Love i guess is the most important thing! But when you love someone then there will be lust aswell! Although you can get lust without love i guess! Which usually ends up in a one-night-stand or something, a quick fling. I support love anyway! Its a great thing if you find it with the right person!

Lust is selfish. Love is unselfish.If you "love" a person because of how you are treated by that person or because that person might "turn you on",it's considered lust. If you genuinely care about that other person to the extent that you would do what is in that person's best interests, with no regards to your own, that is considered love. Here's a test to differentiate the two: 1) when I'm with the person, what do I feel? Do I feel emotions leading towards lust, or love? 2)when I'm with this person, what do I (or we)do? Is it really in that person's best interests.

Yeah but surely then in a normal loving relationship, you would both always be trying to do whats in the other persons best interests? Which might clash! Like say one person really loved going to the cinema and then other really loved going out clubbing. Surely the one who liked clubbing would be saying "Lets go to the cinema" and the one who liked going to the cinema would be saying "Lets go clubbing". Love i think is about compromise

There is love and there is lust and they can certainly be experienced at the same time and for the same person but what will make the relationship last a lifetime is love and only love because, in my opinion lust will eventually fade with time whereas true love will not if the couple is seriously committed to one another and willing to work hard at the relationship.
