What is the meaning of love for you?

Love is when you're willing to do anything for that person, keeping aside your interests - and then actually feeling happy about it. Love is thinking of others needs before yours. Love is giving without expecting anything in return. Love is caring for someone so much that they could not miss anything else in the world!! :)

Like you, love for me has changed over the years. As I grew older, I learned that love shows itself in different forms. In general.. For me... Love is when you don't want to hurt that other person regardless if it's romantic love or not. It is when you become a better person because of the other person. By the way, I'm 27. Committed, but not married.

for me, love is just anything that you feel for another person, a feeling that you have when you are either uncomfortable of too comfortable with a person.

To me, the meaning of love is all about friendship, faith, honesty, trust, and optimism. If you have those things with another person, you have love. I don't believe that changes throughout life as much as our own personal needs change based on the status of our own personal journey of life, and how those needs change what we do with love, or even if we choose to walk away from it. Somewhere in our personal journies many of us go through stages of separation with family, nurturing stages where we want to perhaps have children, self-fulfillment stages where we become focused on ourselves and our needs of learning, careers and independance, and gathering stages where we want the people we care about near us. All of us go through these stages, not necessarily in any particular order and not necessarily one at a time either. Going back to what I feel the meaning of love is, if you have those things with another person, and they mutually feel the same towards you, then the canges that the stages bring only serve to add interest and flavor to a successful union. I'm in my early 50's now, and this has pretty much been my viewpoint all my adult life.

Hi at young age i didn't really understand about the love...then i didn't really understand why boys go after girls and propose them to be their beloved and blah blah...so i used to make fun of the boys and later i realised some kind of things which was called love...i was in it for quite some time...all i experienced is lot of stupidity and worthless pain that you are going to get...so i don't believe in love and i think there is nothing called love...its just a hypothetical term that we all use to console our over burdened soul...

Hi marguicha.....I am in the aged to perfection group and this is a very good discussion. Love does mean different things experienced throughout your life and go from compassion to comfort. When you are young you party and have your children and make your way in the world. Then as you get a little older your love becomes carrying for and taking care of your family and making sure they have what they need. Then when your family grows up and leaves you settle into your everlasting love. The love of friend, campionship and comfort. You are there for each other in times of sickness. To take care of each other and add comfort when and where it is needed. To just let the other person know you are there know matter what and that you always will be..........That is love!!! flutterby
