As you can see, there are a ton of definitions for love, and sometimes people can get confused with all of them. They believe love is one thing and only one thing, when it has many different meanings, but that is not what this topic is about. We are not talking about love between comrades in arms or family members. We want the love between two people.
I will say this now that I have thought I have been in love before. Get that feeling in your gut and they do not leave your mind and you think to yourself. "Oh, I am in love" but is it love? I do not think so. I believe it is a combination of Lust, desire and just because it is new. Love is not the warm feeling in your heart or thinking about them all the time, because that will leave after a few months or so.
What I believe Love is, is the ability to over come things that are issues within the relationship and get past them. Stand together and feel that no matter what comes up you both can do it. Now of course there will be times when one of the two believes they can not go on anymore and want to leave, but I think that if given enough time and it was true love to begin with (And only true love) then they will come back
Love has been tossed around too much, people say "I love you" like it is going out of style.
