Love is sacred - it is a gift from one to another, and should be treated as such.  It is unconditional, is not jealous, is totally trusting, and can withstand the most difficult of circumstance (hence the marriage vows "for better or worse").   Love is the greatest gift ~ to be treasured.
Whether you believe in God or the Bible is irrelevant....these words remain true always in describing what love is.

"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres....
Love never fails."
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ~
(NIV)

"And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love."
~v.13
