Love is
being happy for the other person
when they are happy,
being sad for the person
when they are sad,
being together in good times,
and being together in bad times.
(Susan Polis Schutz)

Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud.
Love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable.
Love does not keep a record of wrongs.
Love is not happy with evil
but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up; and its faith hope
and patience never fail.
(Susan Polis Schutz)
