What is Love?

are all telling us what love is NOT! Basically, true love is

not thinking of itself first! Its own needs or wants come after the needs and/or wants of the other.

Love does NOT demand its own way: this is a hard one for

most. Because our natural desire is to have our needs met,

and if it's not happening we often turn toward demanding

it in some way. This is why we fight in most of our friendship, family, and romantic, relationships because someone

is demanding their way as opposed to the way things are

going and they don't like it.

Love is not irritable: this again goes back to the first thing,

"patients". If we have done all of the things we have talked

about, then there is no way we could be irritable. If we are,

then we are lacking somewhere in the things we already

looked at.

Love keeps no records of wrongs: this one is huge! If you
