- Love takes time. It needs a history of giving and receiving, laughing and crying...
- Love never promises instant gratification, only ultimate fulfillment.
- Love means believing in someone, in something. It supposes a willingness to struggle, to work, to suffer, and to rejoice.
- Satisfaction and ultimate fulfillment are by-products of dedicated love. They belong only to those who can reach beyond themselves; to whom giving is more important than receiving.
- Love is doing everything you can to help others build whatever dreams they have.
- Love involves much careful and active listening. It is doing whatever needs to be done, and saving whatever will promote the other's happiness, security, and well-being. Sometimes, love hurts.
- Love is on a constant journey to what others need. It must be attentive, caring and open, both to what others say and to what others cannot say.
- Love says no with empathy and great compassion.
- Love is firm, but when needed it must be tender.
- When others have tried and failed, love is the hand in yours in your moments of discouragement and disappointment.
- Love is reliable.
- Love is a choice and commitment to others' true and lasting happiness. It is dedicated to growth and fulfillment. Love is not selfish.
- Love forgives, knowing the intentions are good.
- Love does not attach conditions... Genuine love is always a free gift.
- Love realizes and accepts that there will be disagreements and disturbing emotions... There may be times when miles lay between, but love is a commitment. It believes, and endures all things.
- Love encourages freedom of self. Love shares positive and negative reactions to warm and cold feelings.
- Love, intimate love, will never reject others. It is the first to encourage and the last to condemn.
- Love is a commitment to growth, happiness, and fulfillment of one another.
My g/f and I enjoyed that very much.
