Did you know our language is very limited?. In other languages they have several different names for love- with different definitions. Including Love for family, romantic Love, Love of fellow man, and Pure love of people (God's Love)....
So, which love are we talking about here?

Love is undefiable.......a million words could never express it. What it is for one person might not be for another......it is a very personable feeling. If you have it , you know you have it. It could be lust...but that is generally what it starts with. But if it last with the same depth of passion...it most likely is LOVE and can last forever.

If we are referring to relationships between/among people, there is a wide variety. The love between a mother and child, husband and wife, friends, just for starters. What makes one amazing is NOT going to be the amazing-maker in another. I think an element in all of them would be a selflessness in response to the needs (not wants) of the other. ????

Psychologist Zick Rubin proposed that romantic love is made up of three elements: attachment, caring and intimacy. Attachment is the need to receive care, approval and physical contact with the other person. Caring involves valuing the other persons needs and happiness as much as your own. Intimacy refers to the sharing of thoughts, desires, and feelings with the other person.
Based upon this definition, Rubin devised a questionnaire to assess attitudes about others and found that these scales of liking and loving provided support for his conception of love. Read more here>>
