Why is the heart associated with "love"?

It may come from the Egyptians, they felt the soul (and everything about the person) was stored in the heart. In death, the brains were tossed away and not really considered useful at all.
In fact the internal organs were all placed in special jars, with the exception of the heart. There it stayed because you needed it for your journey in the afterlife.Like (2)

Our hearts are the seat of emotion. Every feeling that we have comes from our hearts. Nobody's quite sure, but it might have to do with a North African plant. During the seventh century B.C., the city-state of Cyrene * had a lucrative trade in a rare, now-extinct plant: silphium. Although it wasmostly used for seasoning, silphium was reputed to have an off-label use as a form of birth control. The silphium was so important to Cyrene's economy that coins were minted that depicted the plant's seedpod, which looks like the heart shape we know today. The theory goes that the heart shape first became associated with sex, and eventually, with love.
