is abusive, etc...) then the love will fade as this reinforcement cycle has been broken. While some may continue to remain out of a sense of instinctive obligation, many at this point will admit that the love has 'gone out of the relationship' and move on.
That's it. Just a bunch of neurons firing away like a group of good little parallel processors.

Yes love makes you a happy person. The world needs more love instead of the hatred.
Always treat other people how you like to be treated yourself, and have a warm and caring nature and you wont go wrong.

God is love. Every child brought forth has seen the True Light. And a child is loved with nurturing love the moment he/she is conceived.
Love is felt and comes in different forms: unconditional, acceptance, nurturing, friendship, romantic, & hot. Jesus said that the greatest love is to give ones life for anothers life.
If I didn't believe God when He assures His love for me, I would be suicidal. God is the only one who has never let me down, rejected me or abandoned me.

Love is a mental concept that is the product of a deluded mind which clings to things/people who we perceive (albeit incorrectly) to be inherently "good" or "desireable", when in reality all concepts, people and so forth LACK inherent ANYTHING and are subject to change. More skillful thought is compassion for all sentient beings and a refusal to arrogantly have an aversion to things you perceive as "wrong", "bad", etc. and clinging to things you perceive as "good", etc. THIS and ONLY THIS is what really makes a difference in the lives of others and things around you... anything else is based on your concept of "self".
People who cling to things they perceive as inherently "good" suffer when the reality of that person/object is shown up for the fact that it IS NOT inherently "good". The suffering comes when you try to FORCE that person to continuously fit your little narrow, deluded view of what you think they should be when they suddenly, realistically and logically change to something outside of your self-cherishing view. The other source of suffering is when the impermanence of the object or person becomes apparent (ex. scratch/dent in a new car you just LOVE or a "LOVED ONE" dies).

Love comes from chemicals in my brain. It's an emotion like any other. It can cause you to make bad decisions or good ones.

My idea of love comes from the Bible: 1 Corinthians 13. Describes love exactly as God intended it to be...Love is a choice, not just a feeling.

I read where the Heart is still considered by many to be the center of emotion. Works for me.
