At a time when most couples’ hearts pound with the beat of love, it’s crucial to gently shift focus to definitions of the word ‘love’ – what is it? Is it a feeling like popular culture has portrayed in music and movies? Or is there more to it?
As we navigate through life, it becomes more apparent that there’s more to love than just a feeling. Anything exacting an action that has the ability to strongly impact a person is worth analyzing.
