The problem is the English language.
In French you can say, "je t'aime" which means I love you but not with the same force as, "je t'adore."
I can love a friend, I can love my kids, I can also love my lover -- the English language fails to provide us with a word that differentiates between these different types of love. We only have one word for each of these slightly different emotional states.
The phrase, "in love" is a sloppy way for trying to address this shortcoming in our language.
