Love
People are taught about manners and how to be polite to one another, but people are not taught about love or how to be loving to one another. Learning to love involves three key steps: acknowledging and accepting love, being grateful and expressing appreciation, and finally reciprocating with loving action. This simple process breaks into the self-protective behaviors and attitudes that interfere with partners loving each other. It enables people to accept love with dignity and return love with appreciation. When people follow these suggestions, they find themselves actively involved in being in love.
