Love is not a feeling. Feelings can be a part of love and makes it enjoyable, but love is only real when treated as something you do, not as something you feel. It's an action chosen. "I love you". It is the action word, the verb. It describes what you are choosing to do. - It is a commitment to be there and do for someone even when it is undeserved. It is described in the original wedding vows in The Book of Common Prayer from 1549. Groom: I,____, take thee,_____, to be my lawful wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth. - True love is not walked away from when it gets tough. It is committed to for a lifetime. Through a person's worse, through financial problems, through sickness. It doesn't matter. - Love without commitment is lust. Lust is selfish, it is me-based. It seeks it's OWN desires over the needs of another. It goes away when the other person is not doing exactly what feels good to or for you. There is no follow-through, no staying power with lust because it is feelings-based. This means when our feelings change, lust goes away. The word love is severely misused and overused in society since the Sexual Revolution when they stopped education in the character necessary to sustain love for another person.
Love never comes to an end. 1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never comes to an end. 1 Corinthians 13:8
The loving husband caring for his disease ridden wife. The wife he has loved for a lifetime who does not even recognize his face. Devoted to her, committed to her, keeping the promise he spoke 53 years ago, "in sickness and in health".

Get the love mug.by Marissa February 26, 2007
Get the Love mug.A handy and noble excuse for men to have sex and for women to have children. An seemingly reachable but impossible ideal that comsumes everybody on the planet in one way or another. The real things represented by this word are security, shelter from the terror of loneliness, possession, jealousy, fulfilment of childhood dreams, money, greed, diversion of attention from oneself.
I wonder... do animals make high and mighty excuses for reproduction?
Wanting to be constantly with another is often called love for this other but is also one of the most surefire ways to escape from oneself (what most people are really afraid of)

Get the love mug.For u…
Is why I do these things…
At the green…
Just one thing I wanted to see…
Oh the things I have done…
That you have not seen yet…
It will be fun…
The time is already set…

But it is completely worth it…
When a smile I will see…

Get the Love mug.a British term that's becoming more widely used in American English to describe someone who is mild and pleasant. To say that someone is lovely might mean that he or she is nice or easy to be around, but isn't the most fuckable or fuckworthy person.
1. If someone says that you're lovely, you ain't getting laid.
2. Nate: What do you think of the new girl at the office?
Dave: She's lovely.
Nate: Would you bang her?
Dave: Hmmm...I wouldn't go that far.

Get the lovely mug.When you simplify life and all its complexities, all it comes down to is love. Love makes life worth living. Love to live and live to love.

Get the love mug.So, what is Love? It's funny, I used to think it was liking someone just a little more than a friend. But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think Love is when you find that one thing you really care about. That one special person that means more to you than anything else in the world. The person that you would jump infront of a bullet for, the person whos on your mind when you wake up and go to sleep, the person who you constantly want to be with and without them you are incomplete, the person who can make you smile-no matter what, the person you can tell anything you want to because you know that they will accept you for who you are, the person you want to always be happy, the person you never want to loose, the person you care about so much, its crazy. And when you find that person, you fight for them. You risk it all, you put them in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help them isn't so clean. But You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze.
If you ever find love, never let it go and cherrish every moment of it. You never realize how truely amazing love is until it's gone.

Love is a thing, well, its kind of like quicksand:
The more you are in it, the deeper you sink.
And when it hits you, you've just got to fall.
