"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." 1 John 4:7-10
Like the poem says: "I asked Jesus one day,"how much do you love me?"and he answered, "this much.." and stretched out his arms and died.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible

I think love is feeling able to be yourself, with all your quirks and feel comfortable knowing that you are liked and cared about regardless, and accepting your partner's quirks and faults, and even if they get on your nerves sometimes, you find them endearing.
Love for me is friendship, compassion, worrying about each other, wanting each other to be happy and taking care of each other. Love isn't perfect, it's not all hearts and flowers, and I don't think you can know if you love someone until you go through bad times together and still stay strong in the relationship. Most couples can survive in a happy relationship where things go well, it's love that keeps couples together during the bad times, staying together, supporting each other, being each others' shoulder to cry on, and being happy together when the good times return
