God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.

Love is an emotion that nearly everyone has experienced at some time in their life. One would think that with such a familiar concept, researchers would agree on what constitutes love and how to measure it. That has not been the case. Most research on love is based on a priori theoretical conceptualizations. It's quite possible that if a researcher starts out by defining love and then develops a measure to quantify that conceptualization, the results would tend to reflect this process.
There are many types of love however:
Infatuated love
Affection Love
Sexual Love
Platonic Love
Friendship Love
Puppy Love
Empty Love
Romantic Love
Passionate Love
Infatuation Love
Companionate Love
Fatuous Love
Consumate Love
Committed Love
Love Acts Behaviors are classified in terms of the functions they serve in facilitating reproduction. Four love tasks: 1) to attract a mate; 2) to retain the mate; 3) to reproduce; and 4) parental investment.
Love Styles Primary love styles: Eros - Love at first sight, based on physical attributes and is mostly physical arousal; Storge - loving affection that develops over time, is primarily affection and commitment; Ludos - a rover and collector of loves, very pluralistic. Secondary love styles: Mania - intense preoccupation with the loved one, intensly jealous and possessive, in need of constant reassurance of partner's love. Projects desired qualities on partner. Pragma - looking for a compatible partner; Agape - Selfless, caring without self interest
Passionate and companionate love Passionate love is an intense state of longing for union with another. It has three components: 1) cognitive - intrusive preoccupation with the person, idealization of that person, and desire to know the person; 2) Emotional - Attraction/Sexual attraction, positive and negative feelings, longing for reciprocity, desire for union, physiological arousal; and 3) Behavioral - Actions to determine the other's feelings, studying the person, service to the person, maintaining physical closeness. Companionate love is the affection that we feel for those with whom our lives are deeply intertwined.

love to me is always thinking about someone. You will find someone in your life that makes u feel awsome and happy. Someone who u will want to share everything with all the time and that u dont need to cheat on. The girl i feel in love with i lost but when i was with her i didnt look at other girls and want to take them home or be with them. I built my life around the person i loved and she was my best friend not just a girl i slpet with,

love is a sepcial feeling for some one a feeling that you would do anything for that person a feeling that makes you smile just thinking of that individual, a intense liking to be in the presence of that person. If you actually like a person for a long time;months or years despite knowing his or her ways,diposition then you can consider it love.

Life's purpose is to perfect ourselves - to improve to the best of our abilities and use these abilities to make this world a better place for all.
Love is the catalyst.
May it be painful for us, or satisfying for us, I think that should be love's purpose - to help us bring out the best in all of us.

Love is when you find someone of the opposite sex to be your best friend forever. It's someone you'd do anything for and never let go.

What does love mean? love-when you get butterfly in your stomach when you see the person, when you feel like you are going to die when you don't see him/her, when you constantly think of them...when you can't go a day without saying i love you to them! :)

love is not a feeling. it is an action. when you think you are in love, youdont know for sure. you have to wait and play it out before you can really figure out if they are the one for you or not.
