if you think you are in love, ask yourself this: "do i mind being financially ruined by this person?" if the answer is "yes", then it is love, if its "no" then its something else.

Foolish set of emotions which result in a mortgage and three screaming brats with ginger hair and parents in law you would rather kill than live with.

its not about the ability to hold onto, care, and devote yourself to someone. its about the inability to let go, stop caring, and stop devoting yourself to that person.
i love him/her.

Although almost noone can agree on a single definition of love, most agree that it plays a significant role on their psychological well-being (Te Taha Hinengaro) and our Te Whare Tapa Whā.
Love is not an emotion nor a feeling, but a chemical reaction driven by extreme feelings of respect, euphoric attraction and willingness to put another's happiness and well-being above your own.
Love and lust have very similar characteristics, but unlike lust, love is long lasting.

Other definitions are mostlikely emotionally charged and bear no logical or rational reasoning. They have no correlation to the bigger picture; that is: love for family members or even pets, but are purely directed at one's partner.
However with your partner love can in some cases give you a lust-like feeling after years of being in a close relationship.
Love is so nebulous to many, even the famous band 'Foreigner' wrote a song titled "I want to know what love is".
