From the Biblical assertion that "God is love" through the modern conception as the sex act, to a denial that it even exists as an emotion, love means many things. What, apart from the dictionary defintition of it, does lave deeply mean to you?

With regards to the biological aspect, love is just an emotion illicitly brought on by different chemical and electrical responses, which trigger the sympathetic nervous system which allows the right amount of stress to occur to be alert in finding details in a potential mate that can only be found when intimately involved. Love is also the feeling brought on by the reward center in the brain for potentially finding a good mate, which releases endorphins as the reward. Those endorphins are mistaken for the feeling of love.
Of course love is also about context, so the reward center may release other good chemicals if raising young, etc.
Love with regards to philosophy, is a complex feeling that has saved and destroyed many individuals. Ergo, love can be the culprit to war and peace because it so so diverse and interpreted in a myriad of ways.
My theory on love includes the following:
Love is necessary for social beings to thrive. It is the essential element, like water, for all of us to survive.

Let me start by expressing that I loved the way you came forward and so graciously accepted responsibility for misspelling "love".
Love to me, in the romantically sense, came as one might imagine two locomotives traveling on tracks that at first appear to be distant and parallel of each other as the two trains travel along at different speeds but eventually do cross one another paths. One is the locomotion of lust that is so much faster than the other, which is emotional love. As the two trains approach the intersection, it doesn't seem as though the two trains will meet as the lust train is really ripping along. But as the slower train of emotional love approaches the intersection, IT SPEEDS UP. And, as if you didn't know, I am talking about "making love". As they both neared the intersection the one really jumps ahead and LUST and EMOTIONAL LOVE collide in a HUGE, LOUD, EXPLOSIVE fireball as they intertwine with each other and mangle together. Best orgasm ever.

Love is respect and adoration.Love is also trust , acceptance, and forgiveness. Love between two people is a fullfilling of each others needs unconditionally. Love is in teaching and sacrifice. Love is also in picking up the pieces and building one another up. Most important love comes from loving yourself, and above all i have to agree, God is love! God sets the perfect example in which to follow on love.

There is a difference between love and being in love. Sex is an act that should be performed between two people in love but in no way is love.
Love is compassion and caring, empathy and kindness, treating someone as you would like to be treated, respect, etc. God tells us to love our neighbors but he never says we have to like them.
Being in love is the feelings we feel towards our spouse and our children. We have a deep level of love and like our friends.

To me, love means having that person in your life that you trust more than anyone and just thinking about them makes you feel happy. It's a feeling where you don't even have to see the person or have any contact with them, but just knowing that they're safe and happy makes you satisfied. It's knowing that you wouldn't be able to feel this way towards anyone else.

A chemical addiction...one that can be mimicked through eating chocolate...but
To me?
Love is closing your eyes at 20 or 48, with the one you "LOVE" within your arm, seeing her at 110, and she is as the day you fell into that knowledge and chemical (im)balance...LOL...it is walking hand-in-hand, neither you in front always, nor she, and taking life together into the great beyond...iot is the knowledge that you belong somewhere

I Corinthians 13
Love is patient; love is kind.
Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way: it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
And now faith, hope, and love abide,
and the greatest of these is love.
This is one of the best definitions that I have found and it is so true......
