Love and Relationships

Roles: lover, beloved, bond, attraction, commitment, breakup, intimacy

One of the richest target domains in any language — love is understood through journeys, war, madness, physical forces, magic, and collaborative art. The sheer number of source domains mapped onto love reveals how resistant the experience is to literal description.
