Love… I wonder what it really means. Love is a very subjective word, unlike any other word in the world. I think it’s something like our fingerprints. No one can understand what another person’s definition of love is, nor can anyone ever replicate another person’s love. Perhaps love is just a word we use when we have to define a feeling that just can’t be described, a feeling that no one else can understand but you.
Love is not an obscure pie-in-the-sky concept. Love is an action. It's very hands-on. And it's very do-or-die. The true meaning of love is not simply "I'm very fond of you" or "you make me feel really good". If your love is based solely on how good he/she makes you feel, what happens when he/she makes you angry beyond belief?
Or what happens when he/she betrays your trust? Or when you're not talking to each other?
Or when you're only arguing with each other?
Will your love cause you to abandon ship when the storms arise in your relationship?
Or will it compel you to stand your ground and safely guide your relationship through the storms to calm waters?
The choice is yours to make. What's the deciding factor? Your view of love, and how seriously you believe in it.The true meaning of love does not depend on the weather conditions of your relationship. Fair weather vs. Stormy weather. Love always reaches out to touch the good in each other, regardless of what's going on. So let's break down the definition of love even further. You need to truly see how marvelous it really is.
Okay, analyze each word from the above definition of love, this is what you get: "an absolute, undivided, uncompromised or unmodified careful thought, regard and respect, along with an extreme kind of selfless affection and dedication, for another person".
WEW! Truly powerful. That's really deep.
That leaves no ambiguity regarding the true meaning of love.
There's no room for doubting what to do when you're facing a difficult situation in your relationship. When the seas become rough, you don't drop the lifeboat and abandon your relationship. By all means, get to safety and don't look back!
But of course, I'm talking to the rest of us, (including myself! lols).
Those who are bored in their relationship.
What are you doing? Love makes no concession for your boredom! Nor for you wanting to "hook up" with someone else!
Look at the true meaning of love again: "an absolute, uncompromised, careful regard and respect along WITH an extreme kind of SELFLESS affection and dedication for another person."

You are responsible for your actions. Instead of turning your back on to relationship when you're toiling through bad times, your love drives you to reach out and bear each other’s pains.
Love causes you to comfort each other, even when you've just had the biggest argument. How many hurtful things have you said or done to your each other? How many times have you been forgiven for them? Why? LOVE.
Big words huh!? :D
Real love demands that all of your tender affection, care, dedication and respect is given selflessly.
That means it's not all about "me, me, me".
You're willing to sacrifice how you may really feel to make him/her happy.
You're willing to forgive when you've been wronged. You're able to look past and your sometimes volatile emotions to see and touch that beautiful person you loved.
Love allows each of you to be your best. That's what the true meaning of love is all about. If you see your each other hurting, you want to make them better. You want to take their pain away, even if you're the cause of it.
Sometimes, if the pain is deep, they may push you away initially. It may be best to give them time to process their hurt and anger so they can embrace you again. Just don't give up!
Sure, their actions may cause you hurt and pain. But do you walk out on your realtionship because of a temporary heartache? Do you retaliate, regardless of if you did wrong or not? Do you shut out, too, and put your realtionship on cruise control with no one to guide it?
NO! You push through those hard times. You dig your heels in deeper and hold on to each other. You even carry through if they're not able to walk the distance themselves. You never lose sight of each other. Never let go of each other.
The true meaning of love is simple. It's an all-out, selfless affection and dedication to each other. You immerse yourselves in each other so deeply that you easily see your own reflection when you look at each other...no, not literally. But you leave no room for anything else. No room for anyone else. That's what love is.
