2….love is happy and satisfying. It is not only beautiful in itself, but  it also increases the loveliness of the people involved. …love makes people feel warm, secure and cheerful.

3….grows trough the years. It is neither passionate, nor hostile and hurting. The people experiencing it are kept together with feelings of mutual respect and understanding. Sometimes true love can be built upon a foundation of … love.

4….love is vigorous, insistent and urgent it centers on sexual relationships of men and women. It can also be selfish, with little concern for the other. By itself, this kind of love is exhausting. Blended with other love forms, it can be exhilarating and fulfilling.

5….love is a possessive love. A jealous lover holds the other person so tightly that the person is cut off from other people. Jealousy is almost always a mark of insecurity.

1. In…love the emotions of love and hatred are closely related. This tendency to hate those you love involves a feeling of ambivalence – being attracted to and repelled by someone at the same time.
