Is love an act or a feeling?

I personally believe love is a feeling. There are plenty of people that love others, but don't act on it. It's honestly the thought that counts sometimes.

Honestly I think now that it's more of a feeling. I used to think it was an act... But it's a special feeling, one that rarely ever ceases once it has come into existence within a bond... Sometimes you will love someone, and that will mean making the effortless effort to talk to them everyday, to listen to them, to compliment and encourage them... And other times you will love someone, and that will mean needing to let them go, even stop talking to them because your interactions are not positively constructive.. In either case you feel something very strong, and the nature of your acts of love towards someone may change, but that intense feeling is always there.. a feeling of wanting the best for them, whether that means in closeness or in the distance

I think feeling. You can do the same action for two different people but only feel love doing it for one of them.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes. It is both. Love is a feeling which soothes the soul and makes everything else feel better. And if you feel love, you want to express it in the way that you treat your love. I often advice others that, if you want to know whether someone truly loves you, ignore their words and look at how they treat you. Players fake words of love but they rarely fake the actions that accompany real love.

I want to say both, but more an act of the will.

Feelings are fickle. If they were love, we wouldn't have sentiments of betrayal and shock when someone who claimed to love us once, turns around doesn't anymore.

Starts out as a feeling and maintains itself through actions, ideally

But if I can only choose one, a feeling

[Emmytexrex]

It's a feeling that we act upon but people mix infatuation and lust for love genuine love takes time and it is patience and compromise

It's a feeling that calls upon you to act.

I think love is expectation. But it should be synchronization.

[Crankor]

It's both. They go hand in hand

[MoonFace2]

A bit of both.

[Wise4myage]
