Do you know what love is? Have you ever found yourself in love? Do you know
what true love and how do you know if you are in love? These are some of the things
this article will provide answers for.
Honestly love is one of the most
complicated questions for the mankind. Thousand of years had passed by and
romantic relationships have bloomed yet we still find it difficult to define
what love is. Love has different meanings to different people all over the
world but the simple definition of love is that love is the warm, kind feeling,
fondness affectionate and tender devotion two people of opposite sex or same
sex feel for each other. In other words love is nothing more than the fondness
between two people who have strong affinity for each other. What matter most in
love is what two people feel for each other and that is what is called love.
From academic points of view, Psychology sees love as a
cognitive phenomenon that has a strong social attributes attached to it. In an
attempt to better explain what love is, social psychologists identified three
elements of love, passion, intimacy and commitment all wrapped into love. In other words, love can be said to be the deep,
intense and unending feeling that anyone in love feel in his heart when he or
she thinks about the person he or she loves. Love is that shared intimate and interpersonal
feelings that sometimes leads to sexual relationship between two people.
Love can be best illustrated as a very strong deep feeling
in you. It is that feeling that you experienced when you are with that special
person in your life or when you thinking about him or her and that strong
feeling you experience is engrossed with affection, attraction and hunger for
intimacy. The nature of love a times makes many people see love as
non-existent, vague and makes them question the reality of the word love. To
many people, love does not exist, it is false and meaningless and this mindset
is borne out of instances of hatred and brutality which people do experience in
love relationships.
Love is certainly an intricate matter and to actually come
to better understanding of it, you should truly know yourself as well as have a
perspective of what you want in your love relationship. Lack of this self analysis leads to heartbreaks
which so many people have experienced in love.
Though love exist between two people, there are many types
of love and this range from platonic to familial and friendship as well as
romantic love which may be full of sexual affection if not well managed. On the
contrary however there is no love that is as strong and powerful as romantic
and sexual relationship between two people
One thing that still plays an important role in any love relationship
most especially romantic love is the compatibility of the love partners. Compatibility
is a strong factor to think about in any lasting long term relationship if you
want one. What compatibility simply means is that the love partners share a lot
of things in, they are compatible to each other and understand each other well
enough. The presence of compatibility in
a romantic love relationship makes two people in love to overlook each
others shortcomings and weaknesses most times as well as share joy and sorrow
together,.
