Since love is as diverse as there are countries and cultures. Love is normally one of those very few as a general rule of thumb that is supposed to be a united world language such as the number system. No matter where a person travels in the world, the numbering system is the same i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4….15 and so forth. It has been stipulated as written by Mr. Gary Chapman (1995), “… the need to feel loved is a primary human emotional need”.

As explained before love is found universally everywhere over the globe but yet each individual person creates their own concept of what love is, how it works, how strong it is and how much it could take before its power expires. As stated by the American Psychological Association (2014), “… about a 40 - 50 percent of married couples in the United States divorce.” Why is this statistic so high? Some families are able to divorce without batting an eyelid forgetting why they married, and those very same people may furiously argue that there is no such thing as love but I truly beg to differ. They may just be confusing the type of love they feel and most definitely underestimating its power. They forget that the power of love is what arouses the heart to tackle head on any obstacle physically, emotional or theoretically i.e. unsalable mountains, deepest seas, scorching deserts, enraged hurricanes and even distances that certainly seems planets apart to brave the journey to their true …show more content…
(4)The fourth language, Acts of Service can be plainly described has serving the man or woman you love by simply catering to their needs in the relationship. These needs can simply be cooking meals, cleaning the house, washing dishes, laundry, massages, taking out the trash, mowing the lawn, washing the car, brewing coffee in the morning, being their chauffeur, walking the dog, shoveling, cleaning the snow/ ice off their car.

    "The general phenomenon of love encompasses romantic love, the love of a parent for a child, love of one 's country, and more." This statement can be found in Robert Nozicks 's article, Love 's Bond. Robert Nozick has some great points he makes in his article. He explains what romantic love is; for instance he defines it as "wanting to form a we with a particular person and also wanting the other person to feel the same way." He gives many explanations on why this definition of romantic love is correct; however, I will only focus on how he explains a "we" to become a new entity or a new identity; furthermore, I will not explain his view on friendship, marriage, and loving more than one person at a time be it isn 't that important to the deffiniton.…

    The Great Gatsby Love is a strange and undefinable emotion, the concepts and ideas about love are very broad, but one thing is not: It is powerful. Love makes people vulnerable, it may seem like a bullet that pierces through your perpetuity, but what is a person without vulnerability. People are born from that passion and that is why life is an endless conquest in pursuit of that same love. The feel of it is what makes a human a human. All rationality and sanity go out the window and one is left in their original state, almost like an animal of instinct.…

    After many years of my parents being together, their love languages began to fade more and more. What I saw missing the most in my parents relationship was that they did not show their love physically. In the writings of “Understanding The Five Love Languages,”, the author Gary Chapman explains how marriages should constantly build love by stating “ In marriage, the love language of physical touch includes everything from putting a hand on your mate's shoulder as you walk by, touching his or her leg as you're driving together, and holding hands while you're walking to kissing, embracing and sexual intercourse.” I feel that my parents should be participating in these kind of actions because it could help lead to a healthier marriage for us…

    Social philosopher Erich Fromm formed a definition of love that is simple, yet comprehensive. He broke love into four connected but distinct elements: respect, care, knowledge, and responsibility (hooks 19). These forms can exist on their own, but when authentic and genuine love is practiced, the four must exist together. We must, at the very least, respect others. Often times, when a relationship is established, we go above that basic respect and care for others.…

    Love makes us create our own reality when the one that is true is not to our liking. The knight in La Belle Dame Sans Merci is smitten with the lady of the meadows to the point where all the knight can do is stare at her exquisite beauty: “I set her on my pacing steed, / And nothing else saw all day long” (Keats 21-22). The knight being blinded by love is similar to how most humans deal with love. We become so engrossed in another person that we stop caring for our needs.…

    A person who compliments the other spiritually and whole heartedly could easily produce a life full of love, but unfortunately more times than not, it is not enough.

That’s the thing about love; sometimes it can come too easily and leave devastatingly. But could never blame an inanimate emotion such as love for the pain it has caused, on can only…
