Love is a blessed mystery
It is like gravity: vast, invisible, the unstoppable force that connects all things.

We long for this love.
We long to love and be loved.
Wherever we are, we can awaken to it.

Love offers care and well-wishing to another without expectation or demand. There is no distance between their well-being and our own.

True love is trustworthy. Our love for others is an expression of our trust in love itself. No matter what happens, we can still love.

Love creates a communion with life. Love expands us, connects us, sweetens us, ennobles us.

Love springs up in tender concern, it blossoms into caring action. It makes beauty out of all we touch. In any moment we can step beyond our small self and embrace each other as beloved parts of a whole.

In the end, when we look at our life, the questions will be simple:
Did I live fully?
Did I love well?

Neurobiologists have found that there is a chemical released in the brain when a couple falls in love. This chemical is called phenylethlamine and it functions in the body much like an amphetamine thus explaining the superhuman feelings of a couple who is falling in love. They often make statements like "I feel like I can walk on air", "I don�t need to eat", "The grass is greener", and "The sky is bluer." Since phenylethlamine is released in the presence of your partner, you want to spend every waking moment with him and most couples do just that. Amazingly enough during this stage of their relationship, they never seem to tire of one another.

But unfortunately there is a villain in this fairy tale. Phenylethlamine highs cannot last. As with any chemical your body builds up a tolerance to it and the body requires more and more of the substance to acquire love�s special spark. Neurobiologists say it takes about four years for the chemical to fade, to run its course. Once the chemical is gone, the couple is faced with the difficult challenge of doing love with their own basic brain chemistry. This can create quite a struggle for many married couples.

Romantic love is not the only thing necessary. All kinds of loving relationships make us whole.

What is love?
If I say I love you, does that mean I need you/
does that mean you care for me?
Does that mean that you make me happy?
How is love different?

What is love!~~~ I

Love is to have a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward (a person): We love our parents. I love my friends. Or Some may have a feeling of intense desire and attraction toward (a person). Or Probably having an intense emotional attachment to: loves his house.

Of course, love can also be expressed by embracing or caressing, having sexual intercourse with, liking or desiring enthusiasticaly, theology, needs.

Why does love turn to hatred many times? why does that feeling change?

I think the line between love & hate are very close they're both very strong emotions. A friend of mine put it best i think when it comes to relationships and choosing a partner, he said

you have to think of those things that really [censored] you off about your partner and figure out if you can accept and live with them, if you can't, later on those lovey dovey feeling will end up changing to feelings of hate.

Anastasia , right.
