Love of a partner requires long-term commitment and wisdom and above all, work from both partners to nourish and nurture that love into a living growing thing. Without nourishment, all things die, even love. Do not easily discard love, for the day may come when love, in turn, discards you. Place a high value on this the most precious of life's joys. Some never find this treasure, many find and lose it through no fault of their own. Some discard it lightly as if it were of little value and easily replaced. The ability to love and be loved is the most precious of gifts given to man, and as such should be highly treasured.
