The truest meaning of love is as complex as the emotion itself. You love your friends, children, spouses, family, job, pets, hobbies and more. You love these things for different reasons and to varying degrees. While you may risk life and limb for your children, you would never do the same for your favorite sports team.
You may love an object. We express our affection for our favorite team (Go Red Sox!) and we may express our love for our favorite hobby, however what we really mean is we enjoy them, not truly love them. No one would give their life in the same of sewing?
We love our family. Our parents, our siblings, and our extended family. However, we may not at times like them. Most would argue we love them out of obligation, not choice.
Then there is the love we feel for our spouses. We support them, we adore them, we lust for them, we would in many circumstances sacrifice for them. And this love is by choice. We chose them, and they us. However, there are still instances where this love could diminish, and we could no longer feel for them what would be considered a "love".
The truest meaning of love is unconditional. This is the love we feel for our children. There is no other bond or relationship we could have that would bring out the strongest emotions. Of course we get angry and disappointed. But that would never cause a loss of love. As in those moments of anger, we feel this way because we want only the very best for them. We are frustrated, but still loving. There is not one action, ever, that would change the amount of love I have.
If you truly love something, regardless of any circumstances, it is unconditional. Accepting faults, accepting mistakes and choices, and supporting them regardless of what life may bring. As any parent can attest, once their child was born, life changed. And no matter the situation, our children always rank #1.

I can say I have experienced God's love through my parents and family and the experience doesn't stop there. When I settled down and have my own family I experienced again His love through my husband and my daughters. The happiness I felt in seeing, embracing, and kissing them is something that cannot be bought. The love I felt for them gives my life meaning. I now have a sense of purpose in this life.
I know why God gave me this life because He wants me to experience His love for me. And that I think that is the most important thing in the world for love can sustain me through my any adversities in life. Love makes me feel that I can do anything, it helps me to get up when I have stumbled to persist whatever failures I have encounter.

Love is the surrender of your heart to another person. Love can make you over look faults and make you want to be a better person. Love should never bring you down but it should lift you up.

Although I am not a Christian anymore, I’ve always loved the verse about love: Love is gentle, love is kind, it does not seek its own gain, it is not rude, etc. When we say we love someone, we must be prepared to do all this to that person or we lie.
People mistake lust and desire for love. No wonder that the divorce rate is high. They think that they must always have lust or desire for that person. But that is not love. If you “love” someone because of what they can give to you, that is not love. That is selfishness, the desire to possess them as your own.
I’ve read a novel in which the main female character was a married woman who was having an affair with another man. She felt so deeply in love with the man that she felt that every time she slept with her husband, she felt like being raped. Her husband finally found out about the affair, but he said to her to go to the man if it could make her happy and he did it willingly for the sake of his wife. The woman finally understood love and returned to her husband.
As why love is important... love makes the world go round. We'll be nothing without love, but a selfish greedy animals that live only for themselves.
