**A family isn't necessarily about blood relations-it's a group of people that function as a unit. Often, but not always, this includes parents and children. But there is another kind of family, the one that is not related to blood.
Family can also mean all the descendants of a common ancestor. Some people consider their friends as family. However, when we speak of family love, the love you have with your friends might or might not fit, depending on what type of relationship you have.
Love is a word that's been used in so many ways, it's nearly lost its meaning. We may say we love ice cream or skiing, when what we mean is that we enjoy it. Love is, of course, commonly used to describe romantic or sexual feelings and behaviors.
