Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Primera de Corintios Capitulo 13
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, mas se goza de la verdad. 7 Todo lo sufre, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.

In my opinion, a perfect definition of love and marriage, by Kahlil Gibran:
Ámense el uno al otro pero no hagan del amor una atadura.
Que sea mas bien como el movimiento de un océano que se extiende entre las orillas de sus almas.
Llénense el uno al otro sus copas, pero no beban de la misma copa.
Dense el uno al otro el pan, pero no coman del mismo pedazo.
Canten, bailen y gocen juntos, pero que cada uno de ustedes sea independiente.
Como las cuerdas de un laúd, que, aunque están separadas, tiemblan con la misma música.
Den su corazón, pero no para que el otro lo posea.
Porque solo la mano de la vida puede contener sus corazones.
Estén juntos, pero no demasiado juntos.
Pues aun los pilares del templo están separados entre si.
Y ni el roble ni el ciprés crecen el uno a la sombra del otro.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
Amar es cuando mis nietos llegan a mi casa corren hacia mi sonriendo y gritando "¡Hola abuelita!".
(Love is when my grandsons arrive at my house they run at me smiling and shouting "Hello nanna!)
Amar es cuando mi gato me mira y comienza a ronronear de inmediato
Love is when my cat looks at me and starts purring right away.
El amor es como el entusiasmo de nuestros perros de exposición cuando nos ven regresar a casa después de un viaje corto a la tienda.
Love is like the enthusiasm our dogs show when they see us return home after a short trip to the corner store.
Love is being just as satisfied with the smile on your loved one's face as with the smile on your own.
Amar es quedar tan satisfecho con la sonrisa de su ser querido como con su propia sonrisa.
LeslieW,
To love somebody is a choice, love in my mind is unconditional, would I love my wife, kids, close friends if they did something like this or worse, Yes. Would trust be lost, Yes. Would I want to be around them, probably not but my love would stand and I would sincerely hope they would change their ways and not do those "bad" things again. I would be there to talk with them and try to help them through it but wouldn't put my family or friends in a situation to have something happen. I would have no reservation going alone to try to help them through prison, jail, counseling, etc. Of course not at the cost to the other people I love but myself only would take the chance. Love is a powerful thing and I feel if you truly love somebody you will be there thick or thin. I am by no means saying you should stay in a relationship or marriage that is abusive (emotionally, physically or sexually). I would question if these things are going on if the person truly loved you in the first place. This, however doesn't change the love you might feel for that person, in my humble opinion. I hope this clears up what I meant a little (Yeah, clear as mud, Jason)
