Without love we are nothing; an isolated person, a lump of cells. Love gives everything meaning but is too easily thrown away. If we find it, we don’t work hard enough at it (and you do have to work at it). You can’t make assumptions. You can’t run away from the bad stuff. Put it this way: if love between two people is profoundly tested by something, and you do get through to the other side, your relationship will be forged at a deeper level.
