What Is The Difference Between Loving and Being In Love

It's hard to write about love, because for a woman to write about love is to write about herself and the men that she has been involved with and that is hard on anybody

Well let me tell you since you weren't listening to me on the phone Mr...
Being in love is only temporary and can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few years. The problem with being in love is that at some point you will fall out. It is at this point you have the decision to start loving. Most people/relationships don't make it that far-they jump ship when the going gets rough but the ones that do make it lasts forever . In fact it only gets better with time because they love and are loving.
Loving
Loving, means helping someone to be more of themselves which can differ from what you would like them to be (although they turn out somewhat the same)
Loving acknowledges the difference between people and embraces someone for who they are. People who are loving accept each other. They nurture, care and nourish each other and help each other grow.
Loving is a form of commitment-the commitment to preserving the essence of your partners soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away. I think it might even be safe to say that when you are loving someone,you're taking responsibility for that individual by being supportive of their morals and values etc.
Loving gives us meaning, a sense of peace and accomplishment. It gives us purpose and fulfillment in life because of what it is - a form of commitment.
People who are loving give themselves freely, selflessly, willingly, and without a selfish motive. The minute a motive is there (it is not love anymore). Love completes not competes. People who are loving are aware that they belong to each other but understand that they do not possess each other.
Loving is a conscious decision which requires hard work and can cost a lot but not loving always cost more.
Being In Love
When you are in love , you lose control of your emotions, you feel larger than life and wiser than others. You make that person the center of your world. You are willing to sacrifice everything for that individual. You want to possess them out of fear of loss etc..
People in love are wrapped up in an illusion about you. They are unable to see the true you, a real human being with flaws, needs, and wants. They live a fantasy life that gets rudely interrupted when reality strikes them in the face and if it doesn't strike, it slowly seeps in. But whichever way it happens, they begin to realize that their perfect little world and lover is not so perfect anymore. They begin asking themselves who is this person really? However if they begin to acknowledge you as a real person and finally accept you it is then that they have begun to love.
Being in love is an accidental happening of life and is artificial and requires artificial means to sustain it. It is addictive and to stay in love you will have to recreate the experience by recreating the situation which could mean finding someone new.
