How do
you define love?
Some say
it's mysterious, magical, complex, difficult, imaginary, thought-provoking,
inspirational, intuitional, joyous, immeasurable, ecstasy, and undefinable.
Perhaps.
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. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1
Corinthians 13:5-7
Love
itself is a universal experience. Yet, every individual occurrence - while
perhaps bound by a common thread - seems absolutely unique. Love is what love
is! To everyone it expresses itself differently.
It is
important to stand in Love, not fall into it.
Love is
waking up to find the object of your affection in the dream you were having
asleep on your shoulder.
Could it
be that Love is a story that can never be fully expressed?
Love is
seeing an imperfect person perfectly. - Sam Keen
Love is
a bond or connection between two people that results in trust, intimacy, and an
interdependence that enhances both partners.
Love is
the ability and willingness to allow those you care for to be what they choose
for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you. - Leo Buscaglia
Making
Love is the highest level and the most loving way we can physically express or
demonstrate our Love for our love partner. Everyone knows that the sexual
experience can be the single most loving, most exciting, most powerful, most
exhilarating, most renewing, most energizing, most affirming, most intimate,
most uniting, most stress-relieving, most recreative physical experience of
which humans are capable.
Love is
looking past imperfections in your partner and seeing the beautiful person
inside. True love seeks the happiness and well being of your partner. Love
expresses itself in the mutual respect you demonstrate to your partner.
Love is
loving someone without expecting anything in return; no judgments, no
restrictions; no limitations; no expectations!
Love is
expressed when you are being someone who loves someone for who they are, not
who you think they should be.
Love is embracing differences and discovering ways in which to build a common lifestyle, share decision-making, and taking equal responsibility for the results.
Love is the passion of the spirit soul and body towards another person.
Love is a combination of acceptance,
affection and appreciation.
Love is that deep down tug from your soul
that persuades you to fix whatever is wrong, enjoy whatever is right. Nothing
is strong enough to break that bond, nothing is small enough to miss. A tug so
strong you will forgive, forget, appease and compromise. It is a feeling with
no boundaries.
Love is embracing differences and discovering ways in which to build a common lifestyle, share decision-making, and taking equal responsibility for the results.
True love
has a foundation of integrity, respect, faith and trust. Love is the force that
brings about unity and harmony.
Love is the passion of the spirit soul and body towards another person.
Love is when you take away the feeling, the
passion, the romance- and you find out you still care for that person.
Love is a
force of nature, Love is bigger than you are.
Love does not come with conditions,
stipulations, addenda, or codes. Love is inherently free. It cannot be bought,
sold, or traded. You cannot make someone love you, nor can you prevent it, for
any amount of money. Love cannot be imprisoned nor can it be legislated. Love
is not a substance, not a commodity. Love has no territory, no borders,
Love cares what becomes of you
because love knows that we are all interconnected. Love is inherently
compassionate and empathic. Love knows that the "other" is also
oneself. This is the true nature of love and love itself can not be manipulated
or restrained. Love honors the sovereignty of each soul. Love is its own law.
Love is a
noble act of self-giving, offering trust, faith, and loyalty. The more you
love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who
you are; you end up being complete with your loved ones.
Love is
like the ocean, it may have its storms but it will always see clear in the end.
Love, the strongest emotional bond, is the most
satisfying human experience imaginable for those fortunate enough to find it.
Love is
Sharing
Believe me when I say that this is one of the most important ingredients of love. It is important to open ones heart and share - your happiness, your sorrows, your fears, your victories... everything, it really does not matter, as long as the heart is clear. Love is being honest and knowing that the other person feels the same way too, it is sharing and losing ones inhibitions and knowing that the person on the other side will never be judgmental.
Love is Talking
Yes, love is talking. It is about speaking, telling and sharing. After some time people restrict their conversations to discussing bills, children and pets. This is a sure indicator of things going down hill. Bring the spark back by starting a conversation. Talking can help solve matters that otherwise might lead to misunderstandings. Another aspect of that is listening. Talking is useless if the other person is not listening. Learn to listen too.
Love is Spending Time Together
A few minutes spent together everyday keeps the boredom away. I just made this up right now, but it is because I feel there is nothing like time invested in a relationship...believe me, it pays! Heavy work schedule takes up much time and effort, so it is important to get things into perspective. Spending time with each other will let you understand the other person better, help you know them better. And I believe that it gives the relation a different feel.
Love is Trust
When you love someone, you have to trust them. Love without trust is not possible. When you open your heart to someone, you have to trust them to take care of it, forever. Trust means that you have the confidence in the other person that they will keep their promises, be faithful and be there for you always.
Love is Faithfulness

Love is Faithfulness
To love means to be true, to love unconditionally means to give with all your
heart to one, and only one. Being faithful in a relationship is very important,
in love... it is the next thing to trust. Love is when you realize that that
person is the best thing that has happened to you and you want to cherish that
person and the moments spent with them, till death do you part.
Love is being friends with each other. Enjoying simple pleasures in life like
shopping, catching a movie or watching television at home, apart from a host of
other things that "Friends" normally do! You have to tell them your
secrets and keep theirs, be there for each other, and respect and trust each
other.
And, as clichéd as this may sound... Love is looking together in the same direction, having the same goals and taking steps in that direction to make them come true.
