I disagree. I think love is very logical. There are traits that someone I look for would possess before I would fall in love with them.
Loyalty, honesty, communication skills, close to his family, the way they treat me, similar religious beliefs, similar likes and interests, love of new things and travel, must like dogs, where we want to live, what we want out of life, love of music, similar ideas on career (a working wife, a stay at home mom), children-how many and how far from now but also if you can't have children do you want to adopt.
And the number one cause of divorce: money. So a very important thing to share is the skill of working with money and similar views on money.
I think there is a very logical list for the qualities the man you marry should possess. Love isn't everything and if it were, there wouldn't be a 50%+ divorce rate.

With each guy I dated I learned one more thing to put on the list. The next guy I dated had to have all of my original list plus the new thing.

Why not try asking us to explain the theory of relativity - it would probably be easier!
I always used to think that people who said they 'just knew' when they met the 'right one' were talking rubbish. I also didn't believe in love at first sight, lust yes but love no.
I now believe in love at first sight & know what those people said about knowing it's the right one you're with.
My fella & I met online on a Friday night, he wanted to be reasonable & suggesed we got to know eachother over the course of the next month & then would look at meeting up. Over the next week we spent an avarage of 3 hrs on the internet to each other (MSN, no webcams) & then on the Thursday morning we actually spoke to each other over the phone. I knew I couldn't wait a month to meet him so Friday evening I asked him what he was doing the next day. We spent 2 hrs on the phone & a few more hours on the internet & at 8.55am on the Sat we met face to face, him having driven an hour & a half to see me.
We looked at each other, smiled & then had a huge cuddle followed by a kiss. It felt SO right & within 3 seconds we knew we'd fallen hook, line & sinker for each other. We've been together for 5 months now, I'm moving in with him next weekend having given up my job to be with him & we see ourselves being together till the day we die.
If someone asks me to explain love - I can't. I can use a hell of a lot of words to describe him, but not love it's self. So I now find myself having turned into one of those people who says they can't explain/discribe love, but you'll know it when it hits you!

love is simple you know you love someone when their happiness and well-being is more important than your own and if they love you they will feel the same for you then with mutual respect you have a good basis for a relationship
love is gentle,love is kind, love is treating people with respect, love is treating others the way you would like to be treated

The perfect description and explanation of Love is at 1Corinthians 13 from verse 4 onwards. I would quote it but someone already beat me to it! :-)

Love is a very complex emotion. I don't think there is anyway to ever understand it, you can only experience it.

It isn't touched by anyone or anything.But I feel it with my heart within a thing or person.They may pay the patience on you and always cheer you up.Also,they usually forgive you or teach or protect you.I can feel this way in my life.Love can be simple,but never be cheap.

Love is patient, kind, does not boast, is not proud, is not rude, is not self seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no records of wrong doing, does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, never fails.
