Love

What is love? Love is defined by so many different people in so many different ways. How can we know what love really means to a person? Their definition of love can be completely different to what your view on love is. Of all of these definitions of love though, how can we know when it is true, undeniable, and unmistakable love? In the book we are reading for class, Marriage and Family 8th Edition it talks about the different ways people think and act when they say they are in love. One way they explained being in love is when you would do anything for that person, you want to get to know them more, you want to spend all of your time with them and you feel comfortable around them. I have never been in love, but as I read this I was reminded about my own parents and siblings and their spouses. Each of these loving couples especially show examples of selflessness towards each other. They want to others comfort just as much or more than their own comfort. When I think of my own future family and relationship with my husband, I have a goal to be just as selfless as my family. That is how I define love.
