Love is any of a number of
emotions related to a sense of strong
affection[1] and
attachment. The word
love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic
pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense
interpersonal attraction ("I love my wife"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
As an abstract concept,
love usually refers to a deep,
ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of
romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of
familial and
platonic love[2] to the profound
oneness or devotion of
religious love.
[3] Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of
interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the
creative arts.
