Love Vs. in Love

Difference Between Love Vs. in Love

As a qualified relationship expert, I am often asked, what is the difference between love and in love? Well, it is important to accept these two emotions are different. One key difference is related to emotions. While loving someone stems from a secure attachment, being in love results from heightened infatuation with someone. Simply put, loving someone is not based on emotions, while being in love is heavily associated with emotions. Because loving someone involves accepting who they are, a relationship can be long-lasting. This is to say, being in love is not long-lasting.
