Can somebody please explain to me what exactly "love" is? I want a definition that encompasses all of the various ways we use the word. Good luck with that

Okay, my definition of LOVE is partly from a religious point of view only because a pastor said it: Love is a dicision. It's a choice you make to do anything possible to make the other person happy. And when both people are focused on this, how can it go wrong?
This was also his way to tell if a couple was ready to get married. If both people were wanting to be with the other person in order to make the other person happy.
