What Is The Proper Way To Love?

Well, how do you want to be loved? I guess it all starts there. Do you treat others the way you want to be treated? If we all loved others the way we want to be loved, wouldn’t the world be a bit better? I think so. Love can be shared among friends and family as well as your significant other. In fact, extending a smile or a random act of kindness to a stranger is indeed an act of love.

The way to love

To love is to allow others to be themselves

To love is to accept others for who they are

To love is to forgive

To love is to allow space

To love is to be patient

To love is to be kind and respectful

To love is to consider all perspectives

To love is to honor empathy

To love is to be able to laugh at ourselves

To love is to compromise without losing ourselves

To love is to have boundaries

To love is to be loved
