The last post got me thinking. When considering DH, the kids and those close to me, there are so many different feelings of love towards various people. In my state of feeling rather stable it occurs that love as an emotion is not instrinsically linked to sexual desire, one may inspire the other in some cases, but it is not mutually inclusive. I got emailed this really tacky page of quotes, but actually in that context some of them make much sense.
These were quotes from kids aged 4-6 when asked what love is. And these select few ring very true for me of those closest... Out of the mouths of babes:
"When someone loves you, the way they your name is different. You know
that your name is safe in their mouth"
"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at
him because you know it would hurt his feelings."
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're
scared they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not
only do they still love you, they love you even more.""You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
