Love is about giving. The problem with many couples is that either man or woman or both are selfish and unwilling to sacrifice. Little acts of sacrifice go a long way in showing love and bettering your bond.
Sacrificing simply means telling your spouse, “You will not walk alone. I care for you, your needs and what you care about”

- Love is when you are not a big fan of what your spouse watches as a sport or TV program; but you occasionally sacrifice your entertainment taste and join your spouse in enjoying what he/she loves to watch
