    always kissing me goodnight.

    always kissing me before he leaves in the morning...no matter how bad we fought the night before. Love to me is being a team, although you might not have anything in common but the same goals. Love to me is taking the good with the bad, the psychosis with the neurotic lol. Love is never questioning if they're going to leave, or cheat, or mistrust. There are no negative feelings with love, no worries or stipulations. Love is knowing that the person you give your whole heart to, gives his back. Love isn't about diamonds or flowers (although they would be nice from time to time lol) it's holding hands while you watch tv, or back rubs before you fall asleep. It's helping with laundry, and appreciating a home cooked meal. Love is being the only parent sitting outside, freezing your *kitten* off, while your son practices football, or driving your girlfriend 6 hours to her parents house because she's homesick. To me, love is asking "how's your day" and really meaning it, wanting to help in the kitchen just so you can visit, getting giddy when you know it's time for them to walk through the door after work. And even after 4 years, I'm still pumped to see he called, or miss him when he's gone.

    Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

    Love naturally ebbs and flows... respect and committment are the lasting qualities on which to base a relationship.

    Love is cooking your man a nice meal and when he throws up in the middle of the night he does it quietly so he doesn't wake you and then doesn't actually blame it on the cooking because he doesn't want you to feel bad!

    Oh and its also all the other nice things people mentioned too :)

    Love is more than a feeling. It's a choice.

    I agree. I think (in a romantic relationship) love is what sticks around long after the "butterflies" are long gone.

    Oh boy. What a loaded question!

    I can say this... what I thought love was 10 years ago and what I think it is today is complete opposite.

    Let's start with the 21 yr old Newaustinite's version of love:

    It was a feeling. Love was something you felt all over your body and gave you butterflies. It was how he made me feel. It was about how he complimented me, how he was romantic, how he called me 24/7. Love was the main reason for everything and love is all you needed. Love was being so in love with each other, you just didn't have time to even breath because there was so much love. My friends didn't understand me anymore because my love did. He completed me. He filled. He was going to rescue me from myself. We were now 1.

    Ahem.

    I'm 32 now and am facing some personal stuff in this love department. Love to me know is all about mutual respect. It is about giving the person the freedom to love me, not forcing it. It is about letting love blossom. It is about giving, not receiving. It is about a choice. It is about nurturing something. It is about realizing that if someone ever gives you their heart, OH MY, what a precious gift. Protect that heart but at the same time, take care of yourself. Love is about 2 people who compliment each other. 2 people who care about each other's interests, issues, etc. I do still believe love is one of the main reasons for being...

    :heart:

    Love to me is what I feel for my children.
    That when they're running around fighting and I'm just so fed up with two toddlers, I still want to smother them in hugs and kisses :)

    Now love, love, well I used to be in love once, still might be. But that area is foggy for me :)

    Love that I know is real is for my daughter; the friends that came and never left (friggin stalkers hehe); family...can't get rid of them either

    Dunno if I've ever REALLY been in love with a man though...I know I said it and thought it...but how could I have been if I could care less about them now?

    Oh hush!

    Covering you with a jacket while you make a wicked emergency diarrhea on the side walk.. now that's love.

    What is love? When it's real you will feel it... way down... in yo' pants...

    No, but really, love is a choice. Choosing to grow together instead of apart. Choosing to give up your solo dreams and create and follow together dreams. It is doing all that you can because you said you would, regardless and without expectation for what will be returned to you. It is forsaking all other responsibilities for the one responsibility you have.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

    I got another one to add for people's consideration:

    Love is not being sure where you are going or want to go, but knowing that you want them there with you.

    love is hurting when they hurt, being happy that they are happy, proud of each other, adore each other, are loyal to each other, honest with each other, and above all, respect for each other.
    Only have one thing to add. Love is knowing that you can make it through anything if you stick together. It's knowing you can count on your other half. My 15th anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks!

    I agree with these - celebrated my 14th anniversary yesterday.

    Love is a trick nature plays on us to get us to reproduce.
    I fell for it.

    Honestly I never knew real deep unconditional love until I had my son.

    Love is much too complex to define with a single sentence. There are varying levels of love, so it's definately a diffucult term to explain. What I do know is ... You can love someone dearly, but dislike them because of the things they do, the things they say .. you can even have an varying level of respect for a person you LOVE...like a verbally abusive parent or sibling for instance. They may have their good qualities, and definately some bad ones. You love them enough to not want anything bad to happen to them, but you don't care to be around them because of how they make you feel.

    It's just as important to LIKE as it is to LOVE:heart:

    Love is when both people are willing to *kitten* without using a condom.
