Memo, let me tell you a secret. Love comes and builds from caring for each other and giving to each other. When a couple gets engaged they are “really, really, REALLY in ‘like” with each other. After they are engaged and start spending more time together and start doing things for each other, the gateway for loving each other opens. The more they do for each other, the more opportunity for loving each other. The term “ahava” comes from the shoresh “hav” which means to give. So that is the “key” to a loving relationship. Anyone who tells you that they were head over heels in love with their choson when they got engaged is weaving a very nice fairytale.
