I´m a native speaker from Mexico (studying English), and I´ll try to explain.

The verb "querer" is used like "want": Yo quiero una cerveza, Yo quisiera una casa, Yo quería una bicicleta, etc.

Also is used in a sentimental context (not necessarily in a romantic way): Te quiero, ¿me quieres?, Te querré toda la vida, te querría aunque no fueras tan bella, etc. You can used it with your friends, relatives, boyfriend and girlfriend, neighboors, fatherland, even with your mother in love ;D

The verb "amar" implies a deeper love: Te amo, ¿me amas?, te amaré por siempre, siempre te he amado, etc. You use this verb with your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband or lover :-*

I hope I helped
