Family love is not just about blood. There is the family you are born into and the family you choose.
Lover-love for me has been like finding another part of myself. Regardless if he is happy, angry, sad, worried... whatever.

I think after lived together for more than 10 years and not killed each other even one time, family should be a part of oneself...

Still not understand. I have had friends who understand me, think like me, even look like me. But I don't think I love them or vice versa.

BTW, love your icon! ^o^

Thank you :D
Who's to say that a roommate you've lived with for ten years isn't family then? Blood is NOT needed to make a family.
I was more talking about finding a aprt of your soul in another person.

I think it is more the 'opposite'.. and love isnt a thing, it is a process.. (imho).. transformation so to say..

One thing which u need to understand while analysing "what the difference is" - is biological design of male and female brain and behavioural habbits. I am not going to give reason to feminists to argue, but male and female brains work differently when it comes to concept of love. Because our bodies are designed to go after different targets. The key outcome is that for a guy love and physical are two different things. could be even separate. for gal its a combination.. Each individual is different of course, but the 'off-the-box' design goes this way. and there's more on this point. (if interested, I can compile a reading list for you)

Did you hear about "men from mars. women from venus"? This is light reading piece. I may be able to find this book in PDF as well :)

There are other, more scientific writings which I've skimmed in book stores and they seem to kinda make sense. i.e. this or maybe this (the latter one talks about syndrome of 'Objectification' (thanks to the 'entertainment industry'), which is quite widespread in the western (won't point with my finger) societies.

On the objectification bit you may also want to check out a movie named 'mail ordered wife'. The movie is shocking, but I believe it may have bits of truth in it.

It's not rude at all. I'm happy to be friended, because that means somebody found my LJ worth reading. XD
