"A lady of 47 who has been married 27 years and has six children knows what love really is and once described it for me like this: 'Love is what you've been through with somebody.'"

Love is what you go through with somebody but decide to stay anyway.

Love is continuing to achieve shared dreams even when a loved one cannot.

Love is accepting, without trying to change. Love is...bringing out the best in the other person. Love is giving unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. Love is...love...in every way. The heart, the soul, the breathe, to the depth of the very core of one's being. Love...the combination of all feelings.

Right, not for financial security, but simply for the sake of being love to somebody, including oneself.

Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by their presence, even when they are away. Miles do not separate you. You have so many wonderful little films in your head that you keep replaying. But near or far, you know they are yours, and you can wait.Love is an upper. It makes you feel whole. It completes the circle. It fills the empty space in your heart. Love is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you don't have. If there is no love in your life, whatever else there is has a lot less meaning.

It is being with someone who love's you for the person you are now and want's nothing more than that. It is someone who will stand by you through the good and the bad time's. It is looking at the person and knowing you are the happiest person on the planet because you have found the one. It is someone where you love everything you do because you are doing it with them. I like the song " that start's :" Love take's time and it's hard to find". It really is so true. I could go on and on, perhap's later when I have more time.

AH HA. My last girlfriend said something very similar to me, I wasn't aware of where she got it.
Thanks

Love is...hope.
Risking pain for the sake of joy. Exposing our weaknesses and accepting others as they are and not as we think they should be. Love is knowing that we can agree or not, but that we'll still love each other. Romantic love is all about being one being, a bond between two people. That's one form of love, but love itself is so much more...friends and family, parents and children, the Force that binds us all together. Knowing that each of us feels, that other people aren't just actors playing out scenes on the backs of our brains, but are experiencing the same feelings that we are. Love is fully comprehending each others' reality and then developing the empathy to share it.
