Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.
—I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)
The verse above describes the characteristics of true love. We can say that love is true when the person you love shows you how much he loves you. There’s a saying that “actions speak louder than words” and this is true. Words are easy to say but sometimes hard to do. Saying ‘I love you’ is not enough, it should be done. In love, lovers should have honesty, trust, and patience, be understanding and of course, love. And if you have problems, try not to keep them from your love. Let the two of you fix problems together. There should always be proper communication between the lovers. There should be no secrets. If there is no honesty, there will be no trust. You should treat each other equally.
If you have any problem, how big or small it is, tell it to your love one. Let him/her help you fix the problem. Show your love not only by saying ‘I love you’. Do things that make him/her feel your love. Over saying of these words or any actions make your love feel uncomfortable. Don’t be overacting that your love wanted to have space already. Sometimes, you also need to sacrifice for your love one. Example, if he is happier with another and you really want to see him happy, you will decide and think of setting him free. Though it hurts, you do this for the person you love because you see him happy.
Others say that there is really no true love. But if your love life conquers all, passed all the trials and the lovers feel that it is already stable, we could say that love is real and long lasting.
