Summary
The term love is used in many ways. It has been used to refer to sexual feelings for another person, motivation to be with a person, and selfless devotion to another (just to name a few). Many times it refers to a combination of these things. Very often the term is used without definition. No one usage is the right one. Each has value. Yet in conducting research and in writing about love for academic purposes, it is important to make one’s own conceptual definition clear.
