Definition of love!

---

Wow, there's alot of Oprah bashing going on lol

my advice it to find the answer in a song..."What's This Shit Called Love?" by The Meatmen

Okay.I'm not trying to get overly religious here but this is what I define love as:love is patient, love is kind It does not envy, it doesnot boast, It is not proudIt is not rude,it is notself seeking, it is not easily angered, It keepss no record of wrongslove does not rejoyce in evil, but delights in the truthlove always protects, always trusts ,always hopes always perservereslove never failsI try and love people in my ife by these rules but its not always easy !!!! lol As for romantic love I think when you find the right person you just know theres just this magic betwen you. That doesn't mean it will always be there though ,even the best reltoinship can die a painful death if you don't work on it.

Love is putting up with bullshit and things you normally wouldn't put up with from someone. Jk

I'd say that this a pretty good definition of 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 perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)I also agree with the rest of the posts. And for me one of the most important characteristics of love is TRUST.

To me love is like that drug that can make you do things that you normally would never do or put up with. But there are a lot of different kinds of love. A mothers love for her child is much different from the love that husband has for his wife. There is also a kind of love between friends. I believe that love is the one bond that allows us to live with each other. But true love between partners is only achievable by truling know your partner.

In reply to: Love is putting up with bullshit and things you normally wouldn't put up with from someone. I have to agree, that's what love is in a nut shell.

But Love is so much more than that. It is so deep, so pure, so kind, and so soft. Not so harsh like you put.

Sounds like a fabric softener commercial.

I thought love means never having to say you're sorry.

english only has one word for love and the deffinition in the bible is: Love is patient, love is kind. 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. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 You will also see this in a dictionary. In greek there are 4 definitions starting with:
Storge - Parental love, what a parent feels for their childern.
Eros - Sexual attraction feelings of passion and desire.

Philios - Love for friends and family. Think the city of brotherly love.

Agape - Godly love, you would put that person before all things in your life.

I learned this from a very smart english teacher.

Thats the best way possible to put it.
