The last time you uttered those three words did you mean it, or was it from habit?

Complete this sentence, Love to me is:
 
Tell my kids every day. Of course I mean it.

There are different kids of love; love for ones family is different from love for ones friends, and both are different from romantic love.
 
In the early stages of the marriage, it is called "Kitchen Love." That's where you do it ANYWHERE - in the hallway, in the garage, in the back yard, in the kitchen. You can't get enough of each other.

In the mid stages of the marriage, it is called "Bedroom Love." It happens once a week or so. You fall right off to sleep after it is over.

In the latter stages of the marriage, it is called "Stairwell Love." That's where the two of you pass on the stairs, going in opposite directions. You snarl at her, "Fuck you!" and she responds with, "No, fuck YOU!"

Every time I say those three words, I mean them. I mean them to my kids, and to my boyfriend. I mean them to my other family that I say them to, and even to the few friends I say them to.

Love to me is...putting up with all of someone's bullsh*t because you know, in the end, it's worth it; waking up every morning knowing that the person you love (be it child, parent, significant other) is someone you want to see, want to talk to, want to hang out with; it's being willing to bend over backwards to make them happy, but also knowing that if what they want is truly bad for them, you'll put your foot down and refuse, and in the end, they'll thank you for it. I'm sure there's more, but those are the main things.
 
I say them all the time. To my kids, some of my friends, other family....and I always mean them.

Love is so different from one person or relationship to another it's hard to say what "love" is in one brief post. My love for, say, my daughter is nothing like my love for a close friend, and not even exactly like the love I have for my son even though they're both my children. I love them equally, but not the same.

I'm going to get trounced for this but it's like porn. Can't come up with one definition that fits it all, but you definitely know it when you see it.

All right! Just get past that one word and it fits. Really.

You're talking sex not love. :lol:

Complete this sentence, Love to me is:


I say it casually to many people. I say it to those i love all the time.

Love is an interesting thing. You can love and hate the same person. You can love someone and not even like them. You can love someone and not be IN love with them. There are people you you never say the words "i love you" to but in everything you do screams that you love them.

Men say "i love you" to get sex. Women have sex to get "love".

I love people for doing kind or nice things. I love people who help. But i am sure not "in love" with them.

Something to always remember: You can be dead in the next moment. Did you tell the people you love you loved them?

Not sure about the part in bold, at least not as often as it's made out to be. If that's the case, it isn't real anyway. Far too many people equate sex, infatuation or passion with love and they're very different animals. But otherwise you nailed it. ;)

I wasn't even going to attempt describing that sort of romantic love. If thousands upon thousands of poets in millenia of recorded human history have tried and all failed, it's probably not going to happen in a post on the USMB. Sorry, froggy!

I will say one thing though. I've been "in love" many times. I've loved several times. But that great love, the kind that is deep and calm and sure, selfless and completely fulfilling, trusting and giving and receiving without hesitation, always present but always changing....that is a rare gift with no words yet invented to describe it. There's a reason the poets failed.

If you have it, cherish it. Because we really aren't guaranteed tomorrow.

Boy, do I need more coffee! :lol:
 
Having sex to get love? just a fading feeling. Would you humble yourself to a stranger, would you embarrass yourself in front of many, would you be seen with the homeless, would you care for a sick person you don't even know. Do you have this type love in you?

Very interesting. Do you think a person can be in love with more than one other person at the same time?
