Love is the most important part of life. In today’s world people live for love and die for love. There are different meanings of love and there are different relationships to be in love.
The Meaning of Love What exactly is love? Is there an absolute meaning to the word - love? Or is it purely subjective? The concept of true love is what we search for all our lives. Yet love is one of the most misunderstood concepts of all. What people really want more than anything else is to be loved unconditionally; to be accepted for who we are, and still be loved?
Sometimes we will do some crazy things, in the name of love. Love is actually the choice one makes to put someone's wishes, desires and needs above our own. Many people confuse the word love with the meaning of the word want or desire. For example, sometimes when a young man tells the woman of his dreams, I love you, when he means that he wants her because of his own selfish desires. He's the one that may feel all excited over her, but in reality he may want her because of her physical appearance, or because of her mentality or her ability to make him feel good or important.
Notice his primary motive for pursuing her is based on himself and his desires; not on pleasing her, although he may choose to please her, but that's only based upon the fulfillment of his wants. The same goes for a young woman, when she says to the man of her dreams, I love you, she in fact means that she wants him because of his physical appearance, status, mentality or his ability to make her feel good or important. This usage of the word love for the meaning of the word want is ever so present in the way we use and abuse it.
Since we are selfish creatures, and our understanding of love is to first be pleased, look at how this word is overused. • I love Papa John's pizza. • I just love Gone with the Wind. • I loved Titanic. • I love Jazz Music. • I love Beethoven. • I love The Island of Dr. Moreau. To better understand the concept of love, let’s define the value of love. Love is the most valuable commodity in the world. We all need love just like a fish needs water. Without love, life would not be worth living.
With love in our lives, we are empowered beyond belief. Without love in our lives we will shrivel up and die a slow, painful and lonely death. Love is the very essence and core of our being. It is the energy that sustains who and what we are. Everyone in life has a deep-rooted desire to love and be loved. Many times people only recognize love in its emotional form. We might hear people on television say things like; I don't love you anymore, as they express their emotional feelings. However, love is a lot more than what we feel.
Love is a spiritual form of energy that can be given or received in physical, emotional, or mental forms. Love usually starts in our thoughts, and then spreads to the physical world through our actions, and then it will produce the emotional feelings. For example, it is possible to be angry with our spouse and force ourselves to do something nice for them in our actions, like buying flowers. Pretty soon our emotions kick in and after we see how happy our partner is upon receiving the gift, our emotions will follow. Love is a spiritual gift from a supreme force that starts mentally and finds its way to physical expression, but the emotional feelings we call love have very little to do with what love really is all about.
Furthermore, love can also come in healthy and unhealthy forms. Love is an energy that can be used in a positive, healthy manner or a negative, unhealthy manner. There is unconditional love, which is very accepting, supporting and forgiving. There is tough love, which is disciplined, authoritative and conforming. For example, if a father's son were using drugs, he could unconditionally love him and accept his destructive behavior, hoping that he doesn't overdose and die. Or he could use tough love and put him in a rehabilitation hospital in an attempt to save his life. So as a result, too much tough love can be unhealthy, just like too much unconditional love can be unhealthy.
The acceptance of love also plays a role in better understanding the concept of love. Many times we give love to our partner the same way we would like to receive it. But loving a person this way might not be in their best interests. If our gift of love fails to promote the good in the other person, they might not like it and reject it. Other times we might expect to be loved by our partners in the same way we were loved as children by our parents. For example, if our parents made us feel loved by buying us things, we might associate loving actions especially in the form of gifts, jewelry, clothes and expensive toys.
Our partner could be the most loving, supportive, compassionate, understanding and caring person in the world and it's possible we could overlook their loving intentions if they didn't come from a store. In conclusion, to love others takes effort, and in some cases this can be very hard work. Ideally, we should also be able to love people who we don't particularly like or find attractive. This is not as unreasonable as it may sound, if we understand that love is not just a feeling, but it is expressed when we do something for another person that benefits their spiritual and emotional growth, which in turn helps them realize their full human potential.
Love is that feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in way. Love is when someone hurts you and you get mad but you don’t yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings. Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK. Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. Love is hugging. Love is kissing. Love is saying no. When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared she won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only does she still love you, she loves you even more.
You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget. Love differs from heart to heart; love can be good and can be bad. To love and be loved is the perfect ingredients to happiness but to love and not be loved will be darkness in your soul. Being in love is like a drop of water after years of draught, it eases your soul’s agonies of life. Being in love is a feeling not all humans will experience.
When two people care for each other so much that they would not let nothing or no one get in there way of being together. And they will go to the end of the world to be with each other and do anything for one another. But no one can explain Love. There is no explanation only what u would call Love.
You love somebody if you care for them more than you care for yourself. You love somebody when you would rather make them happy then yourself happy. If your own wants and needs dont matter to you as long as that person is okay, than that is true love.
True love is when one cares about someone else's well being as much as one cares about one's own. Making someone else happy is certainly important, and yet one's own happiness in addition to that and as a result of that is what genuinely is true. True love stands together in equality and balance to what is honest, true and caring and not only about romantic love. It is a kindness of heart, soul, and mind. True love can be definite and is also a given, known and reciprocated when two people "share" in it.
Love is a feeling, an emotion that cannot be explained. Either you feel it or you don't. We call it 'love' because there is no explanation for it. It is not a rational, predetermined action. When you can't rationalize that feeling then you call it love.
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 and preserveres. Love never fails!

Love Means Treating Others Well
How to have harmonious relationships is not a mystery. The first meaning of love has to do with how you treat the person you care about. Creating a close, loving relationship is not actually so difficult to understand!
Love means pleasure
When couples treat each other well, they delight in each other, and love means pleasure, deep emotional enjoyment of each other. You have a description of what really works and what doesn't when it comes to close, emotionally satisfying, and loving relationships.
Love Means Caring: Emotional Investment
Sharing life activities and personal information creates intimacy and emotional connection. Overtime, caring grows and your emotional investment in the other deepens, even when all is not "rosy" and pleasurable. We love because we find our emotional match in the other person, which makes us feels more whole. We have found a "soul mate" and gradually become more and more emotionally and spiritually connected to the other person.
Love is based on need fulfillment usually has serious limitations, but identifies the one need we should continue to nurture. . .
Love is something that is taken for granted way too often. It is something that in situations like divorce, abuse, and violence I can’t seem to see. I wish I could see the good in everything and I really believe that if everyone would stop and think of the better side of the situations like those that we wouldn’t have so much of it. I am happy, I really am, and I do believe that the majority of my happiness comes from love. I share the love of my family, the love of my companion, the love of my dreams, the love of my goals and hopes, and the love of my life, with everyone. I can’t seem to see why so much hatred is in this world but I feel so much love. It is almost blinding to the naïve eye though. It is like it comes to you when you least expect it to. It makes you feel like nothing can go wrong. I guess I just wish that everyone could share these feelings and this thing called love.
Sometimes love is just a silence, looking in eyes of our beloved partner. Or it is holding hands and walking down the beach in open air which is full of love. When you are with your partner you feel as you are in the heaven. Being in arms is being with him alone in the whole world. Love is amazing part of life.
When someone is in love he/she is the happiest human being in this world. Love is the only thing which can heal any type of wound. With love one can finish all the hatred in this world – everyone needs to understand this. Love is what every living thing is hungry for it can be human being, an animal and even plant. The more you love someone the more they flourish.
So love and be loved by everyone.
