Love comes in many forms. It's hard to rank them all, but I'll try.
1. Divine love the one that lifts you up above all others. Most importantly, that true love found in a partnership that embraces vulnerabilities and loves you anyway. I remember the overwhelming peace I felt in his presence, with his serenity in nature and his appreciation of the simple things—his ease. It was a love that showed me how to be vulnerable again, what intimacy really is. A love that helped me grow into a fuller version of myself, that molded me whole, and in doing so, laid the foundation for the highest form of love. When you find unconditional love that supports you to fulfill your highest purpose on Earth, that's divine love. It’s tragic that we must experience transformational love to lose the former to make way for the latter. Like a caterpillar before it sheds the cocoon so we can become a butterfly.
2. Self-love: The War Between the Ego and the Higher Self. The love that helps you grow! It came to me through heartbreak, the opposite of love. It allowed me to know myself. The importance of self-love as a lasting foundation for a successful love relationship cannot be overstated. Without true love of self, you have nothing to share with another but your own poverty of spirit. The transformational kind of love that I experienced after heartbreak. That was the love that facilitated my waking up and helped me reconnect to myself and discover what I want. True love of self is the love that comes from a strong connection to Higher Mind and Higher Self. That strong connection liberates the intuitive nature to provide us with spiritual guidance and a heart full of compassion. This is when you become aware of your boundaries and needs, paving the way for the highest form of love.
3. Love born of ego. Passionate love that comes in doing what makes you happy. It was a love that took me to Thailand to begin my journey of exploration. I traveled Southeast Asia without rules or expectations to places of sublime natural beauty that inspired my soul. On my path to self-actualization I discovered the simple luxury of time: time to feel, time to connect with people I met along my journey, time to live in the moment, and time to feel content on my own. When a friend of mine recently returned from living and teaching in Thailand, I was fueled with excitement as he talked about the natural beauty of the land and culture. I had recently watched "Eat, Pray, Love" and was captivated by this kind of transformative love captured beautifully by Elizabeth Gilbert, the bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love. She wrote:
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.”
Love is the most powerful thing that exists in this universe but unfortunately not everyone finds it. When they don't find love they become lost and sin. Even what appears to be the most innocent kind hearted individual on the this planet can be lost. So if you ever find genuine true love protect it and value it everyday. And don't ever make a mistake for thinking passing love as genuine love. Protect yourself from heart ache don't open up til you know for sure.

I don't mean to be picky, but then again, I sort of do! LOL "Genuine love" is an oxymoron to me, or at best redundant. If it's "Love", then it's genuine. If it seems like love, has some of the characteristics of love some of the time, or comes and goes with the situation - then it's not love. To me, it's the same as saying " a true fact".
So it's either love, or it isn't. If it is, it's real and genuine. I wish folks wouldn't put varying qualifiers in front of the word. :)
A fucking huge yes! It is rare to find! Value your partner if you really feel valuable by him. Too many men and women are toxic nowadays, too many people cheating on both sides and worse shit going on, so its kind of hard to find someone compatible, but it is there. Live every moment fully and happily, best wishes

Genuine love is a magical unicorn- it doesn't exist, other than in fairytale stories for gullible little children, for the purpose of enticing them in so that the big corporations can keep selling them massively inflated overpriced merchandise. Get real, wake up and smell the cow manure that's heaped on as fertilizer for your magical field of flowers and rainbows...

I completely agree mam, and it doesn't have to be from your partner or someone who will be your partner in the future. It can be from your friend or family or even your pet. A love that makes you complete is definitely the most valuable thing mam. But sadly a lot of people never find it, but I hope everyone does find someone like that.

Haha I don't think so...
I feel like love is something pushed so companies can profit.
You know restaurants, hallmark cards, jewelery, flowers, chocolate, and condoms.
All those businesses benefit when they sell you on the idea of love.
And then lawyers that handle divorces benefit when the fun ride is over.
Genuine love? I don't think there's anything genuine about it.

As the money monster that I am... I agree. Genuine love is the most valuable thing. Money however is the most important thing. Without money it's death by starvation and becoming food for maggots or hypothermia. Money can be made and earned but genuine love can't be created or produced.

Of course having genuine love for somebody is a whole new thing there's a lot that goes in when a person has genuine love for you there's also respect in the in the same category they won't hurt you or do you wrong normally

Yes. Love is the whole reason for life, and genuine love is the most precious gift---especially because these days it is so rare---that one can receive (or give) in life.

Nope. Money is. Love doesn't pay the bills. This is a selfish and cruel world we live in and its literally every person for themselves.

True Love can only Come from God as Jesus is Love and Truth. All other Love is empty without God's Love, so seek Christ and you will find Love.
I agree. In my opinion, genuine love can be defined as a feeling of limitless kindness and happiness you can bring to people without any expectations from others. You just present your love and it makes you happy.
I agree. But It's very rare. I feel unconditional love is what we can say the true or genuine love. But finding Unconditional love is as hard and rare way more than it seems. God Bless such people.
