Of course in this world no two people are exactly the same, and will have the same opinions about what love may be or mean to them. It is important not to force the person you love into believing your views on love, but instead to just let them love you for who you are. When seeking a general view on love I realize that I view love as it was explained to me in the bible since I was young.
1st Corinthians 13: 4-8 tells in a few choice words of what God feels love is, as explained by the Apostle Paul:
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
This deciphered basically says a few of love's requirements. Love requires patience, kindness, loyalty, forgetting past fights, not being jealous of someone else's love, not trying to make someone else jealous of your love, not disrespecting anyone, and a disregard for man's inherently selfish ways. It also requires that we use a lot of forgetfulness in regards to past tribulations, and shouldn't be used for evil. Love requires that you protect one another, trust one another, believe in one another, and hold fast to one another. With all of these requirements fulfilled, this love will not fail!
