I think its a whole bunch of things...I think its a beautiful feeling....I think its commitment....I think its a choice....I think its action....I think its passion and willingness all rolled into one....
Bearwoman: If love wasn't a feeling that I had towards my late husband then I wonder what it was then what I had felt.
You appear to have met your soulmate in your husband. From the very start, was there strong chemistry or was he a person that you instinctively knew you would grow to love, over time?

You modern people think of men as being a science project when you mention the term chemistry.
Asking a question such as as time went on did I grow to love him over time. Are you nuts.,I fell in love with him the first time I met him geesh.We were married almost 40 years and he gave two handsome sons who grew up to be responsible adult men.
You modern people shpuld have your modern wording up your butt.
MsContessa: ...... but it is a decision you make and then requires time and true commitment to grow. Based on past or present experience, would you agree?
You get the chance to veto, the choice to not act on your feelings. The heart wants it wants although you don’t have to listen to it. Impulse control.
And I would say longer term relationships require impulse control and two partners need to complement one another in a more practical way. It’s to handle life’s mundanity, to commit to one partner forever will involve a lot of boredom and boredom tolerance is the secret ingredient in death do us part. Boredom will destroy impulsive people in whatever they do.

Love is a pure feeling... The decisions, the commitment, the boring everyday life, the compromise...tall this is a "relationship"... But love is love, it is part of the mixture and when it's gone, it's gone and you have all the rest to pretend you are still having a relationship...
Some people are able to transcend the biology we are, and find the meaning of "love, and "life"". Most of us, dont, for whatever reasons, but we do have CS, and/or few other CS´s to talk about it.
Most of us throw words at it but never pin it down. Love is not about having a point, and love is not about fear. Love is reducing the sense of loneliness, and there is more to love than just mating. Love is vulnerability and an attachment that brings comfort to ourselves and provides security at same time.
