18. Make Love a Verb, Not a Noun

In Korean and some other languages, the word “love” is a very significant word to express your feelings towards another person. In English, we use it to describe an array of experiences. We talk about how we love ice cream and good food, going to movies, and walking on the beach. We use the same word to describe what we feel for friends and family. Then there’s a special kind of love reserved just for husbands and wives, but even in marriage, the word love can have several meanings. When we say “I love you” to our spouse, it can mean so much more when it is expressed through thoughtful action and service.
