Bishop Panteleimon. (№ 441603)

Love is a willingness to sacrifice oneself, a desire to make another person happy, a willingness to endure another, endure his shortcomings, endure his weaknesses, endure his imperfections. And not just endure in silence, gritting your teeth, with malice, with irritation, but with hope, with the hope of a change for the better. Help him in his moral growth, in his spiritual perfection. When you are ready to give yourself all to another: both your soul and body, and feelings, and time, and prosperity - everything is for another. This loyalty to another in everything is love - the basis of marriage.
