I found this post I really liked. It serves well at explaining what love really means in a relationship. Here is one of the quotes that I thought was intriguing.
No, love isn’t an emotion or even a noun. It’s a verb. Better defined as giving. As putting someone else’s needs above your own.
Why wasn’t I getting reciprocal lovey-doveyness when we were first married? Because it wasn’t for her. It was for me. An emotion I had in my chest.
What do you think about his definition of love? Does it resonate with you?
