Dictionary.com defines love as “a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person, or a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.”When I think about it and reflect on it I discover that love is much more than just a feeling
Love is a decision and commitment. Feelings do change and sometimes the people we say we love sometimes do things that make us not want to love them.
When that happens, the feelings are gone, so what do we do?
Do we stop loving them or do we do our best to make thing s work out?
Everyone says I love you, even the devil says it. What is important is what we do for the people we say we love. How much are we willing to give or sacrifice? How long are we willing to sit at the door steps waiting for them to open the door so we could talk things out?
That’s what love is all about. If Christ was willing to let go of all the glory of heaven to come and go through what he went through, I would say that love transcends all feelings. Love is more than just having our heart race as we see the person we love, or having the palms of our hands sweat, or not being able to say a word at the site of the person we claim to love.
Love is more than all of that
Love is a decision we take and we commit ourselves to do whatever it takes.
What is love to you?

hmmmm, I completely agree with you there brother, I would say exactly the same thing. No greater love. Well, I hope everyone would be reading this page hehehhe. They all need a word of advice from that. hehe.
it's all clear on your post... cannot add more, what I wanted to add is already there. I totaly agree that love is more than just a feeling. It has to be a commitment and you have to be responsible when you love.
The greatest example of love is Jesus Christ and of that we should be thankful all the time.
