If you are looking for love, would you recognize it
if you found it?
Can you tell the difference between love and infatuation?
Between love and attraction?
Between love and sexual desire?
Between love and friendship?
Between sex and intimacy?
Between a good relationship and one that is only pleasurable?
The Meaning of Love offers and explains
a definition of love in a way that is interesting, intense, clear, logical,
and meaningful. All relationships --love, infatuation, friendship, dating,
marriage, family, community, and professional-- involve three key elements:
Emotions --how we feel about each other
Ethics --how good or bad we are for each other
Joys --how much we satisfy or dissatisfy each
other
These determine the quality of our relationships; and The
Meaning of Love explains how they interrelate, and why attraction
--the normally considered most important emotional element and conventional
hallmark of love-- is not sufficient to signify a relationship as one of
love, no matter how strong or how enduring that attraction may be.
