I agree with most of the examples listed above...
I LOVE my wife, and I am also IN LOVE with my wife. This is why she is my wife.
I still LOVE my ex, in so much as I care a great deal about her and consider her a good friend (well, one of my ex's at least). I am no longer IN LOVE with her in so much as I have no desire to be in a relationship with her or be romantically involved with her.
I also LOVE many of my friends. My best buddy Sam is like a brother to me. It doesn't mean I have homosexual tendencies. *shrug*
At any rate, I find them to be completely different aspects of emotion.
