Love is hard to define, so I shall share what I know.
When you love someone, it's like you would kill to be in their presence. You enjoy their company more than life itself, and you would die for them. When you love someone, the very thought of them makes you smile. Love is when you make each other feel invincible, and nothing you do could ever go wrong, and if it does, it won't matter, because you have each other. Trust me, you will know when you have experienced love, because it is so much more than you could ever imagine.
You truly love a person when you are ready to consistently put what is good for your relationship ahead of what is good for you as an individual. Note that this doesn't mean "what is good for the other person", just what is healthy for the relationship itself - unfortunately that can often be at odds for what you want for yourself, personally.
Loving someone is choosing daily to to be committed to sustaining your relationship. There are going to be times when you don't like your partner very much. But when you love them, you continue to treat them with respect in these times, and recognize that they are a human who's emotional well-being you are charged with caring for through thick and thin - whether you feel like it or not.
