What Does Love Mean:Grown Up Version
Now that we heard what Kids had to say about Love. Lets hear what grown up feel about Love ..

1.) love is something that should allow both parties to be equally thoughtful of one another, not taking each other for granted, doing things for one another - not because you have to - but because you want to.

2.)Love is not being too upset when he leaves the seat up on the toilet or him being understanding when she insists she needs that 4th pair of black pumps. It is being able to see one another's faults and loving them anyway. It is not ever wanting them to hurt and striving to be the best person you can be, and truly being sorry if by accident you fall short of that. It is "completing" one another - but not in an unhealthy sense. It is something that never dies.

3.)Love is knowing that there is only person who holds the "key" to your heart. Knowing that you will be spending the rest of your life with them just makes you feel really good inside. Love is not being able to stop thinking about this person, not being able to stay separated for too long.

4.)Love is not knowing what to say, but you know that you don't have to say anything at all. Love is not only told through one word to someone that you really love. Actions represent how we feel, so if you truly love someone let them know today, waiting for tomorrow may be too late.

5.) In love is the "gut feel" for someone where you have butterflies, etc. You are just happy to be in the same room with them. Loving someone is caring about thir well-being. Wanting to help. Being caring. But you can do it from 1000 miles as easily as right there.

6.)I think it's possible to have long lasting love and also be "in love." Maybe not all the time head over heels being in love, but if two people consciously light each other's sparks, long lasting love and lust can remain exciting and new. It has to be worked on, though, from both sides. I have to admit I still go "ooh and ahh" over my husband's eyes, or his smile, or that tight butt of his even after nine years and many of those having been really tough and being nearly divorced.

7.)Love is saying I'm sorry. Love is a precious thing - both in giving and receiving. Love is unconditional. Love is being there and giving space accordingly. Love is forgiving. Love is trust. Love is a gift from God. Love is everlasting.

8.) Love is what you put into the marriage, not what you get back from it or think you deserve. Love grows deeper over the years and this person is supposed to be your best friend you can confide in and share with. The one that fights occasionally with you for principles and then tells you they are sorry for their part in the arguing. Love forgives one another, notcheats on one another.

9.) love means caring enough about someone that you want to put their interests and welfare ahead of your own.

10.)Maybe love is really about growth and we need to crash into a few walls until we find the door to walk through.courtesy: http://divorcesupport.about.com/cs/avoidingdivorce/a/aa111502_2.htm
