WHAT IS LOVE?
Love means that I care about the welfare of the person I love to the extent that it is genuine, my caring is not a smothering of the person or a possessive clinging. I’m concerned about his growth and I hope he will become all that he can become, and never put up roadblocks to what he does that enhances him as a person.
Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I love. See him as a separate person, with his own values and thoughts and feelings, and I don’t insist that he surrender his identity and conform to an image of what I expect him to be for me .I can allow and encourage him to stand alone and to be who he is, and I avoid treating him as an object or using him primarily to gratify my own needs.
In short, in love two beings become one and yet remain twoWHAT IS LOVE?
