From my daughter's wedding ceremony:

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not show off, it does not brag; does not behave rudely, isn't selfish, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in wrongs done, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Love isn't only a feeling. It's a misconception to think that S____ and K_______ fell in love, got married and felt groovy the rest of their lives. Love is a commitment and an action even when you don't feel like it."

I've never experienced the receipt of that kind of love, but that's how *I* love someone whether it's romantic love or not... unless the other person refuses to respect me or is selfish in what they call love.

That's a start, anyway, in what Love means to me.
