I have also seen this question asked in other forums. My only objection is the wording of the question itself, 'love' is only for God, country, and family.
You definitely have a right to your opinion and meaning of the word.
Love is a universal word that encompasses many meanings for "appreciation, captivation, devotedness, emotion, like, treasure, infatuation, admiration, sexual passion, enjoyment, fondness...the list goes on.
You're using your version as a Noun. (Singular word)
We are using ours as a Verb. (In a sentence) It all depends on the sentence structure.
