Some thoughts on love...
I was just reading a great devotional about love and was reflecting on how much my feelings and views of the subject has changed in my life. Here is an excerpt from it:
The theme of the devotional was that life is about learning to love. Now, you know that my feelings on the topic are influenced greatly by my faith, but I think that is a great purpose in life no matter if you share that faith or not. I can't think of a more rewarding mission in life than to understand and experience love!
"Although love can create intense feelings, love is not a feeling. It is a choice, an action, a way of behaving, a commitment. Love is sacrificing for others."

I really like that. Feelings are really tricky and ephemeral things. I'd hate to rely on feelings for much of anything.
