Dawn, I don't understand the question. Do you mean the difference between "with love" and "in love?"

"In love" to me, is more intense. You are 'in love' when you adore your partner, you want to please him/her, you want to share your life with that person. "Love" is, on the other hand, more generic. You have a lot of love in your life - you can love your neighbors, animals, nature, etc. You can 'love' someone too, because he/she is nice to you, he/she makes you laugh, and you enjoy his/her company. But you may not be 'in love'.
That's how I see it.

That's how I see it. I agree with milkshake. To go a step further, "in love" by my understanding of the principles here is derived from a person who meets your emotional needs (especially the top 3 or 4) and allows you to meet theirs. I love my kids, but I'm not "in love" with them - they certainly don't meet my emotional needs. I think I might have been "in love" with the woman I spent most of the weekend with, even if it was only temporarily. (now there's a question for you). Hey Daybreak, you have 2233 posts. Are we reading your question correctly, or is there more to it than that?? Opt
