Love is a set of emotions and behaviors characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust. Love is most likely influenced by both biology and culture.

Love is the core of our lives. It is the purpose, passion and meaning of life. To love and be loved is the point of it all. Yet love, so important and central to our lives, is a complex experience and a confusing word.

 LOVE IS THE BUZZ WORD these days, as FEBRUARY 14^th -today is celebrated as Valentine’s Day

In fact, many are of the view that it can be celebrated by anyone who wants to express their affection for someone special, regardless of their relationship status. Valentine's Day is a day for celebrating love, not just romantic love between couples. It's a day to celebrate the love we have for our friends, family members, and even ourselves. But it is popular among couples or two people who are in a relationship.

Love, as a source of motivation and energy, transforms us into a better version of ourselves. Being loved makes you feel safe; it gives you a reason to believe in yourself. Unconditional love starts an engine inside you, opening all kinds of doors.

Love is described as an energy by virtue of its capacity to produce effects. The highest form of energy on this planet is love. All energy vibrates at different levels, but love vibrates at the highest frequency. In our daily lives, we often forget to pay attention to our surroundings, but if we stop what we are doing for just a moment, we can feel the energy of love all around us.

LOVE IN A COUPLE:

 It is wanting to be there for someone, to support them and help them grow; to make a difference in someone's life; to share in and care about someone else's happiness and struggles other than your own. Even when it's hard. Even, and especially, when you don't really want to. Usually romantic couple are termed as Love Birds

 Healthy relationships involve honesty, trust, respect and open communication between partners and they take effort and compromise from both people. There is no imbalance of power. Partners respect each other's independence, can make their own decisions without fear of retribution or retaliation, and share decisions.

 IS LOVE HEALTHY

Yes , loving relationships make us happy, but they also keep us healthy. From improving our immune system and blood pressure to helping us heal quicker and enjoy life longer, a happy relationship is life's greatest medicine. Go ahead, take that free hug. It's good for you.

 High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction. These chemicals make us giddy, energetic, and euphoric, even leading to decreased appetite and insomnia – which means you actually can be so “in love” that you can't eat and can't sleep.

 LOVE OF ONE’S LIFE :

It generally means that you are the person he / she wants/needs for life and they will love you for life and you are precious like their life to them . So if someone has said you that , your are lucky enough!

 In true love, both partners recognize and value each other's individuality, opinions, and feelings. They listen without judgment and show consideration for each other's needs and wishes. Respect in true love means treating each other with kindness and honor, even in disagreements.

 LOVE BOOST ENERGY:

 Love your partner: doing so will boost your energy, according to research in the journal Psychophysiology. The study authors tested participants' blood glucose levels before and after they thought about their partners, and found that they experienced a boost at 10 and 25 minutes after.

 Noradrenaline causes the feelings of euphoria, and the physiological responses of a faster heart rate, butterflies in the stomach and increased energy. At the same time, other brain areas are deactivated. Reduced activity in the frontal cortex reduces negative emotions and judgements.

 LOVE IN LITERTAURE

In literature, love is often portrayed as a powerful and transformative force that can bring people together, tear them apart, inspire great acts of heroism or terrible acts of betrayal, and ultimately shape the course of human lives.

 So it's no wonder that love is one of the most frequently delved-into themes in literature. It defies boundaries by appearing across all genres, age groups, and periods in history. And like in real life, the presence of love can make a story acutely heartfelt and memorable, regardless of the outcome.

 Love is one of the most universal themes in literature, as in life. In fact, the theme of love is underpins many of the stories we know. Love can be a force for good that inspires people to sacrifice themselves for others, or a toxic force that drives people to madness or violence.

 The theme of love appears in novels within many genres, as it can discuss the love of people, pets, objects, and life. Love is a complex concept, so there are still unique takes on this theme being published every day.

LITERARY COUPLE I LOVE:

Jim and Della from THE GIFT OF THE MAGI – A short story by O.HENRY were my favourite romantic couple from the day I read the story. Della Dilingham Young fondly called Della and James fondly called as Jim were the love couple who were very much in love with each other. They don't have much in the way of material possessions, but they have each other and are willing to sacrifice their most precious possession in order to bring joy to the other.

Jim and Della are among the wisest of wise men because their love for each other was selfless and priceless. More over they understand that their love for one another and their willingness to sacrifice is more important and valuable than any material good they have.

The story ends with the narrator declaring that those who sacrifice their material possessions for the people they love are as wise as the magi.

 Thus LOVE – in the form of an energy exists everywhere in the universe and transcends space and time, filled with compassion and benevolence. As a force of nature, it's always working towards making good things happen in this world and human beings.
