What is Love?

I was reading an article by Charles Stanley form the Feb. 2006 issue of In Touch magazine, and this struck me:

"While the word [love] has many definitions, love is really a commitment to another person's satisfaction, security, and development. In other words, we want someone else to feel safe, to have a sense of well-being, and to learn and become all that God has in mind for his or her life."

Hmm that sounds like something else i have heard before... "preferring another"... "preferring someone else's destiny over your own."
