Love is not easy to define. If you ask 100 people what love means in a romantic relationship you get 100 different answers. In our culture it normally contains three elements:
1.      Intimacy: feeling close and bonded, being able to talk about personal things, trust and mutual understanding.
2.      Passion: physical attraction and the desire to make love. Some relationships start with passion, while in others passion follows emotional intimacy.
3.      Commitment: the longing to continue the relationship, “for better or worse.” It makes the relationship last.

Love is not about words, but about actions. Care, concern for the other’s welfare and giving are essential elements. Love gives meaning to life and makes you feel good.
