What's your definition of Love?

 

I don't think there is any right or wrong answer to this question.  I think each persons definition of love changes with each successful/failed relationship, birth of a child, and lose of a loved one.  I think definitions change as we grow older and realize the things in life that are most important. 

Right now at the age of 28, love to me is defined as the emotional connection between two people. The longing to be in that special someone's presence.  Love is unconditional.

Love is all encompassing.

Love is compromising without regrets.

Love is not selfish or self centered.

Love is giving.

Love is tried and true.

What's your definition of Love??

Hi Lolly! Hope me and Fuzzy make it as long as you and Mr. Lolly...23 more years and we will meet it! (hahah)

love is a rose and you better not pick it

it only grows when it's on the vine

A hand full of thorns and you know you've missed it

You lose your love when you say the word mine....

...Niel Young

Love is a force that is born within and radiates outward.

And while there are good foundations to the definition of love, it continually expands as life and time move on. There are new aspects of love that can only be experienced as one ages and gains new outlooks. Love as a single person is defined in one fashion, married it becomes even more, add children and there is still another aspect of love which adds more to the overall description one gives to love and so on.

Hardships also add new descriptors and depth to love. It's something that grows over time and experiences add to it's depth and understanding throughout our whole lives.

well said Sandra!

Love is "Gladys" in all her forms, habits, mannerisms and anything else about her. Married to her 43 years and just getting started.

Some say love is something sent from heaven to worry the hale out of you.

I have always loved I Corinthians 13.If you want to learn how to love people or one person,it is a a great guide.I've been married to my husband 36 years this month.Sometimes love means putting them first over your own needs.Sometimes it means making a conscious decision to love them even when they are unlovable(as we all are sometime!!)Love means to "share the load" of stress, whatever it may be, with the person you love for the good of both of your lives and future.Love also means loving yourself,so the two of you can have seperate lives and interests but have a life together that is enriched by your individual interests.Love also means giving of yourselves to each other,like sometimes they know things about you noone else knows but you trust them and they trust you because you know they won't betray you and they know you won't betray them.Love is very,very hard,deep,mysterious and magical!

Love is a verb.

Love is a four letter word!!!! ROF!

:-)

Beth

After reading Ode2joy I can safely say I've never been in love.

Truth, I'm sure you're very loveable though!

:-)

Beth

Beth, you find the most interesting screen names. LOL

Sandra, it's all thanks to my psycho mind! LOL!!!!!

Beth

Truth,did I come across negatively?Love is a wonderful thing.Sorry.

You're no psycho, Beth, but a very sweet lady. :-)

Ode, Please, your definition is beautiful. It just made me realize that I had not experienced love. I am so glad that you are so happy and in love.

so far its the ring of fire with a soul mate; and its showing up at work monday morning; its unexpected happiness for no reason.. its the sense of a compassionate Being existing between subatomic particles.. and its expecting to find some new definition tomorrow.. thanks for the question.

Thanks.We've been through alot including his having had a stroke,with residual effect of loss of 15% of his balance and occasional pain in left eye.He works full time at the DMV in Telecommunications.He also had reaction to anesthesia and then the pain medicene postop and hallucinated for 2-3 days.Not to mention the surgical wound didn't heal right and I had to pack it everyday for 2-3 months.He would do the same for me but he was lucky that I am a nurse.He takes care of me in other ways and thanks me often in thoughtful ways.Yes,we've weathered alot of storms together,that is one reason we trust each other so much.

Ode, sounds lkie your husband is a lucky man to have you as his wife!

man, I can't type tonight - sore fingers

Love is --- knowing you are going to spend the rest of your life with a person after meeting them for 10 minutes. true story--

Ode, you and your husband are truly blessed to have one another. Your love story is truly inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing it.

We are both lucky.Where he is logical and analytical,I am intuitive and spotaneous.We balance each other after years of trying to figure each other out,we reallized we couldn't and just started accepting each other.It really is kind of neat.Thanks though Mojo.

Mojo & Ode -- thanks as I read over all the comments , as I was thinking of Cor 13. one of the things I'm realizing on love -- that a deep meaningfull friendship is the foundation . As you mentioned Ode -- most times it is two people who complete the other. Plus, I'm finding that when the happiness of the other makes you happier than if it was happening to you !? (does that make sense ? ) :>

Love is in the little things. I know my husband loves me because he tosses out the gunky food particles in the drain and never yells at me for forgetting to do it. On a hot day he buried my deceased guinea pig in a respectable grave rather than chucking it like a football into the woods. (I know he hated that guinea pig.) And he thinks every outfit looks good on me -- even when I know it doesn't. Oh...and he lets me listen to my country music on the radio station when we're in the car even though he doesn't care for it. :-)

Sure it does.That is why love may start out as a strong attraction but if that is all it is ,it won't last.Love has to grow or else it dies.Just like the two people have to grow or their love will be smothered out by other people or things. Sorry but I have to go .Good night.

Love is flooring the gas on a 65 GTO 4 speed. If you can't love that, I don't know what to tell you. LOL ;)
