Why do you tell people you Love them?
Love is the only word that I cannot understand. I see couples and families say to each other, “I Love You!” It makes me question what their definition of love is because they use the word so often that I feel like love is not as special as it should be. In the dictionary love means that you have a passionate affection for another person, deep affection for a parent, child or friend, or have sexual passion or desire. There are several ways to define love. As I was doing my research on the meaning of love I noticed that the meaning changes in the books and the internet just a little bit but love continues to have a similar meaning. In the end I

Obviously a relationship starts when two people decide to date because they like each other for who they are. Relationships are a test to see if the couple can handle any situation they go through and prove to themselves that they will either be together for a short or long time. I found an article where a woman named Lisa Cleary tried to explain what she thought love meant to her.

If they know they will last then there will be a time in the relationship where they would decide to spend the rest of their lives with each other and if everything works out then they will decide to get married. Marriage is a huge commitment because it is a lifetime contract between the couple. This lifetime contract is a way of justifying the true love between couples. I know that …show more content…
Our love for God is strong because of all the hope God gives us. We can hope and pray for the best. Fraternal love is the best love their is and everyone should have it because having friends and family that will always love you no matter what is the best feeling in the world. You will never feel alone if you had someone that loves you. Romantic love is great to because everyone will want to have that special person in their life they can get intimate with. Just make you that both you are on the same page and know what you guys want out of your relationship. I have seen friendships get ruined because one partner only wanted to have sex and the other partner wanted a real relationship. Love has several definitions but I would just say that it is a feeling that cannot be described but it can be felt. We will all go through heartbreaks to find that special someone. Without love, we are all

    According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the definition of the word love is a strong affection for another. People have the opportunity to love anything their heart wants to, anything that makes them happy or objects that have a sentimental value to them.

This four letter word that is used everyday, sometimes for its actual meaning or sometimes just to exaggerate what they are saying, has a very powerful message behind it.
