Love is supposed to be an extreme emotion towards another human being. Love is supposed to be a feeling that is supposed to be all consuming, all encompassing and pure. Isn’t it? But then is the “love” we have for our wives, girl friends, husbands, boy friends, love? Isn’t love supposed to be an emotion that gives whole and soul without expecting anything in return? If you’re in love, aren’t you supposed to accept your partner just the way he or she is? If that is so, why do couples fight? If you fight doesn’t it just mean that you haven’t truly accepted your partner and want them to be the way you are and the way you want them to be? Does this just mean that this might not be love?
Also, what about all the physical intimacy? Is this a reason to fall in love or is it just a perk? If it’s a reason, then again, we might not actually be in love. Can anyone truly say that they love their partners without actually being intimate with them? And I’m not just talking bout the early stages. What if even after a few months, maybe a few years, your partner hasn’t gotten physically intimate with you. Can you truly say that you still love them? Is love just another word for sex? (I know that it is used that way sometimes! But you know what I mean.). Is sex the reason you fall in love? Is love just a dumb short circuit in the brain so that the species can procreate and survive? (I know homosexuality exists, and cannot contribute to procreation, but lets just concentrate on heterosexuality for the moment).
So, I ask again,
What is love?
Comments as usual are welcome.

I don't think it's possible to go years without being intimate if two people are 'in love', in the romantic sense of the word. Sex and love complement each other. If you're in love with someone, like really really really, soul mate love... Then you want to be one with that person and sex is the closest you can get.
When two people don't get intimate it's probably because of fear or ideas that society has imposed. Deep down inside you can't possibly not want to do the person you love.
cool.... u share my thoughts :D
