What is Love....

What is Love? That is the age old question. I mean really, how do you really know if you are in love or not? And if you are in love, then what? Right now, I think I am in love. Well, no...let my rephrase that..... I KNOW that I am in love. But what really does that mean? I mean sure I get butterflies whenever I see my significant other and sure I get chills whenever he touches me and sure I feel all cheerful inside whenever I hear his voice, but........ That means what???? I have heard so many stories about people who are madly in love, but for some odd reasons they decide not to be together. So, if you can be in love but not be together, then do love really mean that much? Cause every counseling, marriage, family, or whatever, the first question is 'Are you in love?' Well, why ask that question if love is not the basis for a happy relationship? Or is it?

Sure when you love someone, it has been proven that you also care about them and only wishes them well, so after one does the math it seems that love has to be part of a meaningful relationship. I agree, love should be part of a relationship, but it shouldn't be the only thing. Other things should be considered.....like respect, and honor.....just to name a few.

There are so many couples who are in midst of a divorce, but a short while before filling they swore that they were in love. There are some many males and females who are cheating on their mates, but before, during, and sometimes after they swore up and down that they were in love? So is love really the basis of all relationships?

I think that love can easily be confused.... Just because you care about some one or you want them to be happy that doesn't mean that you love them. Love is an action of the heart. Unfortunately, the heart has no brain. The heart confuses caring and lust for love and that thought is transferred to the brain as love. But is it really?

So the age ole question..... What is love and what do it really mean? I am still yet to find out.........
