Does Adore Mean Love?

'Adore' can be defined as an intense or rapturous love. A profound loving admiration, devotion, and respect for someone.

What is the difference between love and adore?

In any case, adore is a step below in the chain of liking a person while love is the ultimate feeling which is the highest level in liking a person. But when you adore a person, you are that much closer to falling in love with him than you think. 'I Love You' are the strongest three words that you speak to a person.

Which is stronger adore or love?

The Oxford Dictionary (7th edn) says adore is to love somebody very much. That said, I think love is a much stronger word than adore as love encompasses a whole lot of other properties and feelings. A person may demonstrate the greatest act of love (not adoration) by sacrificing his/her life for another person.
