Apart from the universal love, the love we refer to in relationships has changed over the years. It is that thing that makes life a little more bearable provided we did our work prior and go for it by choice. It’s a decision then. Love I believe is simply when we can be ourselves, meaning accepted for who we are and pushed to become what we can be, with us doing the same in return. Having a common desire to grow together. Since it takes quite a bit of work, we’d better have that.
