What does "love" mean to you? Or how do you describe it? Just curious, if ENFJ's have a certain view on what LOVE is.
It can be about anyone... family, friend, SO.

You probably read this somewhere but this is what love means to me :)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4
Ideally, that's how i want to show love to others and vice versa.

I used to think I knew what love is, but well i don't really. something along the lines of liking somebody alot but there is more to it.
Love is very important to me i just ain't going to claim i have it figured out yet
Love is a largely misunderstood concept IMHO.
I'm sick of looking around and seeing some star-struck 14 year olds claiming that the hormones raging within their bodies equate to love. I'm even more sick when I see adults doing it.
To me at least, love is a feeling which lasts far longer than that giddy 'zomfg, in a new relationship and it is amazing' feeling people so often mistake for love. The way you feel when you love someone is unique, you can never quite put it into words. Love is staying with someone even when their looks fade and you've been through just about every bump in the road together; it transcends physical attraction, it keeps us through whatever is thrown in our path.
Love is letting someone go in order to make them happy within their own lives. It's unselfish, forever giving.
"The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth" - Scott Peck
“The expression of productiveness (which) implies care, respect, responsibility and knowledge; a striving towards growth and happiness of the loved person, rooted in one’s own capacity to love.” - Erich Fromm
Being in love with another person is feeling like you are under their spell and that you are amazed with every aspect of their inner and outer beauty and would do absolutely anything for them. That they understand every fiber of your being and you are not afraid to expose your true thoughts/feelings to them.However, that is all rarity so I don't search too hard for "love". Loving my friends and family is us making each other happy when we are together and caring about them. Love is important but for all ENFJs, love yourself first before you go around dumping all your love for everyone in the world. There is more to life than just loving others or wanting to be loved.
