I have been trying to understand love for over a decade, but I seem to fail to understand the concept. Even with knowing Anthropology and Psychology of what Love is, I lack the understanding of the History of Love and the terminology of how Philosophically Love is created. One of the key notes is the question of how relationships are formed.

google.com is a search engine. There is no reason to put that as the first word of your question.
Love is when you are aware of a need and you take care of it. It has no particular connection to any relationship. It is a responsibility that you take on. There are five needs: air, water, food, shelter, and companionship.
Very few people know these principles. Some people feel insulted the first time they hear them. They would prefer that love involve a loss of control, as in "falling in love".
The world over, there are proverbs that highlight the value of true love. A Zulu proverb says, “Love does not choose the blade of grass on which it falls.” In the Philippines people say, “Love is the salt of life.” A Lebanese proverb states, “Love overlooks defects and hatred magnifies shortcomings.” Similar is the Irish saying, “Love conceals ugliness.” The Welsh say, “Love is stronger than a giant.” The Norwegians say, “That which is loved is always beautiful.” An English person might say, “A pennyweight of love is worth a pound of law.” In Spain, there is a saying, “True love lasts until death.”
The topic of love sells books and magazines, some of which make extravagant promises. Much of the advice comes at a price. And many people pay twice. They pay money to receive counsel. Then, when the guidance turns out to be flawed, as it often does, they pay emotionally when things don’t work out as expected.
There is, however, one source of advice that when applied never fails. Moreover, it discusses the subject truthfully, without making wild claims and unrealistic promises.
. No matter what our circumstances or background, the Bible teaches us what we need to know about love. And its counsel is free. The Bible will help us also to understand we will not be able to have a good relationship with everyone. Some people will not warm to us, no matter how hard we try. And genuine love cannot be forced. (Song of Solomon 8:4) However, by applying the Bible’s guidance, we will increase our opportunities of cultivating loving relationships with others, even though this may take time and effort
