The verse is  1 Corinthinians, Ch. 13.

I tend to agree with you (that love = responsibility, commitment) 
but have been
taking a different view on the net because it seems that so many
people today *do* make a distinction. The depressing thing is that
if I agrre with you, it means that there is very little true love
around, as evidenced by the divorce rate. I am surprised and
bewildered by the quantity of people that have stated on the net
that they are uninterested in long-term relationships. Maybe most of
what passes for love these days *is* infatuation...
