I love ribeye steaks and I love my wife but not in the same way. The "problem" is that the English word "love" is used for too many different things. For example (please bear with me), there are different words in the Greek that were all translated to the word love:
Eros - physical or sexual love
Phileo - brotherly love or deep friendship "I love you man"
Storgay - love of family
Agape - deepest love that would do or give anything for the loved one
True agape love is seen more than heard.
Along those lines, most people say they have many friends. I contend that we all have many acquaintances but few true friends. If we get along at work and have a good time we eat lunch then we are acquaintances. A friend is someone you wouldn't hesitate to call for help even if its 3 am in the morning and snowing. Likewise, the friend wouldn't think twice about answering the call and doing whatever it takes.
