what is love?

Answer 1

an emotion.

Answer 2

Yes, love definitely exists and it comes in many different forms and expressions.
If you put another person's needs and happiness above your own without expecting something in return, that is love.

Two people who choose to spend their lives together monogamously because of a deep sense of companionship, connection and affection. Well, that is love.

Love can come in small acts of kindness, like lending money to a friend, serving others in some humanitarian way, raising children, etc...

Love is an action, but it is also a feeling. Love can bring the most intense pleasure you've ever experienced or the deepest pain. To deny the existence of love is merely semantic. Everyone has experienced love in some form or another.

Love is a free gift. It cannot be bought or sold.

Love is always worth the risk. Love is a battlefield. Love is the only reason to get up in the morning and the only thing we can leave behind when we die.

Answer 3

Basically there are two types of people and two types of romantic love (although type two has a variation for most types of platonic relationships also. You see it often with mothers toward their children.)
Love type one: Eros love
- This is what they are talking about when you read about the love chemical. It has a huge effect on this stage of love. This is the love Jack and Rose had for each other in Titanic. You feel it in the beginning of a relationship. You are completely obsessed with the other person. Passion and fire is rampant. You rarely think of other things. You tell people you are in love. They can do no wrong in your eyes. It is exciting. You feel completely desired, wanted, and worthwhile. This love has an expiration date. It wears off. You start to see their flaws. It gets old. I've heard this can last up to about three years. Some people let the "love" go, saying it has become boring and they don't feel the same way. Often this is for the best, but sometimes they let go because of immaturity and look for the next best thing, the next high. This first stage of love has to happen to get to the next one. I'm sort of glad it expires, because you wouldn't be very productive or balanced if you were completely obsessed with a person forever.
Love type two: Agape love (agape is an old greek word for "love feast" and I've often heard it adopted in this culture to describe this second type of love)
- If you are lucky, you go into this second stage. This is commitment love. It is characterised by unconditional positive regard, patience, and self-sacrifice. There are ups and downs, but you stick with it bc you realize that real love isn't a feeling, it's actions, loyalty, and grace. This takes maturity and you generally have to have developed a real friendship with the person that will whether the ebb and flow of emotions. Sometimes the fire re-surfaces on special occasions, but it's not as all-consuming or long-lasting and brainless as eros was. This is what the 80 year olds celebrating their 60th anniversary have. This love protects the other's heart and shows love with actions even when they don't FEEL love for the other. Obviously, it seems like this is rare, and it is pretty rare. It requires unselfishness and for people to lay down their pride from time to time. That also takes intelligence. But it happens. They may not always be perfect to each other, but by and large, they go the distance because the majority of the time spent together is this kind of eternal love. You just have to realize that in real life, it's not the fantasy people represent it to be. It's work, it's family. It's not everlasting eros. There is more of a choice, and I think this means more. If it's easy to love and treat you right, you should expect it. If it's a constant effort that reaps sweet rewards, it means a lot.
Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
L o v e N e v e r F a i l s.
Two types of people: people capable of agape, and people who aren't.

Answer 4

Love is selflessness

putting all there needs above your own.

nothing more nothing less

you can't possible love them in the way your are intended if all you think about is your needs and wants.

only by putting all the need of the other ahead of yours, will all your needs be met.

get it feelings and emotions have nothing to do with it

if you are doing it because it feel good to you that is selfishness
but fulfill it cause it is there need that's selflessnes

Answer 5

Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up,  does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury.  It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

 Love never fails.
