Love and Affection
愛情 is a universal word in Japanese, Korean and Chinese which means love and affection.
Some may translate this as "love between a man and a woman".
Depending on context, it can mean utter devotion or favorite.
Best Love / Most Sincere Love
最愛 is a Japanese word that means the best love, beloved, or most sincere love of your life.
This could be a romantic love such as the love you have for your spouse or a boyfriend/girlfriend.
It can also apply to the extreme love you have for your children or a parent, and maybe a really good friend.
Best Love / Most Sincere Love
至愛 can mean the best love or most sincere love of your life.
This could be a romantic love such as the love you have for your spouse or a boyfriend / girlfriend.
It can also apply to the extreme love you have for your children or a parent, and maybe a really good friend.

Love
愛 universally means love in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, old Korean Hanja, and old Vietnamese.
愛 is one of the most recognized Asian symbols in the west and is often seen on tee-shirts, coffee mugs, tattoos, and more.
愛 can also be defined as affection, to be fond of, to like, or to be keen on. It often refers to romantic love, and is found in phrases like, "I love you". But in Chinese, one can say, "I love that movie" using this character as well.
This can also be a pet-name or part of a pet-name in the way we say "dear" or "honey" in English.
More about this character:
This may be hard to imagine as a westerner but the strokes at the top of this love character symbolize family & marriage.
The symbol in the middle is a little easier to identify. It is the character for "heart" (it can also mean "mind" or "soul"). I guess you can say that no matter if you are from the East or the West, you must put your heart into your love.
The strokes at the bottom create a modified character that means "friend" or "friendship."
I suppose you could say that the full meaning of this love character is to love your family, spouse, and friends with all of your heart, since all three elements exist in this character.
