Answer 1

El amor es, nunca teniendo que decir que lo sientes.

*Love is, never having to say you're sorry.*

From the 1970 movie "Love Story"

corny but memorable, ya got a vote - albert-fabrik-, May 8, 2010

Sounds good in the films but In real life if people dont ever sincerely say, "I'm sorry" the relationship as little or no chance of surviving - FELIZ77, May 8, 2010

So it is good for people in love to never regret - Fidalgo, May 8, 2010

Answer 4

4 El amor es sufrido, es benigno; el amor no tiene envidia; el amor no es jactancioso,no se envanece,

5 no hace nada indebido, no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no guarda rencor;

6 no se goza de la injusticia, sino que se goza de la verdad.

7 Todo lo sufre, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.

8 El amor nunca deja de ser;

1 Corintios 13 (Reina-Valera 1995)

4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,

6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never fails;

1 Corinthians 13 (New American Standard Bible)

Answer 6

Chemistry.

Eso es sexo. Lol or jajajaj! - chica_rica, May 8, 2010

Ian, they say love makes the world go 'round. So I think it's more of Physics. :) - Rikko, May 8, 2010

Answer 7

Lovecannot be shared

So we just have to have lots of it on stock then? :) - Rikko, May 8, 2010

jajaja, yes, that's right :-) - Fidalgo, May 9, 2010

Answer 8

I could pay good money to feel what I felt as a teenager when discovering love. Love can be your real birth, you feel you are finally living for something or it can just plain kill you jaja. In general loving is the easy part, having a relationship is the hard one. They are separate (yet linked) and though I can handle the 1st part I don't stand a chance in the 2nd one. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

No mugs or keyholders? :) - Rikko, May 8, 2010

Answer 9

El amor es la rázon que todos estemos aquí, nada más ni nada menos. Love is the reason we are all here, nothing more or less.

I wish it were so Margartet - ian-hill, May 8, 2010

Hi Ian, well you know all I' really saying is that -it's procreation, right - no big romanticism from me, sadly (?) - margaretbl, May 8, 2010

Margaret, I think what you really mean is "making love". :) - Rikko, May 8, 2010

Answer 10

For me, love is getting to know/ knowing a person intimately through personal experience of a relationship and accepting them despite all their faults and weaknesses knowing that I have faults and weaknesses too.

Answer 11

The best and worst thing in life, and I hope everyone is blessed with the chance to experience it. Its one roller coaster ride I never want to get off of. Im actually trying to write a book based on my experiences with my husband and how big of a cultural diffrence there is between us and how hard it is at times and how we really struggled with it in the begining of our relationship

Answer 12

Jeje, I remembered all those "Love is..." bubble gums

Answer 13

Pain.

Answer 14

Ilusion y confusion muchas veces...

Answer 15

el amor es disfrutar de algo, o alguien, sin querer cambiarlo.

Maybe the Spanish isn't perfect, but if you REALLY love something, or someone... you don't want it to change (ie. you love it just the way it is).
