Somebody close to me said that Love to her, was made up of only three ingredients; Communication, Trust and Respect. Should Emotion not be an essential part of Love. We all have experienced love in its diffrent aspects in our lives. However, I need the inputs from the Greater Lush Community with all the "authority" of our most active inkslingers included as well. C'mon "Curves" this is your area of Expertise...

Love is different to everyone. There is not one set standard that all of us must go by when it comes to love. What love means to one person, may not mean the same to the next. We are not told how to love, who to love, and where to find it. It just happens when we least expect it. Love is a combination of all things, all those you mention and more. It's a harmony that is built by the coming together of all things that two people have in life. When all the emotions, mental and physical, come together, true love is often something that cannot be broken.
"So don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind."
--Evanescence

Love is relating, it is always a river, flowing, unending, Love knows no period, the honeymoon begins but never ends, it is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point, it is an ongoing phenomenon, Lovers end, love continues, it is a continuum

Love is when you can spend all day with that person, talking, laughing and still want to be together. It's when you can trust them with your life and always know that you will be ok. When you would rather not be doing anything in the world than just spending a little time together. At least thats what I say love is.

It's a most hodge-podgical, most illogical, most confusiling, most bamboozling, most bemuddling, most befuddling thing!

"One should always be in love" said Oscar Wilde, "That is the reason one should never marry."
The essence of love is transitory, but it is no less wonderful for all that. Possibly it's fleeting nature makes it even more precious each time you stumble upon it.
“No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.”
― P.J. O'Rourke

Love to me is the best and worst feeling. It's knowing that someone else has your back and will be the person to pick you up when you don't have the strength to yourself

love is not being afraid to open yourself up to get hurt beyond your wildest imaginings.

Love is senseless. It is something inside you that if questioned almost never makes sense yet always feels right. It does not have to be persuaded nor reminded. It is something you should never have to concede or barter. It should not derive from thought, though provoke thought it will. It is something we should never think, but feel.

Love is subjective and different to every person...Even great poets,philosophers and writers have difficulty defining it...Mine is all about trust. I know that I'm in love or love(because this applies to friends too)when I can let someone in(which isn't very often)

I think Lois and Sprite nailed it. It is all the other things mentioned above, but most important, it is a willingness to overcome fear, and to allow yourself to be vulnerable.

To me a defining part of "Love" is unconditional sharing, giving, and trusting each other.

To me, "true love", is realizing that you are not whole without the other person.

All I know is that it is what it is. It's there and it ain't going away. I think the true definition must be somewhere in a country music song.

It's not what defines love, it's who...and the answer is, the people in it.

Wish someone could actually tell me definitively. Yes I love my b/f but like a bubble on the surface of life .... it can vanish with the first prick. Unconditional love only seems to apply with parents and their offspring.

Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk (boot, for you guys who speak British) for two hours. Who do you think is going to happy to see you when you open it up again?

You run out in the middle of a cold, slushy, hazardous sleet storm to purchase her a box of her special tampons and a bottle of Midol at a busy grocery or convenience store, paying for the purchase of those items, while thirty strangers grin knowingly. You're either pussy whipped or, you're head over heels in love. Or you just want some peace and quiet so you can watch your football game without the beast stalking you.
 The best thing you can do for your fellow,
next to rousing his conscience, is - not to give him things
to think about, but to wake things up that are in him...
to make him think things for himself - George MacDonald

Who do you think is going to happy to see you when you open it up again? I love that. Very funny! As for love. I can't define it, it's a weird old thing.

Love is when your heart's desire is the other person's happiness. Even at the expense of your own.

I read somehting intersting on this recently. I forget who said it, but it went along the lines of: Everyone will hurt you one day. You must choose who you are willing to suffer for. -- This act of selflessness is only possible when you love someone. Now, there are many levels and nuances of love - Friendships, familiy, partner. But the bottom is simple and common amongts the three -- To choose to put someone else´s needs or wants before yours and not expect anthing is return is love.
