I reject the assertion that love is a spiritual experience. I believe it is a mix of mental and physical experience - from the chemicals in my body, and from the pathways in my brain, or more poetically, from the way I feel, and the way I think about my beloved ones.
In fact, from my perspective, adding spirituality to this cheapens it. I love my fiancee (as of a couple of weeks ago :-D ) fiercely, not because of any exterior divine influence, but because of how she is, what she does, how much she cares for things...
I'm sitting here looking at her, and I swell with joy, not because of anything external to her, but entirely because of how truely awesome she is. She can do that - it doesn't require anything more.
