Love is...The ancient Greeks described it in different ways:
* Storage: a natural affection
* Eros: Sexual
* Philia: Friendship
* Ludas: Flirting
* Pragma: Committed, married love
* Philautia: Self-love
* Agape: Unconditional, divine love
The technical stuff...
Phenylethylamine or PEA: A chemical that naturally occurs in the brain and is also found in some foods, such as chocolate. It is a stimulant, much like an amphetamine, that causes the release of norepinephrine and dopamine. This chemical is released when you fall in love.
And the mushy stuff...
Being wildly and emotionally happy
Back rubs
Verbal words of assurances, compliments
Clasping hands
Looks
Expressions of tenderness
Kissing
Hugs
Then there's the serious stuff...
* Staying true, loyalty, faithfulness
* Communication, talking
* Growth in understanding, overlooking and forgiving
* Acceptance of flaws
* Patience
* Respect
Read 1 Corinthians 13.
Love is so much and so many things.
Blessings!
