愛(あい)は、「神の愛」「親から子への愛」というように、「無償」のものです。
恋(こい)は、恋人同士の間にあっていつか冷めるもの。
誰かを好きになった最初は「恋心」。
結婚するときに感じている深い情(気持ち)は「愛情」。
漢字の成り立ちから「恋は下心(下に心があるから)」、愛は上心ともいいます。

愛 is love and it is feeling. It is very deep word.
恋 isn't feeling. It shows situation such a man fall in love the girl.
Example
夫を愛している。I love my husband.
彼女は彼に恋をしている。She fall in love with him.
Then 愛 can use in a couple or between boyfriend and girlfriend but, 恋 can't.
This is because 恋 means to become loving someone and it don't use between couple.
So ”夫に恋をする。 ” is strange Japanese.
It's very difficult question I think.
