The Five Steps of Love:
One: Say it. When you say the words “I Love You”, it should carry with them the desire to show someone that you love them, not what you simply want to feel. When you say it make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person
Second: Empathize. Put yourself in to their shoes, rather than try to control them. Instead try to understand who they really are and how they feel. Also realize how they could also love you back just as you are.
Third: Love unconditionally. If you can’t love another person without attaching stipulations, then it’s not love, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others). If you have no intention of improving that person’s life, or allowing that person to be themselves and accepting them for whom they are, and not who you want them to be, then you’re not striving to love them unconditionally.
Four: Expect nothing in return. It means that giving love doesn’t guarantee receiving love back. Try loving just for the sake of love and realize that your partner may have a different way of showing his or her love for you, so don’t expect to be loved back in the exact same way. But none of this means you allow someone to mistreat you or undervalue you.
Five: realized it can be lost. If you can realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of love and what you and your lover have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love and but don’t make an IDOL of the person you love because that will put the under a lot of pressure and can likely result in you losing your partner.
