How Would You Describe Love?

This is a good discussion. My husband and I have often said that "love" and "adore" just don't seem strong enough for what it is that we have. Many poets have said that "words cannot describe" his/her love for whoever. But you asked what true love is to me. Love is knowing someone is lashing out because they feel crappy or are stressed and attempt to make them feel better rather than lashing back. Love is an effort on the part of both parties. With love you must have trust or love will fail, not flourish. When your own needs are nothing compared to the welfare of someone else, whether that someone is your lover, your sister/brother, your child, a friend, your grandmother/grandfather, aunt/uncle, cousin, spouse or a bum on the street--when their needs are more of a concern than your own, that is true love. True love isn't necessarily romantic, but it does come from within, it does not lie, cheat or steal. It does not manipulate or take advantage. Hope this helps clear things up for ya.

I'm very picky on who i tell that i love them, it's a very meaningful thing to me. There's several kinds of love, the kind you have for your family - if you love them.. The kind you have for your friends - because if your close enough to your friends, you will love them. And the kind you have for that special someone. The last one, is to me the one that's used too frequently and unknowingly. To me, love is that feeling when you know that even if you lived without that person before, it would be torture to have to do it again, the kind of love that no matter what they do, you will always love them, the feeling that if their not happy with you, you would rather them be with someone else that would make them happy than to have them stay where they weren't happy. When they come home or call you, it doesn't matter how many years you've been together, you'll always light up and butterfly to the thought of them. If you can't help but smile when you look at them, no matter what mood. The need to do for them as they do for you, but better, because you feel they deserve the world... There's so much more, but to me, this is love, This is how i feel with my husband, and i love him so much, just the thought of him makes my heart swell, the thought of him hurting, makes me hurt, the feeling i get with him around, makes me want to melt to tears of happiness, every day.

I believe love describes the human attachment to another person both sexually and emotionally.

ohho.love? love is that the mother gives her milk to the baby. love is that a cow rear its calf. love is that had no hatred.love is that ready for any sacrifice.love is that which has no rivelry,hesitation or hipocracy. love is that lives long. word love is in abuse due to attractions of the present generation..

My husband and I have been married going on 6 years and he has said he loves me maybe twice,not to long ago I asked him why,he replied to me(I tell you I love you every day)I looked very stange and he said to me do you know I love you I said yes because I know he does,but again I asked why dont you say it he said to say it is easy but to let me know in other ways every day is harder and he would rather show me in the things he does so I say true love has no words for the meaning.

Love is love, can be the bst feeling in this world, can make us to keep our dream alive, can make cjange ours opinions about life, can make us better. but can make such a lot of harm to when love is most vanity, or ambitos, or jealousy, yes love can be life and dath too. is very strong feeling.

i really do not know how to describe love. it is really worth more than words right?

love is an emotion that we cannot control. thats what its like for me.For me love has happened only once,and every minute i have spent with my lover has been seared in my memory.And no one can forget a single moment of it.

GOD IS LOVE. He gave his only son so no one would perish,we have but to choose and believe he is who he said he is.Love IS a strong emotion, that re-kindles, re-members, re-enlists, forgives,cares, has empathy, is valiant. With LOVE one comitment to choose over and over again to stand firm and hold fast to a covenant. LOVE recalls the good and tender and does not hold on to the mistakes of the other.

The definition of love by: Andrew Marvell My love is of a birth as rare As 'tis for object starnge and high: It was begotten by Despair Upon Impossibility. Magnanimous Despair alone Could show me so divine a thing, Where feeble Hope could ne'er have flown But vainly flapped its Tinsel wing. And yet I quickly might arrive Where my extended soul is fixt, But Fate does iron wedges drive, And always crowds itself betwixt. For fate with jealous eye does see Two perfect Love;nor lets them close: Their union would her ruin be, And her tyrannic power depose. And therefore her decrees of steel Us as the distant Poles have placed' (Though love's whole World on us doth wheel) Not by themselves to be embraced. Unless the giddy Heaven fall The Earth some new convulsion tear; And, as to join, the World should all Be cramped into a planisphere. As lines so Loves oblique may well Themselves in every angle greet: But ours so trully parallel, Though infinite can never meet. Therefore the Love which us doth bind, but fate so enviously debars, Is the conjunction of the Mind, The opposition of the Stars.

love is when you began to be unselfish. Sacrificing and doing things for that person is one way to tell that it IS love that you are feeling. sacrificing is never easy and I believe that it will take so much for a person to give something just for his love.

To me i think love cannot be explained, everyone has their own opinion of love. Its justa word that cannot be explained.

I would say that love is something that can't be given easily. Love is knowing that you will be with that person for a long time. When you get married, love is going through the hardest times you can imagine and coming out of it thanking god that there was some one else there to go through it with you. Love is the good and the bad of a relationship. I have found my true love and sometimes we fight and want to through our hands up in the air and give up, but it is love that pulls us through. That is my defination of love and true love.

Love is a feeling that appears between two people,you've probably heard about the famous ,,love at first sight'but sometimes true love appears later when people start sharing the same opinions and trust eachother and become friends...from simple friends....to lovers.I haven't experienced myself yet this wonderful feeling but i know one thing: In love there is one simple rule:Love and be loved:)

I think it's when care more about the other person than you do yourself. You should want what's best for them even if it's not you.

Love is when you cannot imagine your life without the other in your life. For good or for bad, you are in it for the long haul. You want the best for each other and can be supportive of each other as well. Two is a good balance when similar people become involved and decide that they will make a marriage work. Then the rights are there, love can be there, and a long life is often the result. Good luck with this. I wish you well.

To me "love" is trusting someone enough to surrender to them completely and wholeheartedly and I have to my husband of 7 years. :)

Love... I can say it in a word,no one can describe what love is. Love is a feeling. You can see love if someone care with you. sometime people said but there is no feeling inside. Love is take care someone even though that person don't care about you. Love is make other people happy, love is make other people be part of our life when we sick and health, rich and poor, you will always besides him/her in every condition. You can smile even though your heart is broken. If he/she cry you will cry with them. That is love.

how would i describe love? a very interesting question... love itself.. is something that we don't get to see..but we do know such feeling.. when it comes.. it comes.. when it goes.. it will go.. isn't that true? to me.. love is something forever.. i don't simply love someone.. it's when i made my decision.. to have someone as my lifetime partner.. then i consider loving her.. besides that.. love can also be towards friends and family members.. for that.. it means i just have to care for their feelings.. be there when they need me.. and i'll consider that as true love.. back to the relationship part.. i think true love does exist.. and i'm still hunting for it.. i think i won't give up chasing after a girl if i love them.. because love and like is totally different.. i can like many people.. but i can only love 1 girl.. isn't that true? :)

You are correct! Love is overly used. Many people would actually think that they are experiencing love for certain people when in fact, it is only infatuation. The problem is the way the mind responds to a certain feeling in the body when in contact with certain individuals he/she treasures. Love is subjective to different people.
