while posting articles i found this topic on e-harmony discussion board,

I thought it was interesting, and of some of their responses.

before i read theirs, these thoughts came me...

Love is not a Feeling, though you can Feel love

and it feels good,

Love is an intelligence, much like laughter is not humor

*Love is the expression of this divine intelligence

Love is like one of those words that can mean different things to different people,

but that doesn't change what Love is

Love is more than a feeling, it's an intelligence,

and can know it in many different ways

of the heart it is our Will, of our emotions it is our vibrant feelings or of peace

of our minds, it is our divine thoughts and words, of our beliefs it is our Faith

of our bodies it is orgasmic

Venus is what we love and how we love, but it's not love

we can know love by our feelings, but they can become habits or misguided desires

or fears ... Love is god

we can give it, we can share it, we can feel it

accepting others, having compassion, helping others for nothing in return

love is without conditions, love is not a relationship

but you can bring love into a relationship, Understanding

it's a decisive action or acceptance, Love can hurt, it's how we grow

We can confuse being in love with feelings and emotions and misguided thought and conditioning,
and not the heart.

we can be reactors to stimuli of brain and body, chemicals imbalanced

From food and chemicals that we put in our bodies.

I'm bringing love (God -good) to as many relationships possible
and most important healthy relationships to and with our selves, we deserve it.

Here are some of their answers

Love is in part a feeling, but that's only part of it.

Most importantly, love is a verb. To love. It is therefore characterized by loving actions.

I have found that it's definitely easier to love through action if I feel love, the feeling, for someone. But simply feeling love won't build a relationship.

"Love is also defined as a decision to Learn about each other, a choice to Understand each other based on that Knowledge, rather than jumping to unsubstantiated conclusions, and a conscious effort to Grow Together and not apart. An added bonus of purely human Compassion is always welcome."

"The feeling of being "In Love" is defined largely as an Inspirational Infatuation. But then it is the job of True & Pure Love to keep that wonderful feeling of being "In Love" alive, at least for the most part."

"I think that's complete BS! If love were a "decision," I could have decided to be in love with any one of several fine men who have asked me out, but I felt nothing for."

"If love were a "decision," when I had a broken heart I could have just decided not to love that person any more."

"No.... love is a FEELING. You can decide what to do with that feeling... but LOVE is a FEELING."

"I agree that it's not simply a decision or an act of will, but it's not solely a feeling either. It's a verb."

"If it were a feeling alone, you couldn't love someone - you would simply feel love, like you feel happy or sad. But you don't happy or sad anyone."

"The 'feeling' part of love is the attraction you feel for that person ...

"...but love, itself, is what others have said - a verb, an action, a choice of emotion (as opposed to logic)."

"Honestly, ask anyone who has been married for 10+ years. Some days, and sometimes more days than not, you have to make a conscious decision to be in love with the person you've committed your life to because the 'feeling' of love simply isn't enough."
