But what it Love ??

"Ask your friends to explain it to you. See whether they all portray it the same way. Will they describe it as a feeling? Or will they define it as deeply caring for others but leave you to figure out what "caring" means? How many will equate love with some form of sexual attraction?

It quickly becomes clear that the word love doesn't always mean the same thing. One person may say, "I love ice cream," simply meaning he enjoys it. Another will say, "Oh, I love your outfit," meaning she admiresor desires the clothing you are wearing.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could use a consistent definition of love, especially when we are speaking about the love and the love we should have for each other?

Sadly, such consistency is lacking in the world. Most people will acknowledge that love, or at least some degree of respect, is essential for personal relationships. A great deal of caution is in order as we consider the definitions of love. Some are so vague they excuse almost any type of behavior. At times, love is merely a code word to encourage the acceptance of unconventional, destructive patterns of conduct.

Many people embrace the idea of loving others as themselves but remain blissfully unaware of how it defines love. As a result, they do not understand the necessity of putting into practice that determine the success or failure of their relationships.

For love to be meaningful it must be accurately defined and understood.

God wants us all to live forever to attain eternal life. But first we must learn how to get along with each other, how to love one another. That is why love is so important.

Peace and harmony are impossible without respect and love. If God were to grant us eternal life without teaching us how to love each other, He would be committing us to live forever in confusion and chaos.

So we come again to the question: What is love? How do you know when its real or here to stay?

And if you Love someone and you're no longer a couple When do you stop loving only them or do you never stop, if it's real true Love. Also if you lose this one true Love, was it really Love ? Do you get a chance with someone else, to find the love you want ?"

First Impressions;"You just met someone for the first time. How fast can you decide what role he or she plays in your future? For most people, all it takes is 10 minutes, according to a new study.

Sunnafrank of the University of Minnesota and Ramirez Jr. of Ohio State University surveyed 164 male and females and found that first impressions, even snap judgments, had a profound influence on the development of future relationships.

Sunnafrank and Ramirez's findings are in stark contrast to previous research that demonstrated that it takes days, even weeks, to determine how a relationship will develop.

"We're finding that it all happens much sooner than that -- it's literally within just minutes," Ramirez says in a news release.

The findings are published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships.

For the study, each person was paired up with another differant-sex person whom they had never met. They the pairs introduced themselves and talked for three, six, or 10 minutes. Afterward, the study participants were asked to predict whether or not they would have a positive future relationship with the person they just met and to classify them in one of the following categories: nodding acquaintance, casual acquaintance, acquaintance, close acquaintance, friend, and close friend.

Nine weeks later, each person was again surveyed to determine what type of relationship had occurred. Those who initially gave their partner a high positive rating tended to contact this other person and talk to them more. After follow-up, a closer friendship had developed.

The amount of time each person spent talking to each other initially had no effect on the outcome.

Ramirez says how relationships are forged is almost a self-fulfilling prophecy."
