Love of family is different that being in love in a romantic way! Unless you're in love with your sister, in which case you should move to "Meat Cove"! Love of family is unconditional, even if you don't like them! You never fall in love with anyone you don't like! There is compatibility, sexual chemistry, devotion, fidelity, and there's no one in the world you'd rather be with than the person with whom you are 'in love'! Of course there's love of God, if you believe in spirituality, and love of country, if you...

Of course there's love of God, if you believe in spirituality, and love of country, if you're patriotic, and love of your fellow man, because you value their existance! We shouldn't love material things! (Though I love chocolate - I have sinned! lol)

In my opinion there is the love you have for family and then there is the love for your spouse.There is only one kind of love in that area.When you truly love someone you would walk through fire to get to them if need be,you wake up everyday just to see them lying by your side and if that little fact brings a smile to your face then chances are you're in love.

Love is eternal, and unconditional. Being in love is that crazy combination of love and lust and obsession where you just think you can't live without them, and frankly wouldn't want to. You can't get enough of someone you are in love with, and its the best feeling on earth. Unfortunately that feeling usually fades and rarely if ever lasts and lasts....

Unfortunately that feeling usually fades and rarely if ever lasts and lasts.It’s all too interesting, but what can you really do? Stop loving? Maybe. I, myself, don’t believe in wearing your heart on your sleeve. It’s too painful to be vulnerable, but those are my own qualms about love. But I guess love is definitely a learning experience; if you can’t get your love out of your relationship, get a lesson. Just because that one person is out of love with you, doesn’t mean someone else won’t be in love with you. From the most cynical mind ever (i.e. me), there is always hope.

Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction.[1] The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction.[1] The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

As an abstract concept love usually refers to a strong, ineffable feeling towards another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

love means ur facinated by any guy or girl you pass by...whereas true n in love lasts till one person n your life is bounded to only that person.and the facinated love is likeness not love.

Love is just another emotion, like hatred, anger,fear etc...they all just acid reactions to your state of mind...the higher the intensity of the emotion, the more acids are released into the blood stream...it kick starts the body into action...hav'nt you heard the expression, "love hurts" it really does... it burns,, its all the acids.. but most people know how to use these acids up..thats why this world is so over-populated....

On the other hand the acids released during negative emotions are not always worked out and its the steady build-up of these acids that cause illness, cancer, etc.
To love with the love of the lord is the most neutral love of all.

Love most of the time requires self sacrifice, commitment and this is nurtured in a span of time...

being in love is a sort of infatuation, felt in a short period of time, an attraction. love is more than attraction.

This is just my opinion, i hope it help....

When you are in love with someone, your love for them grows each day. you cant imagine a life without them. Every day you feel your heart has reached its largets point, it cannot hold anymore love in, and the next day it grows yet again for this person. They become as much a part of you as you are, you are IN LOVE with them.

Simply loving someone is different, this is the kind of love you can have for your cousin, or brother, or a good friend, while they are in your heart, and you will protect them, and they do meen a lot to you, you still feel that if they were not there your life would not fall apart, it would be worse, but not agonizingly paining and sad. This is when you LOVE them.

love is the kind of relationship you have on a everyday basis, where you contribute without expecting in return.

"in love", however, though having the same properties as "love", it is more of a fanatical phase of love, whereby you feel that you are in a "honeymoon" stage.

The ancient Greeks had four different words we translate love. It is important to understand the difference between the words:

1. "Eros" was one word for love. It described, as we might guess from the word itself, erotic love. It refers to sexual love.

2. "Storge" was the second word for love. It refers to family love, the kind of love there is between a parent and child, or between family members in general.

3. "Philia" is the third word for love. It speaks of a brotherly friendship and affection. It is the love of deep friendship and partnership. It might be described as the highest love of which man, without God's help, is capable of.

4. "Agape" is the fourth word for love. It is a love that loves without changing. It is a self-giving love that gives without demanding or expecting re-payment. It is love so great that it can be given to the unlovable or unappealing. It is love that loves even when it is rejected. Agape love gives and loves because it wants to; it does not demand or expect repayment from the love given. It gives because it loves, it does not love in order to receive.
According to Alan Redpath, we get our English word agony from agape. "It means the actual absorption of our being in one great passion." (Redpath) Strictly speaking, agape can't be defined as "God's love," because men are said to agape sin and the world (John 3:19, 1 John 2:15). But it can be defined as a sacrificial, giving, absorbing, love. The word has little to do with emotion; it has much to do with self-denial for the sake of another.

The best definition I have found for love in English is by the great Christian philosopher Tillich. He defines love as "desire for union".You can love lots of people, for instance, your family.
In love means you want them for your spouse, your mate or sexual love.
