I think "adore" is stronger, because the dictionary says that "adore" means "to admire, respect and love" but "love" only means "love". People may find "love" stronger, because no one says "adore" anymore because of its formality. It has lost its meaning, and since saying "love" is the normal thing to say in a relationship, people expect that and not "adore".
